Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for washing textiles in a washing machine that comprises a washing chamber for receiving a washing liquid and textiles to be cleaned, as well as an activation device which has an inlet for supplying washing liquid from the washing chamber into said activation device and an outlet for conducting washing liquid out of the activation device and into said washing chamber, and which also comprises at least one activation agent that is suitable for triggering a process for the formation of free radicals in the washing liquid, within said activation device, said washing liquid containing an acylhydrazone.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of specific laccases as dye transfer-inhibiting active substances during the washing of textiles, and to detergents containing said laccases.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides improved dye transfer inhibition in the washing of textiles by the use of urea derivatives comprising sulfonic or carboxylic acid groups.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfonic acids in detergents and cleaning agents for improving the washing or cleaning performance with respect to bleachable stains.

Abstract: The present invention improves greying inhibition in the washing of textiles by the use of urea derivatives comprising sulfonic or carboxylic acid groups.

Abstract: The present invention relates to amphiphilic star-like polyether. The core molecule is an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, which is further alkoxylated, first with ethylene oxide or combinations of ethylene oxide and C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, and/or glycidol, and then with a C3-C20 alkylene oxide, preferably propylene oxide, or combination of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, then optionally anionically modified. The resulting amphiphilic star-like polyether thus has an inner core based on an aliphatic hyperbranched polyether polyol, an inner shell predominantly containing polyethylene oxide units, the inner shell comprising at least 3 ethylene oxide units and an outer shell predominantly containing polypropylene oxide units, the outer shell comprising at least 3 propylene oxide units. They optionally contain anionic groups instead of hydroxyl groups on the periphery of the macromolecule.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the cleaning power of washing and cleaning agents, especially with regards to bleachable stains, while avoiding any damage to the textile treated with said washing and cleaning agents. This is achieved by an aqueous washing liquid in a device for cleaning textile substrates, containing a plurality of water in-soluble solid particles and a mediator compound, which can produce an oxidizing bleaching agent, in an electrochemical cell using electric voltage in the washing liquid.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the cleaning power of washing and cleaning agents, especially with regard to bleachable stains, while avoiding any damage to the textile treated with said washing and cleaning agents. This is substantially achieved by using an electrolytically bleachable species generated by a redox reaction from an anionically substituted 1-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxide, or (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yl)oxyl.

Abstract: The color protection properties of detergents when used to wash colored textiles is to be improved. This is substantially achieved in that polymers are used which are molecularly imprinted using dyes.

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.

Abstract: It is possible to prevent or at least mitigate discoloration of plastics tableware during machine dishwashing by using amphiphilic block copolymers of -An-Bm- type, where A represents the hydrophilic monomer unit of the hydrophilic block An and B represents the hydrophobic monomer unit of the hydrophobic block Bm and a diene serves as monomer for the hydrophobic monomer unit B.
