Definitions
- the present invention concerns a viscous laundry product and packaging therefore.
- An objective is to provide an improved pre-treatment device for the precise pre- treatment of laundry stains.
- the present invention provides a packaged laundry product comprising a flowable laundry composition contained in a package, wherein:
- the flowable laundry composition has a viscosity of at least 100 Pa. s. (and preferably at least 500 Pa. s) when in rest or up to a shear stress of 10 Pa and comprising at least one surfactant;
- the package comprises a squeeze-operated compressible container in which the flowable laundry composition is stored and a dispensing device and stain treatment device both located at the base of the compressible container;
- a reservoir providing a supportive base portion and configured to receive the dispensed flowable laundry composition from the dispensing device and also receive at least a portion of the stain treatment device.
- the invention provides a method of treating a stain on a fabric using the device of the first aspect, the method comprising the steps of:
- Steps (ii) and (iii) may be repeated at least once e.g. for larger stains, where repeated loading of the stain treatment device is needed.
- the advantage of the above arrangement is that it offers great ease in a high viscosity composition vis-a-vis stained areas. Highly viscous liquids or gels are desirable for treating as they do not spread out so much after application and so can be restricted to the stain area.
- stain treating with such high viscosity fluids using squeeze-operated hand-held products can be difficult ergonomically.
- One particular problem is how to dispense a high viscosity composition onto the stain treatment device so it may be applied to the stain.
- Various devices are known, such as sponge applicators downstream of a dispensing orifice, whereby dispensing the fluid forces it through the sponge, however this is difficult with high viscosity fluids to get large amounts onto the stain treatment device.
- the arrangement of invention allows the composition to be dispensed in the reservoir, such that it can be applied to the stain treatment device very easily and repeatedly for repeated loading with the composition which is useful for larger stains.
- the dispensing/stain treatment part being positioned at the base of the reservoir, means the user does not need to invert the package to dispense and treat stains as gravity maintains the composition at the bottom of the container, ready for dispensing.
- the dispensing device need not involve complicated and expensive seal/valves as the reservoir encloses the stain treatment device any drips are collected in the reservoir for later use. This also allows efficient emptying of the bottle when the composition is nearly all used up.
- the stained area may present in any form such as discolouration, fading, darkening and may be due to soil or dirt or any other stain-creating substance.
- stains affect localised areas (as opposed to the whole garment being affected) but can be quite large.
- the treatment may precede a further operation such as a main washing operation. However it may also incorporate a rinsing process whereby the stain is simply treated and the stained area or whole fabric/article rinsed without a main wash.
- the dispensing device may comprise a channel or duct or valve or aperture or any combination thereof.
- the reservoir may be part of a closure and may also be used as a dosing device which can be placed in a washing machine along with the stained fabric (for a main wash or for a rinse etc) which has been pre-treated using the stain treatment device.
- the reservoir preferably receives the stain treatment device to such a degree that the stain treatment device projects into the reservoir by more than 50% of the depth of the reservoir, and more preferably by more than 60%, even more preferably by more than 75% and most preferably by more than 90%.
- the depth of the reservoir would preferably be the depth measured from the centre of the reservoir base to the top level of the reservoir sides at its highest point.
- the depth would be measured along the longitudinal axis from the centre of the base which is the deepest part to the level of the sides - in Fig 1 this is shown from X to Y. - A -
- This feature means that the stain treatment device projects sufficiently deeply into the reservoir such that the stain treatment device is easily loaded with the composition.
- the reservoir forms part of a closure device, this is especially advantageous, since it minimises the risk that inserting the stain treater into the reservoir activates any closure mechanism (e.g. by snap-fit engagement or screw- on screw-off) as screw-threads or snap-fit members become engaged by accident.
- the stain treatment device may comprise a device allowing mechanical cleaning, such as a body with multiple projections.
- the projections may be flexible so that they move during cleaning providing a light cleaning action. Alternatively some or all of the projections may be semi-rigid or rigid so as to provide a harsher mechanical cleaning action.
- the projections may be thin e.g. bristles to provide a brush-like device, or thicker so as to provide finger like projections.
- the stain treatment device comprises a generally hemispherical body with multiple projections extending radially therefrom.
- the stain treatment device may itself be an extension of the dispensing device. So it may be continuous with e.g. a dispensing aperture, valve etc. It may comprise a surface surrounding said aperture or valve etc. so that it can be loaded with, so as to carry the composition which is then applied to the stained area without any scrubbing action as might be used with the above described devices containing projections.
- the surface may be a ring (full or partial e.g. annular section) around the dispensing aperture.
- the package may have a convex, preferably a curved e.g. hemispherical top to deter users from storing the bottle top-down. In this way the package is more likely to be stored in a stain treatment device - loading position i.e. with the flowable laundry composition accumulated by gravity in the base of the package.
- the composition is preferably a shear thinning gel-type composition.
- the viscosity under shear stress may be less than 300 Pa. s, preferably less than 100 Pa. s and more preferably less than 5 Pa. s, even more preferably it is at most 1 Pa. s and most preferably it is at most 0.5 Pa. s.
- Shear thinning compositions may comprise a polymer gum, e.g. Xanthan gum or other gum capable of forming stable continuous gum networks which can suspend particles.
- a polymer gum e.g. Xanthan gum or other gum capable of forming stable continuous gum networks which can suspend particles.
- external structurants e.g. hydrogenated castor oil, micro crystalline cellulose may be used.
- compositions may comprise a soap or fatty acid in combination with sodium sulphate and one or more surfactants may be used to form a gelled structure by the formation of lamellar phases.
- the composition may comprise a lamellar phase dispersions from a micellar surfactant systems, and additionally a structurant for establishing the lamellar phase, whereby said structurant may be a fatty alcohol.

- Figure 1 shows a packaged laundry product according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the product 1 comprises a flowable laundry composition 3 contained in a package 5, the high viscosity laundry composition 3 according to Example A or B detailed below.
- the package comprises a squeeze-operated compressible container, in this example a plastic bottle 7 storing the flowable, high viscosity laundry composition 3 and a dispensing device 9 and a fabric stain treatment device 11.
- the dispensing device 9 is located at the base 13 of the container 7 and is enclosed by a dosing closure device 14.
- the closure 14 comprises the supportive base 13 of the package 5.
- the bottle 7 and a stain treatment device 11 are attached to each other by threaded connection.
- the stain treatment device comprises projections (not shown).
- it is a sponge, and in a further embodiment it is thin annular section around the orifice 25 (described below).
- the closure 14 is attached to the bottle also by a threaded connection. (Threaded connections not shown).
- the closure 14 is connected to the bottle 7 using a snap-on connection, which negates the requirement to rotate the bottle/closure to open shut.
- the bottle 7 is fabricated from a flexible plastic material comprising polyethylene terephthalate.
- the top 21 of the bottle is curved to discourage storage top-down.
- the closure 14 includes an enlarged (with respect to at least the neck region of the bottle) flat, generally planar bottom surface 15. By providing an enlarged flat top surface 15, the surface allows the closure 14 to function as a supportive base with the bottle 7 in an inverted position thereby allowing the high viscosity gel 3 to accumulate (under gravity) during storage at the dispensing device 9.
- the closure 14 incorporates a reservoir portion 17 in which the stain treatment device 11 is shown enclosed.
- the closure 14 has a tapered outer shape, wherein the tapering is outward in the direction of the base, to provide a stable base area 15 as described about.
- the stain treatment device projects into the reservoir by approximately 60% of the depth of the reservoir (the depth being measured along a longitudinal line X-Y. This affords the advantage that the stain treatment device can be inserted into the reservoir and contact the dispensed composition so as to be easily loaded with this, without the screw threads engaging, even when the reservoir is not filled to the top with composition.
- the dispensing device 9 comprises an orifice 25 through which dispensing may occur.
- the orifice includes a valve 22 in fluid communication with duct 23.
- the valve 22 comprises a membrane extending across orifice 25.
- the orifice/membrane are located further downstream in the duct. In the extreme examples, it is an the end, as shown in figure ref. 32
- the membrane has an arcuate portion (not shown) directed toward the container 7.
- the arcuate portion of the membrane is provided with a intersecting slits to define a plurality of generally triangular leaves.
- the triangular leaves bend toward the open end of the orifice 25 allowing product to pass through the orifice 25.
- the triangular leaves spring back to their original position and operate to block passage of product through the orifice 25.
- the leaves of the valve are sufficiently resilient that they do not bend open unless the applied pressure exceeds the hydraulic static head pressure generated by a full of condiment.
- the fluid is pressurised to flow past and partially collect at the base of the bottle 7 ready for squeeze-operated dispensing into the reservoir. Any of the fluid which remains on the stain treatment device 11 , drips into the reservoir, for later use. This reduces waste of product.
- composition A is according to the invention
- Borax Sodium tetraborate (10aq) nonionic surfactant: ethoxylated alcohol with on average 9 ethylene oxide groups.
- composition A The gel detergent composition exemplified by composition A was found to be shear thinning and stable. Furthermore, typical detergent particles of density between 0.8 and 0.9 g/cm3 and having a diameter up to 5000 microns could be stable suspended in this composition for more than 2 weeks without any observable net movement of the particles.
- Viscosity was measured at varying shear rates from very low shear up to a shear regime in excess of 100 s "1 . Two situations are shown: the viscosity measured at relatively low shear (20 s "1 ) and that measured at much higher shear (100 s "1 ). It can be seen that the viscosity of composition A at high shear is much lower than that obtained at low shear, whereas composition B shows almost equal viscosity's for high and low shear. In other words composition A is clearly shear thinning, whereas composition B is not.
- Borax Sodium tetraborate (10aq) nonionic surfactant: ethoxylated alcohol with on average 9 ethylene oxide groups
- Sodium alcohol EO sulphate ethoxylated alcohol sulphate with on average 3 ethylene oxide groups.
- Composition B was is a stable, transparent, pourable shear thinning liquid, capable of stable suspending typical detergent particles having a density of between 0.8 and 0.9 g/cm3 and a diameter of up to 5000 microns, for more than 2 weeks without any observable net movement of the particles.
