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 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 application describes the use of porous polyamide particles which have a volume-weighted median particle size of 1 to 50 &#x3bc;m, an oil absorption capacity of at least 60 g/100 g, and a specific BET surface area (as specified in DIN 66131) of 1 to 20 m/g, for removing greasy stains from textile surfaces in a laundry detergent or cleaning agent which is used in a laundry or cleaning process.

Removal of greasy stains comprising porous polyamide particles

The invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent, wherein use thereof generates hydrogel layers surfaces, comprising a hydrogel former having a molecular weight less than 3500 g/Mol, wherein the hydrogel former is water-soluble at concentrations below the minimum gel formation concentration, wherein the minimum gel formation concentration is the concentration at which a yield point of at least 0.05 Pa is formed in a binary solution of water and hydrogel former at T=25&#xb0; C., and wherein said minimum gel formation concentration lies below 2 wt % of hydrogel former, relative to the system consisting of water and hydrogel former. The washing or cleaning agents according to the invention enable the hydrophiliation of surfaces, and the specific and retarded releasing of active substances embedded in the hydrogel layers, such as aromatic substances or antimicrobial active substances, for example.
