Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The application describes a liquid washing or cleaning agent comprising a) an alkoxylated oxo alcohol with 7 or 8 alkoxy units and b) a polymer with a soil detachment capacity. The liquid washing or cleaning agent exhibits elevated cleaning performance, in particular on greasy soiling, and improved graying inhibition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A liquid washing or cleaning agent comprising a) a C 13 -C 15 alkoxylated oxo alcohol with 8 alkoxy units and b) a polymer with a soil detachment capacity, wherein the polymer with a soil detachment capacity is a polyester of dicarboxylic acid and a diol and wherein the solid detachment capacity is an end group-terminated polyester prepared form terephthalic acid, polyethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol, c) a C 12 -C 18 fatty acid; and d) a C 10 -C 13 alkylbenzene sulfonic acid, wherein the liquid washing or cleaning agent is packaged in a water-soluble covering. 2. The liquid washing or cleaning agent according to claim 1 , wherein, the washing or cleaning agent contains up to 10% water relative to the entire washing or cleaning agent. 3. The liquid washing or cleaning agent according to claim 1 , wherein the washing or cleaning agent further contains an amine-neutralized anionic surfactant. 4. A method of increasing cleaning performance of greasy soiled cloth, comprising: washing the greasy soiled cloth in water in the presence of a liquid washing or cleaning agent comprising a polymer with a soil detachment capacity diol, wherein the solid detachment capacity is an end group-terminated polyester prepared form terephthalic acid, polyethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol, an C 13 -C 15 alkoxylated oxo alcohol with 8 alkoxy units a C 12 -C 18 fatty acid; and a C 10 -C 13 alkylbenzene sulfonic acid all in a liquid washing or cleaning agent, wherein the polymer with a soil detachment capacity is a polyester of dicarboxylic acid and a diol and wherein the washing or cleaning agent is packaged in a water-soluble covering. 5. A method of increasing graying inhibition of a cloth, comprising washing the cloth in water in the presence of a liquid washing or cleaning agent comprising a polymer with a soil detachment capacity wherein the solid detachment capacity is an end group-terminated polyester prepared form terephthalic acid, polyethylene glycol and 1,2-propylene glycol, an C 13 -C 15 alkoxylated oxo alcohol with 8 alkoxy units a C 12 -C 18 fatty acid; and a C 10 -C 13 alkylbenzene sulfonic acid all in a liquid washing or cleaning agent, wherein the polymer with a soil detachment capacity is a polyester of dicarboxylic acid and a diol and wherein the washing or cleaning agent is packaged in a water-soluble covering.
