Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, performed by at least one apparatus (2, 4, 6, 8), the method comprising: obtaining (22) from a user cleaning related information, and determining (42) a composition or a part thereof for an individualized cleaning agent to be produced based on the obtained cleaning related information. The present disclosure also relates to an apparatus, a system, a computer program code and a computer readable storage medium.

Abstract: An active ingredient preparation may be used in steam generators that includes at least one specific carrier material and at least one specific active ingredient. The active ingredient preparation may be used together with steam for steaming textiles. A functional element for a hand-held steam generator for treating textiles may include the active ingredient preparation in or on a carrier element. Finally, a method for steaming textiles may include or consist of providing a steam generator having a functional element, generating steam in the steam generator, bringing the steam into contact with the active ingredient preparation, and then applying the steam, which contains the active ingredient preparation, to a textile to be steamed.

Abstract: A support element for an active ingredient for treating a piece of clothing, the support element being designed to have hot steam flowing therethrough transversely to a main extension plane and to enrich the steam with the active ingredient in the process. The invention is characterized in that the support element has a structure-stabilizing frame extending in the main plane and at least two chambers which are separated from one another, the active ingredient being stored in at least one of the chambers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filament (1,13,24) for printing a washing or cleaning agent product (12,28,31), comprising a filament matrix and at least one washing or cleaning agent component bound in the filament matrix, the filament matrix is formed, at least essentially, by at least one water-soluble plastic and the at least one washing or cleaning agent component is received in the filament matrix.

Abstract: The present invention relates to washing or cleaning agents having improved foaming characteristics under high soil loading, containing at least one anionic surfactant and at least one alkylamidopropyl betaine of formula (R1)C(?O)NH(CH2)3N+(R2)(R3)CH2COO?, where R1 is an alkyl radical having 7 to 9 carbon atoms and R2 and R3 are identical or different alkyl radicals having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, wherein the weight ratio of the alkylamidopropyl betaine defined herein/total amount of anionic surfactant in the washing or cleaning agent is from 0.003 to 0.12, wherein the weight ratio of the total amount of alkylamidopropyl betaine as defined herein/total amount of alkylamidopropyl betaine in the washing or cleaning agent is 0.25 to 1.0, to washing or cleaning methods in which washing or cleaning agents of this kind are used.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for treating stains, which can be carried by a person, comprising a reservoir for receiving a chemical formulation, where the reservoir has an outlet port for dispensing the chemical formulation and where the device comprises a UV radiation source which emits its radiation in a direction essentially away from the device. The invention further relates to a method for treating spots using such a device.
