Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polymers comprising carboxyl groups in combination with bivalent cations for producing a protective layer on a textile sheet material and to textile treatment agents, in particular washing and cleaning agents containing said polymers in a suitable form of administration, in order to enable the formation of a protective layer on textile sheet materials.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to reduce the damage to cellulosic material during the bleaching treatment of cellulosic material by using catalysts with bleaching activity, without significantly impacting the bleaching performance in the process. This was achieved largely by way of a method for bleaching cellulosic material in the presence of a peroxygen-containing bleaching agent and a bleach-boosting transition metal complex, which is carried out in the presence of spherical polyelectrolyte brushes. The spherical polyelectrolyte brushes preferably contain the transition metal complex in a colloidally bound manner.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is reduce the damage to material containing cellulose during the bleaching thereof, by using bleaching catalysts, without significantly affecting the bleaching performance. This is achieved essentially by a method for the bleach treatment of material containing cellulose in the presence of a bleaching agent containing peroxygen and a bleach-enhancing transition metal complex, said method being carried out in the presence of a saccharide polymer carrying carboxy groups.

Abstract: An agent, and a method that uses the agent, reduces the damage to material containing cellulose during the bleaching thereof, by using a bleaching agent containing peroxygen, a bleach-enhancing transition metal complex, and creatine.

Abstract: The invention discloses a laundry article used for both cleaning and conditioning fabrics comprising a water-insoluble nonwoven substrate and coated thereon into at least one zone each a detergent composition and a fabric conditioning composition. The fabric conditioning composition comprises a quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant, an alkoxylated fatty alcohol and a fatty acid.

Abstract: Reduction of damage to textiles caused when bleach active catalysts are used when washing the textiles, without influencing bleaching performance. The invention relates to a method for washing textiles in the presence of a peroxygenated bleaching agent and a bleach boosting transition metal complex, wherein the method is carried out when water hardness is between 0° dH-3° dH.

Abstract: A shelf-stable liquid agent or detergent containing a bleaching agent in the form of a finely particulate bleaching agent encapsulated in a crosslinkable polymer matrix.

Abstract: The present application relates to granulates of sensitive washing- or cleaning-agent ingredients. These granulates are suitable in particular for use in liquid or gelled, in particular water-containing washing or cleaning agents. The present invention further relates to methods for manufacturing such granulates, to washing and cleaning agents that contain such granulates, and to the use of suitable components for the manufacture of such granulates.
