Appl. No.:

09/508918

Inventors:

Rodney Mahlon Wise - Cincinnati OH
Steven Barrett Rogers - Cincinnati OH

Assignee:

Procter Gamble - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

B32B 300

US Classification:

428156, 428172, 510120, 510285, 510291, 510295, 510439, 442 76, 442 85, 442118, 442152, 442153, 442164, 442218, 442242, 442286, 442394, 15104001, 152091, 152441, 8137, 8142

Abstract:

Articles designed to clean/refresh soiled fabrics are improved by means of texturing at least one surface and/or by applying tackiness agents. In use, the articles rub against the fabrics, whereupon lint removed from the fabrics is trapped and retained by the tackiness agent. Refolding of the articles during use is substantially minimized by imparting texture to one or more of the articles surfaces.

International Classification:

C11D 724

US Classification:

252162

Abstract:

Compositions and methods for removing oily soils from fabrics involving treatment with specific mixtures of solvents and solvent soluble emulsifiers in an aqueous washing medium followed by treatment with specified surface active agents to remove retained solvent from fabrics. The compositions herein can be employed singly in aqueous washing media to remove oily materials from fabrics or can be admixed with other materials suitable for use in a laundry procedure.

US Classification:

252526

Abstract:

A process for the preparation of spray-dried granular detergent compositions containing an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant and a zwitterionic surfactant, wherein the degradation of the zwitterionic surfactant during processing is minimized, is disclosed. In the process, the nonionic and zwitterionic components are intimately mixed, in the absence of alkaline components, prior to their addition to an aqueous alkaline crutcher mix, which is formed into detergent granules by spray-drying.
