Surfactant combinations containing C alkyl sulfates wherein less than 10% by weight of the C alkyl sulfates, based on the C alkyl sulfates, have carbon chains with fewer than 14 carbon atoms and C alkyl benzenesulfonates in a weight ratio of 1:10 to 10:1. The combinations are useful in powder and granular as well as liquid washing and cleaning detergents.

Surfactant combination containing alkylsulfate and alkylbenzenesulfonate anionic surfactants

A spray-dried amorphous alkali metal silicate compound which provides multiple-cycle washing performance. The silicate compound has a molar ratio of M O to SiO of 1:1.5 to 1:3.3 wherein M represents an alkali metal. The compound contains 0.5 to less than 30% by weight of anionic surfactant and has an absorption capacity for liquid components which is at least 20% higher than that of the same quantity of the alkali metal silicate compound which is free from anionic surfactant.

Amorphous alkali metal silicate compound

A spray-dried amorphous alkali metal silicate compound which provides multiple-cycle washing performance. The silicate compound has a molar ratio of M,O to SiO,of 1:1.5 to 1:3.3 wherein M represents an alkali metal. The compound contains 0.5 to less than 30% by weight of anionic surfactant and has an absorption capacity for liquid components which is at least 20% higher than that of the same quantity of the alkali metal silicate compound which is free from anionic surfactant.

Spray-dried amorphous alkali metal silicate compound and its use in detergent compositions

A portioned detergent composition in a bag of water-soluble film in which at least 70% by weight of the particles of the detergent composition have particle sizes above 800 .mu.m. The choice of this particular particle size range eliminates otherwise typical production-related problems arising out of the permeability of the bag seams and resulting difficulties.

Preparation for treating washed laundry in a tumble dryer

The invention relates to a liquid mixture of propylene oxide-ethylene oxide derivatives of alcohols corresponding to the following formula

Liquid nonionic surfactant mixtures

Monosodium cyanamide is suspended in chemically and physically stable form in certain, high-boiling ether alcohols corresponding to the following formula ##STR1## The suspensios are an easy-to-handle, meterable form of NaHNCN in which it may be used both as a starting material for chemical syntheses and as an activator for peroxidic bleaches.

Stable suspensions of sodium hydrogen cyanamide

The foaming and detergent power of manual dishwashing detergents gentle to the skin and containing anionic surfactants of the sulfonate or sulfate surfactant type, fatty acid alkanolamides and fatty alkylgucosides are enhanced by using fatty alkyl C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 monoglucosides containing less than 2 glucose units per fatty alkyl group in quantities of from 3 to 20% by weight alkyl sulfate or alkylether sulfate, and from 1 to 15% by weight fatty acid alkanolamide.
