Abstract: The aim of the invention is to diminish the odor, often perceived as unpleasant, that is left behind on human skin, in particular on the hands as a result of contact with agents containing chlorine bleach after use of the agent. This was achieved by the use of odorants selected from the group comprising diphenylmethane, diphenyl oxide, 2-methyl naphtyl ether, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The stability of aqueous, liquid detergents containing hypochlorite and brighteners is achieved by the use of a specific complexing agent.

Abstract: Improvement in the gentleness of fabric treatment in the laundering of textiles with hypochlorite bleaches. This is accomplished with a liquid, aqueous hypochlorite bleach comprising polyolefin wax, chelating agent(s), surfactant and an odorant chosen from diphenylmethane, diphenyl oxide, 2-methyl naphthyl ether and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The improvement of shelf stability in hypochlorite-containing aqueous liquid washing and/or cleaning agents that contain colored metal pigment is achieved by the use of an alkali iodide and a sterically hindered amine.

Abstract: The improvement of shelf stability in hypochlorite-containing aqueous liquid washing and/or cleaning agents that contain colored metal pigment is achieved by the use of a specific aromatic fragrance.

Abstract: The stability of aqueous, liquid detergents containing hypochlorite and brighteners is achieved by the use of a specific complexing agent.

Abstract: The improvement of the storage stability of aqueous, liquid detergents containing hypochlorite and brighteners is achieved by the use of cyclodextrin.

Abstract: A process for reducing the corrosive action of hypochlorite on metal surfaces in hypochlorite-containing aqueous liquid cleaning agents by the use of a combination of alkali hydroxide, alkali silicate, and alkyl(alkoxy)n sulfate, where n=0.5 to 10.
