Abstract

This disclosure relates to detergent compositions containing pyridinol-N-oxide compounds and being substantially free of bleach. Methods for treating a stained fabric using such detergent compositions are also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A detergent composition comprising:
a. from about 0.1% to about 1%, by weight of the composition, of 2-pyridinol N-oxide, a tautomer thereof, or a salt thereof;
b. a phosphonate chelating agent present in an amount from about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of the detergent composition; and
c. an adjunct material;

wherein the detergent composition is free of bleach, and
wherein said composition further comprises from about 5% to about 70% by weight surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant.

2. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.15% by weight to about 0.5% by weight of said 2-pyridinol-N-oxide.

3. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein said surfactant further comprises a surfactant selected from the group consisting of a zwitterionic surfactant, amine oxide, and mixtures thereof.

4. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of anionic surfactant to nonionic surfactant is from about 10:90 to about 90:10.

5. The detergent composition of claim 4 , wherein the weight ratio of anionic surfactant to nonionic surfactant ranges from about 30:70 to about 70:30.

6. A method of treating a stained fabric comprising the step of applying the detergent composition of claim 1 to a stained portion of said fabric.

7. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the adjunct material is selected from the group consisting of polymers, builders, dye transfer inhibiting agents, dispersants, enzymes, enzyme stabilizers, catalytic materials, polymeric dispersing agents, clay soil removal agents, anti-redeposition agents, brighteners, hueing agents, suds suppressors, dyes, perfume, perfume delivery systems, structurant, carriers, hydrotropes, processing aids, pigments, and mixtures thereof.

8. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the phosphonate chelating agent is selected from the group consisting of diethylene triamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP); ethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) (EDTMP); hexamethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid); hydroxy-ethane diphosphonic acid (HEDP); hydroxyethane dimethylene phosphonic acid; 2-phosphono-1,2,4-Butanetricarboxylic acid; 2-hydroxy-2-phosphono-Acetic acid; Aminotri(methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP); P,P′-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis-Phosphonic acid; P,P′-methylenebis-Phosphonic acid; Triethylenediaminetetra(methylene phosphonic acid); P-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-Phosphonic acid; bis(hexamethylene triamine penta(methylenephosphonic acid); N2,N2,N6,N6-tetrakis(phosphonomethyl)-Lysine, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.

9. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the phosphonate chelating agent is present in the detergent composition at from about 0.2% to about 0.7% by weight of the detergent composition.

10. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the phosphonate chelating agent is present in the detergent composition at from about 0.3% to about 0.6% by weight of the detergent composition.

11. The detergent composition of claim 1 , wherein the anionic surfactant comprises alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkoxylated alkyl sulfates, or combinations thereof.

12. The detergent composition of claim 8 wherein the phosphonate chelating agent comprises diethylene triamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP).
