Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which form, under perhydrolysis conditions, certain cationic organic peracids, to the use of said compounds for activating peroxygen compounds in the context of bleaching stains when washing textiles and cleaning hard surfaces, and to washing and cleaning agents that contain said compounds.

Abstract: A dosing system and method for dispensing a chemical composition into a tank of a toilet. The system includes a sensor obtaining a parameter representative of an environment of the toilet. The dosing system further includes a non-transitory control unit receiving the parameter and generating an activation signal for triggering dispensing of an amount of the chemical composition into the tank based on the parameter. The system further includes a dosing device inserted inside the tank. The dosing device has a cavity containing the chemical composition and a dispensing mechanism coupled with the cavity. The dispensing mechanism receives the activation signal and dispenses the amount of chemical composition into the tank upon reception of the at least one activation signal.

Abstract: The oxidizing and bleaching effect of peroxygen compounds at low temperatures was to be improved. This was substantially achieved through the use of organic peroxoacids under perhydrolysis conditions with compounds which form cationic groups and in which a quaternary nitrogen atom is part of a heterocyclic 5-membered functional group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of substituted bis-4H-pyranonyl compounds in which the 4H-pyranonyl units are combined with heteroalkyl groups, in detergents and cleaning agents, for improving detergent or cleaning performance with respect to bleachable stains.

Abstract: A method of forming a textile treatment agent may include emulsifying at least one cationically modified prepolymer into an aqueous phase, and cross-linking the emulsified prepolymer to form the dispersion having the at least one cationically modified polyurethane. The cationically modified polyurethane dispersions may be used as textile softeners, as textile treatment agents, and the like.

Abstract: Pro-fragrances may have the formula (I) as disclosed herein. Compositions may include the pro-fragrances, such as a laundry product, a home care product, and an insect repellant. A method for preparing the compound of formula (I) are also disclosed. Such pro-fragrances increase the longlastingness of a fragrance, the stability of a fragrance, and the adhesion of a fragrance.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a composition suitable for cleaning cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils, which has improved efficacy on proteinaceous soils. Detergent compositions having metal complexes with certain salicylidene ligands solve this problem.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a detergent, especially a dishwashing detergent, with improved detergency. Detergent compositions having metal complexes with certain salicylidene ligands, which may be created in situ, solve this problem.

Abstract: A composition suitable for cleaning cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils, which has improved efficacy on proteinaceous soils. Detergent compositions having metal complexes with certain di- or oligoamine derivatives as ligands solve this problem.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the field of pro-fragrances used in detergents and cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air fresheners, for example. The invention relates to particular cyclic ketals used as pro-fragrances. The invention also relates to detergents and cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air fresheners containing ketals of the type. The invention further relates to a method for creating a long-lasting fragrance on surfaces and for repelling insects.

Abstract: A method for use of substituted dihydroxyterephthalic acid amides in detergents and cleaning agents, for improving detergent or cleaning performance with respect to bleachable stains.

Abstract: Fragrance precursor compounds of the formula (I) may be derived from hydrazides and fragrance aldehydes and ketones. The fragrance precursor compounds may be used in composition having washing or cleaning agents, cosmetic agents and air care agents. A method for long-lasting fragrancing of surfaces using the fragrance precursor compounds and agents is also disclosed.

Abstract: A liquid aqueous composition comprises or consists of a) at least one specific carbohydrate or a derivative thereof and b) at least one surfactant. A detergent or cleaner may include the liquid aqueous composition. In addition, the use of the liquid, aqueous composition as a detergent or cleaner for an improved stain removal and the use of the specific carbohydrate or a derivative thereof as a stain remover is also disclosed.

Abstract: A coated textile laundry article may include a water-insoluble textile substrate that is exposed to at least one modified or unmodified polyorganosiloxane and/or at least one amorphous silicon dioxide. Furthermore, the coated textile laundry article may be used for washing laundry and/or to prevent graying of laundry. A method for machine or manual washing of laundry using the coated textile laundry article and a method for its preparation is also described.

Abstract: A method for preparing an enone compound of formula (I) is disclosed. Furthermore, the enone compound of formula (I) obtained by the method may be used alone, or in combination with a washing agent, a cleaning agent, an insect repellant agent, a pharmaceutical agent, a fragrance, a pro-fragrance, or combinations thereof.
