The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergent power of detergents and cleaning products, in particular with respect to soiling containing oil and/or grease. For this purpose, copolymers including ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid-derived sulfobetaine units and hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylic acid esters are incorporated into the products.

Detergents and cleaning products containing a polymer active ingredient

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 invention relates to an aqueous washing liquor in a device for cleaning soiled textile substrates, containing a plurality of water-insoluble solid particles and a liquid phase which contains a microemulsion, and to a textile washing method using said type of washing liquor.

The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergent power of detergents and cleaning products, in particular with respect to soiling containing oil and/or grease. For this purpose, polymers comprising N-vinyl imidazole-derived betaine units are incorporated into the products.

Detergents and cleaning products including a polymer active ingredient

The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergency of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to soils containing oil and/or grease. This is substantially achieved by the incorporation of polymers which can be obtained by the copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with ethylenically unsaturated compounds that have an amide function, said polymers having an aggregation parameter X, where X&#x3e;1 mN/m.

Polymer active ingredients which improve primary detergent power

The present invention relates to the use of bis-pyranonylmethanes in detergents and cleaning agents to improve the washing or cleaning performance in regard to bleachable stains.

Washing and cleaning agent

The invention relates to surfactants of the formula (I), in which Rstands for &#x2014;H or &#x2014;CH; R, R, R, R, Rindependently stand for &#x2014;H, &#x2014;CH, &#x2014;CHCH, &#x2014;CHCHCH, &#x2014;CH(CH), &#x2014;CHCHCHCH, &#x2014;CHCH(CH), &#x2014;CH(CH)CHCH, &#x2014;C(CH), &#x2014;OH, &#x2014;OCH, &#x2014;OCHCH, &#x2014;OCHCHCH, &#x2014;OCH(CH), a linear or branched alkyl group containing 8 to 20 C atoms, or &#x2014;SOX; Xstands for a monovalent cation or the nth part of an n-valent cation; exactly one radical R, R, R, R, Rstands for &#x2014;SOX; and exactly one radical R, R, R, R, Rstands for a linear or branched alkyl radical containing 8 to 20 C atoms.

Surfactants with lower CMC, and surfactant systems and detergents containing said surfactants

The primary washing power of detergents and cleaning agents, particularly with regard to protein-containing soiling, was to be improved. This was achieved substantially by incorporating a combination of polyalkoxylated polyamine with alkoxylated C-Calcohol having an average alkoxylation degree in the range from 1 to 5.

Methods and apparatus are provided for containing and dispensing a particulate detergent composition. The apparatus includes a transparent container. The transparent container holds a solid state particulate detergent composition. The apparatus also includes a solid state particulate detergent composition. The solid state particulate detergent composition includes a number of surfactants.
