Abstract

The present invention relates generally to cleaning compositions and, more specifically, to cleaning compositions containing a polyetheramine, a soil release polymer, and a carboxymethylceullulose, which is suitable for removal of stains from soiled materials.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cleaning composition comprising:
from about 1% to about 70% by weight of a surfactant system;
from about 0.01% to about 10.0% by weight of a soil release polymer;
from about 0.1% to about 10% of a carboxymethylcellulose; and
from about 0.1% to about 10% of a polyetheramine of Formula (I), Formula (II), or a mixture thereof:

wherein each of R 1 -R 12 is independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, or arylalkyl, wherein at least one of R 1 -R 6 and at least one of R 7 -R 12 is different from H,
each of A 1 -A 9 is independently selected from linear or branched alkylenes having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, each of Z 1 -Z 4 is independently selected from OH or NH 2 , wherein at least one of Z 1 -Z 2 and at least one of Z 3 -Z 4 is NH 2 , wherein the sum of x+y is in the range of about 2 to about 8, wherein x≧1 and y≧1, and the sum of x 1 +y 1 is in the range of about 2 to about 8, wherein x 1 ≧1 and y 1 ≧1.

2. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of Z 1 -Z 4 is NH 2 .

3. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein said polyetheramine comprises a polyetheramine mixture comprising at least 90%, by weight of said polyetheramine mixture, of said polyetheramine of Formula (I), said polyetheramine of Formula (II), or a mixture thereof.

4. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of A 1 -A 9 is independently selected from ethylene, propylene, or butylene.

5. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of A 1 -A 9 is propylene.

6. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 11 , and R 12 is H and each of R 3 , R 4 , R 9 , and R 10 is independently selected from C1-C16 alkyl or aryl.

7. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 11 , and R 12 is H and each of R 3 , R 4 , R 9 , and R 10 is independently selected from a butyl group, an ethyl group, a methyl group, a propyl group, or a phenyl group.

8. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of R 1 , R 2 , R 7 , and R 8 is H and each of R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 9 , R 10 , R 11 , and R 12 is independently selected from an ethyl group, a methyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, a phenyl group, or H.

9. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I) or Formula (II), each of R 3 and R 9 is an ethyl group, each of R 4 and R 10 is a butyl group, and each of R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , R 8 , R 11 , and R 12 is H.

10. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 290 to about 900 grams/mole.

11. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 300 to about 450 grams/mole.

12. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein said polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of about 300 to about 700 grams/mole.

13. The cleaning composition of claim 1 further comprising from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of enzyme.

14. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein said enzyme is selected from lipase, amylase, protease, mannanase, or combinations thereof.

15. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein said surfactant system comprises one or more surfactants selected from anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants.

16. The cleaning composition of claim 1 further comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an additional amine.

17. The cleaning composition of claim 16 wherein said additional amine is selected from oligoamines, triamines, diamines, or a combination thereof.

18. The cleaning composition of claim 16 wherein said additional amine is selected from tetraethylenepentamine, triethylenetetraamine, diethylenetriamine, or a mixture thereof.

19. A method of pretreating or treating a soiled fabric comprising contacting the soiled fabric with the cleaning composition of claim 1 .
