Examples include a consumer product comprising a box comprising a detergent product, a lid and a lock. The lid comprises flanks covering a specific portion of a specific sidewall of the box. The lock comprises a specific actuator moveable by pressure, the actuator being connected to the specific portion, the flanks comprising an actuation area facing the actuator and permitting displacing it by applying the pressure. A transversal wall of the box is connected to the specific sidewall and to another sidewall of the box.
Detergent compositions comprising DNase variants and cleaning adjunct. Methods of treating surfaces such as fabrics by contacting the surface with an aqueous wash liquor having the detergent composition therein. The compositions and methods are particularly for improving whiteness of a fabric, improved soil removal from a fabric, for malodour removal from a fabric, for anti-wrinkle benefits, anti-redeposition benefits and/or for improved drying of a fabric.
Provided is a method for producing an absorbent article comprising a water-absorbing resin having an excellent initial water absorption speed under load even substantially without adding a liquid permeability enhancer. The method steps for producing the water-absorbing resin includes the step of polymerizing a monomer while adding certain polyalkylene glycol thereto so as to generate, during or after the polymerization, a crosslinked hydrogel polymer containing the polyalkylene glycol of a specific molecular weight, wherein the crosslinked hydrogel polymer has a centrifuge retention capacity within a given range and a final water-absorbing resin to be obtained has various physical properties (CRC, AAP, SFC, FSR) being within given ranges.
