A paste-form detergent and process of making the detergent is presented. The detergent is composed of: 5 to 30 percent by weight of an ethoxylated alcohol of the formula R,&mdash;(OC,H,),&mdash;OH where R,is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 9 to 15 carbon atoms and the average degree of ethoxylation m is 1 to 8; 1 to 20 percent by weight of an ethoxylated alcohol of the formula R,&mdash;(OC,H,),OH where R,is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 12 to 22 carbon atoms and the average degree of ethoxylation n is 3 to 14, and n is greater than m by at least 1.0; 1 to 20 percent by weight of an alcohol or alkyl ether corresponding to the formula R,&mdash;O&mdash;R,where R,is an alkyl or alkenyl group containing 6 to 22 carbon atoms and R,is hydrogen or an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; 20 to 80 percent by weight of an alkalizing agent, and 0 to 15 percent by weight of an organic builder. The paste-form detergent is useful in institutional laundries and results in a reduced tendency to foam at the rinsing and pressing stage.

Pastelike detergent and cleaning agent

An institutional textile washing process comprising a washing step preceded by a pretreatment step comprising a soaking step or a prewash step, wherein the textile is treated in the pretreatment step in the presence of water with a soil release polymer comprising a copolyester of a dicarboxylic acid and a diol or a polydiol.

Bleaching agents in the form of granulates of uniform composition which contain

Granular bleach agent: solid aliphatic peroxy-carboxylic acid, inorganic

Liquid aftertreatment preparations for laundry having fabric-softening, acidifying and antichlorinating properties which contain, in acidic aqueous solution, hydrogen peroxide or an organic percarboxylic acid, a quaternary ammonium compounds, and hexafluorosilicic acid and/or water-soluble salts thereof, more especially the magnesium salt, as an acidifying agent. Preparations containing magnesium salts of hexafluorosilicic acid are distinguished by particularly high stability of the per compounds.

Composition and process for the aftertreatment of washed laundry

Cyanamide compounds corresponding to the following formula ##STR1## in which R and R' each represent C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, cyclohexyl and benzyl, are used as activators for inorganic per compounds. They are preferably used in the mildly alkaline range at temperatures below 45.degree. C. Applications include the bleaching of textiles and hard surfaces, the oxidation of organic and inorganic intermediate products, and disinfection.
