A cleaning system which comprises:(a) a water soluble container selected from the group consisting of a sachet, ampoule, capsule or sphere, (b) a liquid cleaning composition disposed in said water soluble container, wherein said liquid cleaning composition comprises approximately by weight: (i) 1% to 10% of a silicone fluid; (ii) 1% to 10% of a perfume, essential oil or a water insoluble saturated or unsaturated organic compound having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and a water insoluble mono or diorganic acid having about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms; and (iii) 45% to 90% of a mixture of an ethoxylated/propoxylated nonionic surfactant and an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant, wherein the composition does not contain an anionic sulfate surfactant, an anionic sulfonate surfactant, an amine oxide surfactant, hexylene glycol, an alkali metal salt of citric acid or tartaric acid, a peroxy compound bleaching agent, an alkali metal hydroxy polycarboxylic acid salt having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, a metal salt of a copolymer of methacrylic acid and maleic anhydride and carboxy methyl cellulose.
- 2. The system according to claim 1 wherein said container is formed from a water soluble, melt processable polymer.
- 3. The system according to claim 1 wherein said container is formed from a polyvinyl alcohol polymer.
- 4. A cleaning system which comprises:(a) a water soluble container selected from the group consisting of a sachet, ampoule, capsule or sphere; (b) a liquid cleaning composition disposed in said water soluble container, wherein said liquid cleaning composition comprises approximately by weight: (i) 1% to 10% of a fatty acid; (ii) 1% to 10% of a perfume, essential oil or a water insoluble saturated or unsaturated organic compound having 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and a water insoluble mono or diorganic acid having about 6 to about 24 carbon atoms; (iii) 1% to 8% of an alkylene carbonate; and (iv) 45% to 90% of a mixture of an ethoxylated/propoxylated nonionic surfactant and an ethoxylated surfactant, wherein the composition does not contain an anionic sulfate surfactant, an anionic sulfonate surfactant, an amine oxide surfactant, hexylene glycol, an alkali metal salt of citric acid or tartaric acid, a peroxy compound bleaching agent, an alkali metal hydroxy polycarboxylic acid salt having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, a metal salt of a copolymer of methacrylic acid and maleic anhydride and carboxy methyl cellulose.
- 5. The system according to claim 4 wherein said container is formed from a water soluble, melt processable polymer.
- 6. The system according to claim 4 wherein said container is formed from a polyvinyl alcohol polymer.
