  • Publication number: 20090170744
    Abstract: Washing, cleaning, and care-providing agents that comprise a light-active bleaching-agent system based on titanium dioxide. The titanium dioxide is by preference a titanium dioxide modified with carbon. The washing, cleaning, and care-providing agents exert a good cleaning effect in the context of textile treatment, the treatment of hard surfaces, cosmetic treatment of the human body, and the improvement of (indoor) air, and have a low impact on the treated substrates.
