Abstract

A home care article can include a composition and a substrate. The article can be compliant to a surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cleansing article, comprising:
a. a compliant cleansing composition having a first side and a second side;
b. a first substrate adjacent to one side of the cleansing composition;
c. a second substrate adjacent to the other side of the cleansing composition;
d. a first water insoluble substrate adjacent to the first substrate, and
e. a second water insoluble substrate adjacent to the second substrate;
f. wherein the composition has a compliance of about 0.03 to about 1.50 kg/mm.

2. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the first and second substrates form a pouch around the cleansing composition.

3. The cleansing article of claim 2 , wherein the composition is greater than 3,500 wt %, by weight of the total substrate.

4. The cleansing article of claim 2 , wherein the composition is greater than 4,000 wt %, by weight of the total substrate.

5. The cleansing article of claim 4 , wherein at least one substrate has a water flux rate of 20 cm 3 /cm 2 /s or more.

6. The cleansing article of claim 5 , wherein the article has a consumption rate of about 1.5 g/use to about 15 g/use.

7. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the first and second substrates comprise a formed film.

8. The cleansing article of claim 7 , wherein the first and second substrates are water penetrable.

9. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the first water insoluble substrate comprises a laminate.

10. The cleansing article of claim 9 , wherein the laminate comprises a nonwoven and a formed film.

11. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the first water insoluble substrate, second water insoluble substrate, or a combination thereof, are a contact substrate.

12. The cleansing article of claim 11 , wherein the contact substrate is adapted for contacting the skin.

13. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing composition comprises particles.

14. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing composition comprises a preservative.

15. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the cleansing composition is in the form of pellets, bar, paste, gel, or a combination thereof.

16. The cleansing article of claim 1 , wherein the article is compliant.

17. The cleansing article of claim 16 , wherein the article has a compliance of about 0.03 kg/mm to about 1.50 kg/mm.

18. The cleansing article of claim 16 , wherein the article has a compliance of about 0.05 kg/mm to about 1.15 kg/mm.

19. The cleansing article of claim 16 , wherein the article has a compliance of about 0.10 kg/mm to about 1.1 kg/mm.

20. The cleansing article of claim 16 , wherein the composition has a compliance of about 0.05 kg/mm to about 1.15 kg/mm.

21. The cleansing article of claim 16 , wherein the composition has a compliance of about 0.10 kg/mm to about 1.1 kg/mm.

22. The cleansing article of claim 16 , wherein the composition comprises micro fibril cellulose.

23. The cleansing article of claim 21 , wherein the first and second substrates comprise the same formed film.

24. The cleansing article of claim 23 , wherein the formed film comprises polyolefin.

25. The cleansing article of claim 24 , wherein the first substrate, second substrate, or both substrates, are water penetrable.

26. The cleansing article of claim 25 , wherein the first water insoluble substrate comprises a laminate.

27. The cleansing article of claim 26 , wherein the laminate comprises a nonwoven and a formed film.

28. The cleansing article of claim 27 , wherein the first water insoluble substrate, second water insoluble substrate, or a combination thereof, are a contact substrate.

29. The cleansing article of claim 28 , wherein the contact substrate is adapted for contacting the skin.

30. The cleansing article of claim 29 , wherein the cleansing composition comprises a preservative.

31. The cleansing article of claim 30 , wherein the cleansing composition comprises particles.

32. The cleansing article of claim 30 , wherein the article has a compliance of about 0.03 kg/mm to about 1.50 kg/mm.

33. The cleansing article of claim 30 , wherein the article has a compliance of about 0.05 kg/mm to about 1.15 kg/mm.

34. The cleansing article of claim 30 , wherein the article has a compliance of about 0.10 kg/mm to about 1.1 kg/mm.

35. The cleansing article of claim 34 , wherein the composition is greater than 3,500 wt %, by weight of the total substrate.
