A process for fixing dyes impregnated in fine-dimensional synthetic textile substrates in an environmentally safe manner. The process comprises contacting the dyed synthetic substrates with a phenol- and formaldehyde-free dye-fixative composition comprising:

Process for fixing dyes in textile materials

A cleaning additive containing (a) from about 8 to about 16% by weight of a nonionic sugar surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl glucose esters, aldobionamides, gluconamides, glyceramides, glyceroglycolipids, polyhydroxy fatty acid amides, an alkyl polyglycoside of formula I:

Composition for cleaning textile dyeing machines

A process for bleaching and scouring unfinished textile materials by adding to an aqueous alkaline peroxide bath an effective amount of a surfactant composition containing

Alkyl polyglycosides in textile scour/bleach processing

An aqueous dye composition containing a solvent-free dye carrier selected from the group consisting of mono-styrenated phenols, di-styrenated phenols, tri-styrenated phenols, para-cumenyl phenols, and mixtures thereof.

Non-solvent polyester dye auxiliary

The present invention provides a process for reducing foam in an aqueous alkyl polyglycoside composition comprising adding an effective amount of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymer of the formula II

Process for reducing foam in an aqueous alkyl polyglycoside composition

A surfactant composition for use in scouring and bleaching textile materials containing: (a) from about 94.0 to about 6.0% by weight of an alkyl polyglycoside having the general formula I
