  • Patent number: 8691741
    Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid detergent composition containing the following components (a) to (c), wherein the total content of components (a) to (c), (a)+(b)+(c), is 40 to 90% by mass; a mass ratio of components (a) to (b), (a)/(b), is 25/75 to 90/10; and a mass ratio [(a)+(b)]/(c), is 95/5 to 70/30: component (a): 15 to 75% by mass of a nonionic surfactant produced by adding p1 mol of ethylene oxide to a compound represented by R—OH (wherein, R represents a hydrocarbon group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms), then adding q1 mol of an alkylene oxide having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, and then adding p2 mol of ethylene oxide, wherein p1 is the number of 3 to 30, q1 is the number of 1 to 5, and p1+p2 is 14 to 50, component (b): anionic surfactant, component (c): cationic surfactant, component (d): 5 to 40% by mass of water-miscible organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 7928048
    Abstract: A softening detergent composition containing (a) 1 to 30% by mass of a clay mineral; (b) 0.5 to 20% by mass of a compound capable of releasing hydrogen peroxide in water; (c) 0.1 to 20% by mass of a compound represented by the following general formula (I) or (II): wherein R1 is an alkyl alkyl group having 4 to 13 carbon atoms; R2 is an alkyl group having 5 to 13 carbon atoms; M is hydrogen atom, or alkali metal atom, alkaline earth metal atom, ammonium or alkanolamine, or a combination of both; and 10 to 60% by mass of a component corresponding to a surfactant as prescribed in JIS K 3362:1998, wherein a mass ratio of the component (b) to the component (c) [component (b)/component (c)] is from 3/4 to 20/1. The softening detergent composition is suitably used as a softening detergent for fibrous manufactured articles such as clothes.
