Definitions

  • the present invention is to a water-soluble unit dose article comprising a laundry detergent composition wherein the detergent comprises a zwitterionic polyamine, and methods of using said unit dose article.
  • Water-soluble unit dose articles are liked by consumers due to their convenience and ease of use during the laundry operation.
  • Such water-soluble unit dose articles often comprise liquid laundry detergent compositions.
  • Non-soap surfactants are added to provide cleaning benefits.
  • due to the compact nature of unit dose articles there is finite space available for formulating actives into the composition. Therefore, there is a desire to reduce the overall levels of non-soap surfactant used, as non-soap surfactants tend to account for approximately 40% to 50% by weight of the detergent composition.
  • removal of surfactants can detrimentally affect cleaning performance.
  • WO2009153184 and EP2476743B1 teach low non-soap surfactant compositions in which loss of cleaning performance is compensated by addition of ethoxylated polyethyleneimines. Despite this, there remains a desire to further improve the cleaning benefit in low non-soap surfactant water-soluble unit dose formulations above that seen with ethoxylated polyethyleneimines.
  • a water-soluble unit dose article comprising low non-soap surfactant formulation and a zwitterionic polyamine provided improved stain removal benefits, especially particulate soil removal from fabrics as compared to a low non-soap surfactant formulation comprising ethoxylated polyethyleneimine.

However, upon addition of the water-soluble unit dose article to water, the water-soluble film dissolves and releases the contents of the internal compartment into the wash liquor.
  • the compartment should be understood as meaning a closed internal space within the unit dose article, which holds the detergent composition.
  • a first water-soluble film may be shaped to comprise an open compartment into which the detergent composition is added.
  • a second water-soluble film is then laid over the first film in such an orientation as to close the opening of the compartment. The first and second films are then sealed together along a seal region.
  • the unit dose article may comprise more than one compartment, even at least two compartments, or even at least three compartments.
  • the compartments may be arranged in superposed orientation, i.e. one positioned on top of the other. In such an orientation the unit dose article will comprise three films, top, middle and bottom.
  • the compartments may be positioned in a side-by-side orientation, i.e. one orientated next to the other.
  • the compartments may even be orientated in a 'tyre and rim' arrangement, i.e. a first compartment is positioned next to a second compartment, but the first compartment at least partially surrounds the second compartment, but does not completely enclose the second compartment.
  • one compartment maybe completely enclosed within another compartment.
  • the unit dose article comprises at least two compartments, one of the compartments may be smaller than the other compartment.
