Concentrated laundry cleaning compositions in unit dose packets or pouches

A method for producing a unit dose packet, the method comprising:

• preparing a concentrated cleaning composition consisting of, based on a total weight of the concentrated cleaning composition:
• from 10 wt. % to 60 wt. % of one or a plurality of nonionic surfactants;
• from 2 wt. % to 20 wt. % of one or a plurality of fatty acid soaps;
• from 0.1 wt. % to 3.0 wt. % of one or a plurality of enzymes;
• a solvent system;
• from 5 wt. % to 50 wt. % of one or a plurality of fatty acid alkyl ester sulfonates, wherein the fatty acid alkyl ester sulfonates consist of fatty acid methyl ester sulfonates according to formula (I):
• R—CH(SO3M)—CO—OCH3 (I)
• wherein R is an alkyl group and M is a cation;
• from 0 wt. % to 10 wt. % of one or a plurality of chelants;
• from 0 wt. % to 10 wt. % of one or a plurality of detersive polymers;
• from 10 wt. % to 30 wt. % organic solvents;
• and
• at least one additive selected from the group consisting of an enzyme stabilizer, a suspended detersive agent, a fabric conditioning agent, an additional surfactant, a fragrance, an encapsulated fragrances, an opacifying agent, a colorant, an optical brightener, a pH control agent, a disinfecting agent, a germicidal agent, an anti-redeposition agent, an optical brightener, an anti dye transfer agent, a color protection agent, a free residual monoethanolamine, and combinations thereof;
• and
• wherein the cleaning composition is compatible with polyvinyl alcohol films;
• and
• sealing a portion of the concentrated cleaning composition within a pouch or packet formed by a water soluble film.

• R—CH(SO3M)—CO—OCH3 (I)
• wherein R is an alkyl group and M is a cation;
• from 0 wt. % to 10 wt. % of one or a plurality of chelants;
• from 0 wt. % to 10 wt. % of one or a plurality of detersive polymers;
• a solvent system consisting of organic solvents or organic solvents and water, wherein a concentration of the organic solvents in the concentrated cleaning composition is from 10 wt. % to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the concentrated cleaning composition;
• and
• at least one additive selected from the group consisting of an enzyme stabilizer, a suspended detersive agent, a fabric conditioning agent, an additional surfactant, a fragrance, an encapsulated fragrances, an opacifying agent, a colorant, an optical brightener, a pH control agent, a disinfecting agent, a germicidal agent, an anti-redeposition agent, an optical brightener, an anti-dye transfer agent, a color protection agent, a free residual monoethanolamine, and combinations thereof;
• and
• wherein the concentrated cleaning composition is compatible with polyvinyl alcohol film, wherein the unit dose packet comprises single chamber, a dual chamber, or multi-chamber unit dose packet, and at least one compartment of the unit dose packet comprises a total weight of the concentrated cleaning composition of from 15 grams to 30 grams.
