Abstract: The invention provides improvements in the primary detergency of detergents for washing textiles, particularly against oily stains and/or stains containing fat. These improvements are realized through the use of certain polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds or precursor compounds usable in the production thereof having certain reactive groups.

Abstract: The invention provides improvements in the color protection properties of detergents and cleaning agents during their utilization for washing or cleaning colored textile fabrics. Specific polycarbonate-, polyurethane- and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds or a precursor compound thereof containing specific reactive groups, which can be used for the production of the polycarbonate-, polyurethane- and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds, are utilized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detergent which contains a surfactant and optionally further conventional additives of detergents and cleaning agents, the detergent comprising an anti-grey polycarbonate-, polyurethane- and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compound or a precursor compound thereof containing specific reactive groups, which can be used for the production thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of polycarbonate-, polyurethane-, and/or polyurea-polyorganosiloxane compounds, or precursor compounds thereof containing specific reactive groups, in the treatment of hard surfaces. The treated surface is protected from soiling and/or the removal of soil from the surface is facilitated.

Abstract: An agent, and a method that uses the agent, reduces the damage to material containing cellulose during the bleaching thereof, by using a bleaching agent containing peroxygen, a bleach-enhancing transition metal complex, and creatine.

Abstract: Reduction of damage to textiles caused when bleach active catalysts are used when washing the textiles, without influencing bleaching performance. The invention relates to a method for washing textiles in the presence of a peroxygenated bleaching agent and a bleach boosting transition metal complex, wherein the method is carried out when water hardness is between 0° dH-3° dH.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a product for treating hard surfaces. The product comprises compounds of general formula I or II and polymers that are obtainable by reacting the compounds with polymeric substrates, the substrates having functional groups that are selected from hydroxy groups, primary and secondary amino groups. The treated surface is protected from soiling and/or soil release from the surface is facilitated.

Abstract: A pourable, storage-stable manual dishwashing detergent is provided. The detergent contains at least 45 percent sodium bicarbonate with a mean particle diameter of at least 150 micrometers. The sodium bicarbonate is combined with an anionic surfactant, an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant an electrolyte and optionally a solvent, to form the detergent. The detergent of the invention has good pouring properties and excellent cleaning performance against dried-on and burnt-on soil.
