Abstract: The present invention relates to cleaners for hard surfaces which comprise surfactants and also phosphoric acid esters of a polyether-modified alkyl alcohol, and to the method of use thereof for cleaning hard surfaces and for generating shine on a hard surface.

Abstract: One- or multi-phase non-solid concentrated products, which are capable of producing or maintaining a Winsor type 2 microemulsion system upon dilution in a short liquor technology washing machine, show improved performance for fat and oil-containing stains when used in novel methods in which various Winsor types are passed through starting from Winsor type 2.

Abstract: 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° 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.

Abstract: A surfactant-containing aqueous antimicrobially effective cleaning agent for hard surfaces includes at least one amphoteric polymer, a quaternary ammonium compound and formic acid. The agent may be used for the cleaning and/or antimicrobial treatment of hard surfaces, in particular in damp rooms such as bathrooms.
