Liquid detergent

Preparation for treating washed laundry in a tumble dryer

A granular, storable bleach mixture suitable for addition to a detergent composition or to a wash liquor comprising a mixture of (a) from 5 to 35% by weight sodium perborate, preferably as monohydrate, (b) from 5 to 30% by weight tetra-acetyl ethylene-diamine and (c) from 90 to 50% by weight of a carrier material. The latter comprises a salt optionally containing water of crystallization or urea or mixtures thereof with anhydrous sodium sulfate, wherein the salt containing water of crystallization should not undergo any phase transformation between 1.degree. C. and 45.degree. C. In addition, the mixture may contain up to 15% of detergent constituents, such as surfactant and sequestering agent. The average particle size of the individual component is from 0.1 to 0.6 mm, less than 1% by weight being larger than 1.6 mm in size.

Storable bleach mixture having improved dissolving power

Heavily soiled fabrics are pretreated before the actual washing process by applying a paste containing a mixture of a nonionic surfactant, at least one nitrogen containing compound selected from certain quaternary ammonium compounds, fatty amine ethoxylates and substituted aminocarboxylic acids, and also an antigel agent and a viscosity regulator to the fabrics and subsequently washing the fabrics in a wash liquor. In one preferred embodiment of the process, a distributing aid trimmed in particular with bristles is used to apply the paste.

Process for the pretreatment of soiled fabrics

A cleaning preparation containing from 2 to 40% by weight ethoxylated fatty alcohol and/or oxoalcohol and from 10 to 90% by weight of a fatty acid ester. In addition, the cleaning preparation may contain water, a monohydric alcohol and liquid hydrocarbons. The cleaning preparation is used for the pretreatment of heavily soiled fabrics before washing.

Cleaning compositions containing an alcohol and fatty acid ester and

A liquid fabric treatment composition comprising aliphatic hydrocarbon, fatty acid, fatty acid salt, fatty acid ester, and a fatty acid condensate of a natural fat and hydroxyalkyl polyamine in aqueous medium. The composition provides washed fabrics treated therewith with softness and smoothness which, particularly, makes large articles of washing easier to iron by hand ironing or by rotary ironing.

Aqueous liquid fabric treatment preparation

Granular, phosphate-reduced, builder-containing detergent compositions containing a combination of natural layer silicates and fatty acid condensates. The fatty acid condensates are prepared by reaction of fatty acid triglycerides and hydroxyalkyl polyamines. The detergent compositions have an excellent softening effect both at low and high washing temperatures. The compositions provide synergistic softening effects, particularly at low temperatures.

Fabric-softening detergent

An after-wash textile treatment preparation containing natural and/or synthetic layer silicates as the softening component in combination with an acidic compound, a disintegrating agent, a filler or a carrier material and, optionally, a binder and fatty acid ester. The preparation is used in the rinse cycle of a laundry washing process.

After-wash treatment preparation based on layer silicate

Aqueous concentrated fabric softeners having particularly good dispersibility in water containing a quaternary ammonium compound, a condensation product of a natural fat and a hydroxyalkyl polyamine, a fatty amine polyglycol ether, a polyglycol ether, a fatty acid ester, and an acid to provide a pH of 3.5 to 5.

Aqueous concentrated fabric softener

Solid fabric-care preparations showing a tendency towards troublesome interactions, or constituents thereof, are coated by application of dissolved or dispersed organic film-forming polymers soluble in alkaline medium. Suitable polymers contain in particular carboxyl groups and are preferably derived from vinyl esters. The carboxyl groups emanate from copolymerized carboxylic acids which make up from about 2 to 10 mole % of the copolymer. The copolymers are best prepared in the form of finely divided dispersions and optionally contain a protective colloid and/or an emulsifier.

Process for coating fabric care preparations

A free-flowing granulate of a powder-form or fine-grained component and a liquid component; the granulate containing at least 20% by weight of the liquid component, is prepared by moving the powder-form or fine-grained component in a mixer-granulator, adding the liquid component while mixing until a moist granulate having a particle size of at most 1.5 mm is obtained, subsequently coarsening the granulate thus obtained with an increase in temperature to a particle size of from 0.4 to 4 mm and optionally coating this coarse granulate with another powder-form and/or fine-grained component at 60.degree. to 90.degree. C. The optionally coated granulate is converted by lowering the treatment temperature into a dry-looking, free-flowing, coarse-grained product, which if desired, may be coated with another powder-form and/or fine-grained material. Despite the high percentage of a liquid component, the granulate thus obtained appears as a dry granulate and is free-flowing.

Agglomeration process including a heating step for making a free-flowing

A powdery activator for per compounds is granulated by, at the same time, mixing it together with nonionic surface-active compounds certain nitrogen-containing compounds and, optionally, the water-soluble salt of an alkane polyphosphonic acid. The granulate thus obtained is powdered with a powdery absorbent and the powdered granulate is sprayed with a liquid binder and dried to a water content of at most 6% by weight. After the addition of a tablet disintegrating agent, the dried granulate is formed by compression under special conditions into tablets having special properties. When added to a wash liquor containing a standard detergent containing a per compound, the tablets improve the removal of fatty/oily stains, pigment-containing soil and bleachable stains.

Process for the production of a washing additive in tablet form

Aqueous, free-flowing concentrates containing a fabric-softening quaternary ammonium compound, an alkali metal soap or corresponding fatty acid, glycerol, and a water-soluble or water-miscible organic solvent. The soap or the corresponding fatty acid makes up from 1/70 to 1/3 of the quantity of fabric-softening quaternary ammonium compound, of which the concentrate contains at least 30% by weight.

Ready-to-use fabric softener concentrate

A washing additive consisting of a bag, filled with a detergent composition, of a polyvinyl-alcohol-based film readily soluble in borate-containing aqueous solutions. The detergent composition is a mixture of a nonionic surfactant, a quaternary ammonium compound containing a long-chain radical, which may be completely or partly replaced by a fatty amine ethoxylate or by a .beta.-aminoalkyl propionic acid derivative, an activator for per compound, an antigel agent, and a viscosity regulator, wherein the mixture has a viscosity of from 1000 to 100,000 mPas for a shear gradient of from 5 to 500 s.sup.-1.
