Phosphate-free dishwasher detergents which contain a builder, bleaching agents, a nonionic surfactant, and also a) a copolymer comprising i) sulfonic acid group-containing monomers, ii) further ionic and/or nonionic monomers, b) methyl glycine diacetic acid. The detergents according to the invention have good cleaning and rinsing results which are comparable to those of phosphate-containing dishwasher detergents or even outdo them.

Detergents

The invention relates to the use of salts of branched fatty acids for catalyzing the reaction between star-shaped alcohols and isocyanates.

Use of salts of branched fatty acids as catalysts for converting star-shaped alcohols using isocyanates

A toilet cleaner composition containing perfume, at least one non-ionic surfactant, at least one alkylbenzene sulfonate, and at least one olefin sulfonate, is sufficiently malleable that it may be shaped into rotationally symmetrical toilet cleaner blocks, and in particular into spherical blocks, using a rolling machine or a press. The resulting rotationally-symmetrical toilet cleaner block may be part of a toilet cleaning system comprising at least one toilet cleaner block and at least one dispenser device for use in a toilet.

Spherical toilet cleaner blocks, method for the production thereof, and cleaning holder comprising spherical toilet cleaner blocks

The invention provides improvements in the primary detergency of detergents for washing textiles, particularly against oily stains and/or stains containing fat. These improvements are realized through the use of certain polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds or precursor compounds usable in the production thereof having certain reactive groups.

Detergent having an active ingredient that improves the primary detergency

The invention provides improvements in the color protection properties of detergents and cleaning agents during their utilization for washing or cleaning colored textile fabrics. Specific polycarbonate-, polyurethane- and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds or a precursor compound thereof containing specific reactive groups, which can be used for the production of the polycarbonate-, polyurethane- and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds, are utilized.

Color-protecting detergents or cleaning agents

An automatic dishwashing agent includes builder(s), enzyme(s) and a) a nonionic surfactant A of the general formula RO(AlkO)M(OAlk)OR, in which Rand Rmutually independently denote a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, optionally hydroxylated alkyl residue with 4 to 22 carbon atoms; Alk denotes a branched or unbranched alkyl residue with 2 to 4 carbon atoms; x and y mutually independently denote values between 1 and 70; and M denotes an alkyl residue from the group CH, CHR, CRR, CHCHRand CHRCHR, with Rand Rmutually independently denoting a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated alkyl residue with 1 to 18 carbon atoms; b) a nonionic surfactant B which differs from the nonionic surfactant A; and c) an anionic copolymer C. The agent imparts an improved drying and rinsing result.

Automatic dishwashing agent

The invention relates to a detergent which contains a surfactant and optionally further conventional additives of detergents and cleaning agents, the detergent comprising an anti-grey polycarbonate-, polyurethane- and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compound or a precursor compound thereof containing specific reactive groups, which can be used for the production thereof.

Anti-grey detergent comprising a cyclic carbonate or urea

The invention relates to machine dishwashing agents containing specific polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds or precursor compounds thereof of the reactive cyclic carbonate and urea type which help to avoid the formation of water spots and filming after the use of the agents and accelerate the drying of dishes.

Cleaning agents comprising a cyclic carbonate

A phosphate-free dishwasher detergent which contains a builder, bleaching agents, and also a) a copolymer comprising i) monomers from the group of mono- or polyunsaturated carboxylic acids; ii) monomers of general formula R(R)C&#x2550;C(R)&#x2014;X&#x2014;R; and iii) optionally further monomers, and b) a nonionic surfactant of general formula R&#x2014;CH(OH)CHO-(AO)-(A'O)-(A&#x2033;O)-(A&#x2032;&#x2033;O)&#x2014;R. The detergent has good cleaning and rinsing results which are comparable to those of phosphate-containing dishwasher detergents or even outdo them.

Detergent comprising a builder, a bleaching agent, and a copolymer

Phosphate-free automatic dishwashing agents are disclosed that comprise (a) builder; (b) bleaching agent; (c) hydrophobically modified copolymer comprising at least one of mono- and polyunsaturated sulfonic acid monomers; (d) non-hydrophobically modified copolymer comprising at least one of mono- and polyunsaturated sulfonic acids; and (e) nonionic surfactant. The agents in accordance with the present invention are distinguished by excellent film deposition inhibition along with good washing and rinsing performance.

Cleaning agents

The invention relates to the use of polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds, or precursor compounds thereof containing specific reactive groups, in the treatment of hard surfaces. The treated surface is protected from soiling and/or the removal of soil from the surface is facilitated.

Product for treating hard surfaces

Anti-grey detergent comprising a polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compound

Cleaning agents comprising a polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compound

An aqueous liquid laundry detergent containing methylcarboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of methylation in the range from 0.01 to 0.3, surfactant, and at least one typical ingredient of laundry detergents. The detergent inhibits graying of textile fabrics during the washing of the fabrics.

Graying-inhibiting liquid washing composition

Phosphate-free dishwasher detergents which contain a builder, bleaching agents, a nonionic surfactant, and also a) a copolymer comprising i) sulfonic acid group-containing monomers, ii) further ionic and/or nonionic monomer, and b) phosphonate. The detergents have good scale-inhibiting, cleaning and rinsing results which are comparable to those of phosphate-containing dishwasher detergents or even outdo them.
