Abstract: A device for installation on an inner circumferential surface-of a washing machine drum, comprising a housing, a voltage source and at least one electrode which is connected to the positive terminal of the voltage source and acts as an anode, it being possible for a washing liquor to flow through the device and said device comprising at least one inlet for introducing washing liquor into the device and at least one outlet for discharging washing liquor from the device. The inlet and the outlet are arranged on the device such that, when the device is in use position, said inlet and outlet are directly above the inner circumferential surface of the washing machine drum and the inlet is in a plane of which the surface normal extends. Use of this device and a related method are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present application is directed to water and surfactant-containing liquid washing or cleaning agents containing a hydrophobic precursor compound in microemulsified form, from which a peroxycarboxylic acid or the salt thereof can be released by UV radiation. Methods for washing textiles and cleaning hard surfaces using such precursor compounds are also included.

Abstract: A structured liquid washing agent or cleaning agent with a flow limit, containing a surfactant system of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and co-surfactants, inorganic salt and an amphiphilic compound, as well as a washing method in which the washing agent or cleaning according to the invention is used, and corresponding uses.

Abstract: Particulate solids with an average particle diameter X50,3 of 0.01 mm to 3 mm, containing a total quantity of 30 to 100 wt. %, based on the total weight, of at least one polyester, containing at least one structural unit of the formula (I) and at least one structural unit of the formula (II), in which a and c each represents a number from 1 to 200 independently of each other. R2, R5, and R6 each represents hydrogen or a C1-C18 n-alkyl group or a C3-C18 isoalkyl group independently of one another. R7 represents a linear or branched C1-C30 alkyl group or a linear or branched C2-C30 alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group with 5 to 9 carbon atoms, a C6-C30 aryl group, or a C6-C30 arylalkyl group. The particulate solids can be suspended in liquid, water-containing surfactant compositions in a stable manner.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of washing textiles in a washing machine having a washing chamber for accommodating a washing liquid and textiles to be cleaned and having an activating unit possessing an inlet or introduction of washing liquid from the washing chamber into the activating unit and possessing an outlet for guiding washing liquid out of the activating unit into the washing chamber, and additionally having at least one means of activation suitable for setting in motion a process for forming free radicals in the washing liquid within the activating unit, wherein the washing liquid comprises an organic bleach booster compound, especially a zwitterionic 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium derivative.

Abstract: The invention relates to a washing machine (1) with a washing chamber (2) for receiving a washing liquid and textiles to be cleaned and with a discoloration reservoir (3) which has an inlet (4) for introducing washing liquid from the washing chamber (2) into the discoloration reservoir (3) and an outlet (5) for discharging washing liquid from the discoloration reservoir (3) into the washing chamber (2), and which moreover has at least one activation module, such as, for example, a UV radiation source or an electrode arrangement which is suitable for initiating, within the discoloration reservoir (3), a process for forming free radicals in the washing liquid. Furthermore, a method for washing textiles in such a washing machine is also specified.

Abstract: An aqueous liquid detergent is proposed, containing a surfactant and optionally additional conventional constituents, said agent containing sulfoethyl cellulose having a substitution rate of 0.3 to 0.9 and/or the salt thereof.

Abstract: Raw materials that constitute reaction products of two compounds (1) and (2) having the general formulas (1) and (2), wherein the first compound (1) having the general formula (1): R1—(CH2)a—(CHR2)b—(CR32)c—(CHR4)d—(CH2)e—R5, and the second compound (2) has the general formula (2): Y-A-Si(OR1)r(R2)3-r, exhibit anti-wrinkle properties. They are used in laundry detergents, fabric softeners or textile treatment compositions that are applied to the textile outside a washing machine or a dryer.
