Abstract

The present invention relates generally to cleaning compositions and, more specifically, to cleaning compositions containing a polyetheramine that 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 the composition, of a surfactant system, the surfactant system comprising anionic surfactant and/or nonionic surfactant;
from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of an enzyme; and
from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of a polyetheramine of
Formula (I):

wherein
R is selected from H or a C1-C6 alkyl group,
each of k 1 , k 2 , and k 3 is independently selected from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6,
each of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , and A 6 is independently selected from a linear or branched alkylene group having from about 2 to about 18 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof,
x≧1, y≧1, and z≧1, and the sum of x+y+z is in the range of from about 3 to about 30,
each of Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 is independently selected from NH 2 or OH, where at least two of Z 1 , Z 2 , and Z 3 are NH 2 , and
the polyetheramine has a weight average molecular weight of from about 150 to about 900 grams/mole.

2. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), R is H or a C1-C6 alkyl group selected from methyl, ethyl, or propyl.

3. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each of k 1 , k 2 , and k 3 is independently selected from 0, 1, or 2.

4. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein at least two of k 1 , k 2 , and k 3 are 1.

5. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , and A 6 is independently selected from a linear or branched alkylene group having from about 2 to about 10 carbon atoms.

6. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , and A 6 is independently selected from a linear or branched alkylene group having from about 2 to about 4 carbon atoms.

7. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), at least one of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 , A 4 , A 5 , and A 6 is a linear or branched butylene group.

8. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein said polyetheramine of Formula (I) has a weight average molecular weight of from about 350 to about 800 grams/mole.

9. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein said cleaning composition comprises from about 0.2% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of the polyetheramine of Formula (I).

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

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

12. The cleaning composition of claim 1 further comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an additional amine selected from oligoamines, triamines, diamines, or a combination thereof.

13. A cleaning composition comprising:
from about 1% to about 70% by weight of a surfactant system, the surfactant system comprising anionic surfactant and/or nonionic surfactant; and
from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a polyetheramine selected from

wherein the average n is from about 0.5 to about 5, or mixtures thereof.

14. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , the anionic surfactant comprising a sulfate detersive surfactant and/or a sulfonic detersive surfactant.

15. The cleaning composition of claim 12 wherein the additional amine is selected from tetraethylenepentamine, triethylenetetraamine, diethylenetriamine, or a mixture thereof.
