Abstract: An aerosol composition includes at least one setting active substance, and at least one propellant having at least one compound having 3 to 10 carbon atoms in accordance with formula (I), in which the residues R1, R2, R3, and R4 signify, mutually independently, a hydrogen atom, a bromine atom, a fluorine atom, or a (C1 to C6) alkyl group substituted with at least one fluorine atom, or two of the residues R1, R2, R3, and R4 form a five- or six-membered ring, with the provision that: at least one of the residues R1, R2, R3, or R4 denotes a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom, and at least one of the residues R1, R2, R3, or R4 denotes a (C1 to C6) alkyl group substituted with at least one fluorine atom, or at least two of the residues R1, R2, R3, and R4 form a five- or six-membered ring.

Abstract: Textile treatment agents and/or capsules comprising a polymer having antiadhesive action against microorganisms which adhere to a textile substrate, methods of treating textile substrates therewith and the textile so treated, wherein the polymer comprises a polymeric structural element selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polysaccharides, polyethers, polyurethanes, polyureas, polyamides, and heteropolymers thereof.

Abstract: Described herein are devices for improving the rinse effect in machine dishwashers. In one embodiment, the device comprises a means of fixing an amount of liquor comprising rinse surfactant of the main wash cycle, wherein the amount of liquor is sufficient to bring about a rinse effect, whereby the liquor is transported into a subsequent rinse cycle. Also described are methods and kits for achieving a rinse effect in dishwashers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dosed liquid washing and cleaning agent composition, comprising a non-aqueous matrix and solid particles dispersed therein, in a bag made from a water-soluble film. Whereby at least 70 wt. % of the particles of the washing and cleaning agent composition comprise particle sizes below 200 &mgr;m. By means of the selection of said particle size range for the suspended particles, normally occurring production problems of leakage of the bag seams and the resulting problems may be avoided.
