Abstract: The primary washing power of detergents and cleaning agents, particularly with regard to protein-containing soiling, was to be improved. This was achieved substantially by incorporating a combination of polyalkoxylated polyamine with alkoxylated C8-C22 alcohol having an average alkoxylation degree in the range from 1 to 5.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for containing and dispensing a particulate detergent composition. The apparatus includes a transparent container. The transparent container holds a solid state particulate detergent composition. The apparatus also includes a solid state particulate detergent composition. The solid state particulate detergent composition includes a number of surfactants.

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 present invention relates to the use of bis-pyranonylmethanes in detergents and cleaning agents to improve the washing or cleaning performance in regard to bleachable stains.

The transparent container holds a solid state particulate detergent composition. The apparatus also includes a solid state particulate detergent composition. The solid state particulate detergent composition includes a number of surfactants.

Abstract: The application describes the use of porous polyamide particles which have a volume-weighted median particle size of 1 to 50 ?m, an oil absorption capacity of at least 60 g/100 g, and a specific BET surface area (as specified in DIN 66131) of 1 to 20 m2/g, for removing greasy stains from textile surfaces in a laundry detergent or cleaning agent which is used in a laundry or cleaning process.

Abstract: The invention relates to surfactants of the formula (I), in which R1 stands for —H or —CH3; R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 independently stand for —H, —CH3, —CH2CH3, —CH2CH2CH3, —CH(CH3)2, —CH2CH2CH2CH3, —CH2CH(CH3)2, —CH(CH3)CH2CH3, —C(CH3)3, —OH, —OCH3, —OCH2CH3, —OCH2CH2CH3, —OCH(CH3)2, a linear or branched alkyl group containing 8 to 20 C atoms, or —SO3?X+; X+ stands for a monovalent cation or the nth part of an n-valent cation; exactly one radical R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 stands for —SO3?X+; and exactly one radical R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 stands for a linear or branched alkyl radical containing 8 to 20 C atoms.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergency of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to soils containing oil and/or grease. This is substantially achieved by the incorporation of branched polymers having an aggregation parameter Xag, where Xag>1 mN/m.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergency of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to soils containing oil and/or grease. This is substantially achieved by the incorporation of polymers which can be obtained by the copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with ethylenically unsaturated compounds that have an amide function, said polymers having an aggregation parameter Xag, where Xag>1 mN/m.

Abstract: The application describes the use of porous polyamide particles which have—a volume-weighted median particle size of 1 to 50 ?m,—an oil absorption capacity of at least 60 g/100 g, and—a specific BET surface area (as specified in DIN 66131) of 1 to 20 m2/g, for removing greasy stains from textile surfaces in a laundry detergent or cleaning agent which is used in a laundry or cleaning process.

Abstract: A detergent or cleaning agent and method for removing soils from textiles or hard surfaces, in particular against soils from preparations containing fruit, comprising polyalkoxylated polyamines obtained by reacting polyamines with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, wherein the content of propylene oxide in the total quantity of the alkylene oxide is 2 mol-% to 18 mol-%.
