Abstract:
Granular detergent compositions and in particular low density, phosphate containing detergent compositions comprise a specific bleaching system containing hydrophobic peracid bleach and hydrophilic peracid bleach and a peroxide source. These detergent compositions have specific low levels of available oxygen from hydrophobic aid hydrophilic peroxyacid bleach, specific ratios of available oxygen from the hydrophobic peracid bleach to the hydrophilic peracid bleach and specific ratios of available oxygen of the peroxide source to the available oxygen of the peracids. These specific mixed bleach systems are useful for sanitization or reduction of bacterial activity.
Abstract:
Fabric care compositions comprise cationic starch and fabric softening active, wherein the composition comprises a viscosity of less than about 2000 centipoise.
Abstract:
A method of softening fabrics where the consumer adds an effective amount of a particulate fabric softening composition comprising fabric softener agent to an automatic dosing dispenser with water, seals the dispenser, and places the automatic dosing dispenser into a washing machine at the beginning of the wash process. The mechanical agitation and/or heat of the wash cycle aids in forming a finely divided emulsion/dispersion of fabric softener agent which is then released from the dispenser during the rinse cycle.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes an ice vending machine with a water vending teller that is mounted on an exterior side of the ice vending machine.
Abstract:
Polymer compositions, while providing suitable wrinkle control, also tend to dispense poorly when sprayed. The present invention shows that when viscosity of polymer compositions is minimized spray dispensing improves. Several approaches to minimizing the viscosity of polymer compositions are disclosed. Methods of controlling wrinkles in fabrics comprise treating fabrics with a variety of polymer compositions following a variety of methods. Articles of manufacture comprise (1) a container or substrate, (2) a wrinkle controlling composition, and (3) a set of instructions.

Abstract:
Short-chain surfactants such as octyl sulfate are used to provide a solvent-like cleaning function in detergent compositions. Preferred bleach-containing hard surface cleaners comprising the short-chain surfactants and long-chain surfactants, are especially useful for bathroom and kitchen clean-up operations. Compositions with long-plus-short chain surfactants including alkyl sulfates, olefin sulfonates, amine oxides and the like, are disclosed.
