Abstract:
Fabric softening compositions comprising polymeric materials capable of retaining volatile perfume ingredients are disclosed, as well as methods of softening fabrics.
Abstract:
A water soluble container having disposed therein a nonaqueous liquid fabric softener composition. The water soluble container is formed by a water soluble polymer selected, inter alia, from polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, alkyl celluloses, polyacrylates, polyacrylamides and derivatives of the above. The nonaqueous liquid fabric softener composition is based on amine fabric softening compounds and alpha hydroxy aliphatic acids.
Abstract:
A water soluble container having disposed therein a nonaqueous liquid fabric softener composition. The container is formed from a polymer chosen from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl alcohols copolymers, partially hydrolysed polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, alkyl celluloses and their ethers and esters, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, dextrin maltodextrin, polyacrylates, polyacrymides and acrylic acid/maleic anhydride copolymers. The softener composition comprises at least one organic softening agent chosen from the group consisting of fatty acid soaps,glycerol esters, ethoxylated fatty esters, fatty alcohols, polyol polymers, higer fatty acid esters of pentaerythritol, silicone oil compounds, olein esterquat compounds, olein amido-amine compounds, quaternised alkyl imidazoline compounds, synthetic esters and natural esters.
Abstract:
A unit dose wash cycle fabric softening composition for softening or conditioning fabrics in the wash cycle of an automatic washing machine, said unit dose comprising a compacted granular fabric softener composition comprising a softening clay component in an amount sufficient to form a unit dose capable of providing effective softening or conditioning of fabrics in the wash cycle of said washing machine.
Abstract:
An environmentally compatible and biodegradable rinse cycle fabric conditioning composition is provided capable of providing improved softening with significant reduction and solubilization of unwanted mineral encrustations on fabrics to be softened. The composition comprises: (a) from about 1 to about 20 %, by weight, of a diesterified long chain fatty acid cationic fabric softener represented by general formula (I), wherein RCO represents the residue of a fatty acid having from about 12 to 24 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 represent independently a lower alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; n and m are integers from 1 to 4 and X is a water-solubilizing anion; and (b) from about 1 to about 25 %, by weight, of unreacted organic or mineral acid.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed, in certain embodiments, to compositions useful for the removal of grease, lime scale, soap scum, feces, rust or other soils from surfaces such as those found in bathrooms, toilets and kitchens. Methods of removing soils and preventing soil adhesion are also contemplated.
Abstract:
A water soluble container which is formed from water soluble polymer and disposed therein a granular fabric softener composition, comprising a clay based mineral softener in combination with an organic softener and a perfume, wherein the composition contains less than 3.0 wt. % of water.
Abstract:
There is provided a fabric conditioner that reduces wrinkle formation in laundered garments. There is further provided a method for reducing the occurrence of wrinkles in laundered garments.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods of reducing fabric malodor, comprising applying a water-soluble soil release polymer (SRP), as well as compositions comprising such polymers.
Abstract:
A water soluble container having disposed therein a nonaqueous liquid fabric softener composition, wherein said fabric softener composition comprises 25 % to 65 % of at least one softening compound which is an amido-amine softening agent.
