Abstract

Detergent compositions comprising one or more surfactants and a polyetheramine composition are disclosed. The polyetheramine composition comprises a compound having a polyglycerol core and an aminoalkyl group or an oxidized aminoalkyl group that is bonded directly or indirectly to each available oxygen of the polyglycerol core. Optionally, oxyalkylene groups link available oxygens of the polyglycerol core to the aminoalkyl or oxidized aminoalkyl groups. Methods for laundering textile articles and other cleaning methods using the detergent compositions are also disclosed. The polyetheramines can use diglycerol, a convenient plant-based starter. Laundry detergents comprising the polyetheramines provide enhanced cold-water cleaning performance for greasy or oily stains compared with similar detergents formulated without the polyetheramines.
