A multi-component detergent, including at least two components, that is contained in a container having at least two chambers, wherein a first component Kis a first liquid composition, containing at least one catechol metal complex compound of formula (I) and at least one free catechol compound of formula (II) or the salt thereof with the proviso that the catechol compound of formula (II) and the salt thereof are different from the compounds of formula (I), and a second component Kis a second liquid composition, containing at least one surfactant. The present invention further relates to the use of the multi-component detergent for removing bleachable stains and a method for washing textiles using the multi-component detergent.

Multi-component detergent comprising catechol metal complex

Catechol metal complex compounds of formula (I) are colored and can be used to give color to surfactant compositions. Detergents containing these catechol metal complex compounds do not stain the textile even after repeated use.

Detergent composition with catechol metal complex compound

The present invention relates to the use of 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfonic acids in detergents and cleaning agents for improving the washing or cleaning performance with respect to bleachable stains.

Detergents and cleaning agents having improved performance using hydroxy-5-quinoline sulfonic acid

The present invention relates to amphiphilic star-like polyether. The core molecule is an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, which is further alkoxylated, first with ethylene oxide or combinations of ethylene oxide and C-Calkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, and/or glycidol, and then with a C-Calkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, or combination of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, then optionally anionically modified. The resulting amphiphilic star-like polyether thus has an inner core based on an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, an inner shell predominantly containing polyethylene oxide units, the inner shell comprising at least 3 ethylene oxide units and an outer shell predominantly containing polypropylene oxide units, the outer shell comprising at least 3 propylene oxide units. They optionally contain anionic groups instead of hydroxyl groups on the periphery of the macromolecule. The invention further relates to their use as additive in laundry formulations and to their manufacturing process.

Compositions and methods to improve the cleaning performance of washing agents during laundering of textiles are disclosed. Compositions described use 6-desoxy-6-amino-celluloses. Methods for laundering textiles, in which a detergent and a soil release active ingredient are used in the form of a cellulose derivative as defined above, are also included. These methods can be performed manually or as appropriate with the aid of a conventional domestic washing machine.

6-desoxy-6-amino-celluloses as soil release agents

The cleaning performance of washing and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to bleachable stains, was to be intensified without resulting in damage, in the context of use, to the textile treated therewith. This was achieved substantially by employing a bleaching-active species generated electrolytically from an organic mediator compound using a redox reaction.

Washing or cleaning agent with electrochemically activatable mediator compound

The aim of the invention is to improve the cleaning power of washing and cleaning agents, especially with regard to bleachable stains, while avoiding any damage to the textile treated with said washing and cleaning agents. This is substantially achieved by using an electrolytically bleachable species generated by a redox reaction from an anionically substituted 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide, or (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yl)oxyl.

Washing or cleaning agents with electrochemically activatable anionic mediator compounds

The color protection properties of detergents when used to wash colored textiles is to be improved. This is substantially achieved in that polymers are used which are molecularly imprinted using dyes.

Color-protecting detergent

An aqueous liquid detergent is proposed, containing a surfactant and optionally additional conventional constituents, said agent containing sulfoethyl cellulose having a substitution rate of 0.3 to 0.9 and/or the salt thereof.

Anti-greying detergent

It is possible to prevent or at least mitigate discoloration of plastics tableware during machine dishwashing by using amphiphilic block copolymers of -A-B- type, where A represents the hydrophilic monomer unit of the hydrophilic block Aand B represents the hydrophobic monomer unit of the hydrophobic block Band a diene serves as monomer for the hydrophobic monomer unit B.

Amphiphilic block copolymers and machine dishwashing detergents containing these

The present invention relates to the use of oligohydroxybenzoic acid derivatives in washing and cleaning agents in order to improve washing or cleaning performance with respect to bleachable stains.

Washing and cleaning compositions with improved performance

The present invention improves dye transfer inhibition in the washing of textiles by the use of urea derivatives comprising sulfonic or carboxylic acid groups.

Colour protection detergent

The present invention improves dye transfer inhibition in the washing of textiles by the use of SOM substituted urea derivatives of aromatic amines.
