Laundry detergent compositions containing a detergent surfactant, a detergent builder, and from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight ethylenediamine-N,N'-disuccinic acid or salts thereof are disclosed. These compositions provide enhanced removal of organic stains, such as food and beverage stains.
The present invention relates to solid magnesium peroxycarboxylate salts and detergent compositions containing them. These compounds have markedly improved stability characteristics relative to the corresponding peroxycarboxylic acids, especially when admixed with alkaline granular detergent product ...
Compositions are disclosed containing fabric softener compound having two hydrophobic groups attached to the remainder of the compound through ester linkages (DEQA), said compositions being concentrated and containing viscosity/dispersibility modifiers which are single long chain cationic surfactant ...
Disclosed are the N,N'-(1-oxo-1,2-ethanediyl)-bisaspartates comprising the moiety ##STR1## methods for their preparation (including an unexpected preparation from glyoxal bisulfite and aspartic acid in concentrated aqueous alkaline media) and useful compositions containing the same; illustrative are ...
Disclosed are stable liquid laundry detergent and liquid fabric softener compositions containing a Smectite-type clay fabric softener and an antisettling agent in a low water/polyol formulation and, optionally, a softness enhancing amount of a polymeric clay-flocculating agent. Also disclosed is a m ...
The present invention relates to liquid and solid biodegradable fabric softener compositions combined with nonionic or anionic esters of a non-allylic alcohol perfumes. These compositions exhibit improved perfume longevity and reduced enviromental impact.
This invention relates to bleaching compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to bleaching compositions that provide effective and efficient bleaching performance on textiles. Such bleaching performance is obtained over an extremely wide class of stains and wide range of temperatures o ...
The present invention relates to dryer-activated fabric softening compositions comprising: (A) fabric softening compounds; and (B) an ester of an alcohol perfume wherein the ester has at least one free carboxylic acid. The ester has the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group ...
The present invention relates to a fabric softening bar composition comprising: from about 40% to about 90% by weight of the composition of a hydrophobic fabric softening compound, from about 5% to about 30% by weight of the composition of a nonionic surfactant, and from about 5% to about 30% by wei ...
The present invention relates to dryer-activated fabric softening compositions comprising: (A) quaternary ammonium compounds; (B) a carboxylic acid salt of a tertiary amine and/or a tertiary amine ester; and (C) optionally, a nonionic softener; wherein the IV of the total number of fatty acyl groups ...
