Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of hard surface cleaning compositions; in particular liquid detergent compositions having foaming and cleaning characteristics in the main wash, yet significant foam reduction during rinse.
  • One way of saving water is to reuse the water and another way is to reduce the amount of water being used.
  • Washing processes including laundry, dishwashing and other household cleaning processes, require large amounts of water throughout the world. These are daily chores in which the use of water and a detergent cannot be avoided. Consumers usually like to see a lot of foam while washing as they associate foaming with detergent efficiency. However, it's rinsing that often takes a lot of effort and uses excess of water.
  • the amount of water required for rinse is entirely dependent on the detergent used. Therefore, the use of water can be reduced or controlled based on the detergent.
  • WO 98/27189 discloses a mildly acid laundry detergent composition for improved protection of fine fabrics during washing and enhanced removal of generated foam during rinsing in hand wash comprising at least one anionic surfactant and/or at least one non-ionic surfactant and a rinse-active pH sensitive foam control agent comprising a fatty acid, whereby upon rinsing, at least a portion of said fatty acid is converted to a soap which functions to suppress foam during rinsing.
