Description

 "Detergents and cleaning agents with skin-care ingredients"

The invention relates to an aqueous liquid washing and cleaning agent, comprising a surfactant mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants, a skin-care ingredient and a deposition aid. The invention also relates to the use of the washing and cleaning agent and a method for its preparation.

Anionic surfactants are important components of detergents and cleaners because they remove a variety of textile contaminants. Anionic surfactants are particularly effective in fatty soils. However, on contact with skin, they may also interact with it and dry it out, for example, by removing the skin fat.

Milder anionic surfactants, as used for example in personal cleansers, do not give adequate performance in laundry detergents and cleaners for textiles, especially with regard to fatty soiling.

But also the pure wearing of textiles leads by friction or by a water transfer from the skin to the textile to undesirable interactions between the textile and the skin, whereby the skin is strained and / or damaged.

From WO 03/064583 A1 therefore solid detergents are known which contain plant extracts which are known for their skin friendliness.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid detergent and cleanser which is skin friendly. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a liquid detergent and cleanser which makes skin washed with it skin friendly.

This object is achieved by an aqueous liquid washing and cleaning agent containing

(A) 1 to 40 wt .-% of a surfactant mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants, wherein the total amount of anionic surfactant in the washing and cleaning agent 0.1 to 5% by weight and the ratio of anionic surfactants to nonionic surfactants between 1 : 20 and 1: 1,

(b) a skin care ingredient and

(c) a deposition aid. It is preferred that the ratio of anionic surfactants to nonionic surfactants is between 1:15 and 1: 2, and preferably between 1:10 and 1: 5.

It has surprisingly been found that by adjusting a specific ratio of the anionic surfactant to the nonionic surfactant and limiting the total content of anionic surfactant in the washing and cleaning agent to 5% by weight, liquid detergents and cleaners are obtained which are mildly too the skin and show no loss of cleaning effect.

It is particularly preferred that the total amount of anionic surfactant is 0.5 to 4 wt%, more preferably 1 to 2 wt%.

By further reducing the total content of anionic surfactant, a particularly skin-friendly washing and cleaning agent is obtained, which at the same time still has a good washing and cleaning power.

Preferably, the amount of skin care ingredient is between 0.01 and 10 weight percent, preferably between 0.1 and 5 weight percent, and most preferably between 0.3 and 3 weight percent.

It is particularly preferred that the skin care ingredient be hydrophobic.

Hydrophobic skin care ingredients are preferred skin care ingredients because, on the one hand, they reduce water transfer between the textile and skin by hydrophobing the textile surface and, on the other hand, they can self-care for the skin after transfer from the textile to the skin (e.g., by friction).

It has surprisingly been found that with the aid of the liquid detergent and cleaner according to the invention hydrophobic, skin-care ingredients can be effectively applied to the textile, although anionic surfactants are present in the detergent and cleaning agent. This is due to the surfactant mixture adjusted according to the invention.

It is preferred that the skin care ingredient be selected from the group consisting of waxes, hydrophobic plant extracts, higher fatty alcohols, esters, hydrocarbons, lipids, vitamins, phospholipids, sunscreens, silicone oils and mixtures thereof.

These compounds or classes of compounds are particularly effective skin care agents, skin softeners and / or skin protection agents. It is preferred that the deposition aid be a cationic deposition aid selected from the group consisting of cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, zwitterionic polymers having a total cationic charge, and mixtures thereof.

The affinity between skin care ingredients, especially when hydrophobic, and textiles is typically very low due to the lack of attractive forces between the skin care ingredients and the textiles. Since most textile materials such as cotton, wool, silk or nylon have a low anionic charge, a cationic deposition aid can increase the amount of skin-care ingredient transferred to the textile.

In addition, many compounds of these classes of compounds have textile-softening and / or skin-care properties, so that at the same time the feel of the textiles can be improved or they can be conditioned and / or a further skin-care ingredient can be applied to the textile.

It is preferred that the pH of the washing and cleaning agent is between 4 and 10, preferably between 4.5 and 8, preferably between 4.5 and 6.

It is advantageous that the pH of the washing and cleaning agent is not too high (pH> 10) and not too low (pH <4), so that upon contact with the skin no irritations by the acidic or basic character of the washing and cleaning Detergent caused.

The invention further relates to the use of the liquid washing and cleaning agent according to the invention for cleaning textile fabrics.

In addition, the invention relates to the use of the liquid detergent and cleaner according to the invention for the treatment of fabrics, which confer an advantage on contact with the skin.

The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of an aqueous liquid detergent and cleaner containing

(a) 1 to 40% by weight of a surfactant mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactants, the total amount of anionic surfactant in the washing and cleaning agent being 0.1 to 5% by weight,

(b) a skin care ingredient and

(c) a deposition aid, wherein the anionic and nonionic surfactants are used in a ratio of between 1:20 and 1: 1.

In the following, the liquid detergents and cleaners according to the invention are described in detail, inter alia by way of examples.

The liquid detergents and cleaners necessarily contain a skin-care ingredient. A skin-care ingredient is understood to mean a compound or mixture of compounds which, upon contact of a textile with the detergent, draws on the textile and gives an advantage to the skin on contact of the textile with skin, compared to a textile which does not interfere with the washing of the invention - and detergent was treated. This benefit may include, for example, the transfer of the skin care ingredient from the textile to the skin, less water transfer from the skin to the textile, or less friction on the skin surface through the textile.

The skin care ingredient is preferably hydrophobic, may be liquid or solid, and must be compatible with the other ingredients of the liquid detergent and conditioner. The skin care ingredient may include, for example: a) waxes such as camauba, spermaceti, beeswax, lanolin, derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof; b) hydrophobic plant extracts, for example vegetable oils such as avocado oil, olive oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, rapeseed oil, linseed oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, coriander oil, castor oil, poppy seed oil, cocoa oil, coconut oil, pumpkin seed oil, wheat germ oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, macadamia nut oil, apricot kernel oil, hazelnut oil, jojoba oil, canola oil and mixtures thereof; c) higher fatty acids such as lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, isostearic acid or polyunsaturated fatty acids; d) higher fatty alcohols, such as lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol or 2-hexadecanol, e) esters, such as cetyl octanoate, lauryl lactate, myristyl lactate, cetyl lactate, isopropyl myristate, myristyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl adipate, butyl stearate, decyl oleate, cholesterol isostearate, glyce rolmonostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol tristearate, alkyl lactate, alkyl citrate or alkyl tartrate; f) hydrocarbons such as paraffins, mineral oils, squalane or squalene; g) lipids; h) vitamins such as vitamins A and E or vitamin alkyl esters; i) phospholipids; j) sunscreens such as octyl methoxyl cinnamate and butyl methoxybenzoyl methane; k) silicone oils such as linear or cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, amino-, alkyl-, alkylaryl- or aryl-substituted silicone oils and I) mixtures thereof. The amount of skin care ingredient is preferably between 0.01 and 10 weight percent, preferably between 0.1 and 5 weight percent, and most preferably between 0.3 and 3 weight percent.

Although hydrophobic skin care ingredients are preferred in this invention, hydrophilic skin care ingredients may additionally, but alternatively, be employed in the liquid detergents and cleaners. Examples of hydrophilic skin care ingredients include polyhydroxy alcohols (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, panthenol, sugar), urea, hydroxy acids, or polyethylene glycols having a molecular weight of less than 20,000.

Another possible skin-care ingredient is aloe. Aloe is the thickened juice of the leaves of Aloe species (Liliaceae), mainly Aloe vera (Curacao aloe) and Aloe ferox or Aloe africans (Cape Aloe). The juice contains, in addition to resins, emodin, essential oils, above all about 5 to 25 wt .-% of the anthonoid aloin. Other constituents include the pyrrole derivative aloenin, various aloesaponols derived from anthracenone and the acromone derivative aloesin.

Furthermore, the liquid detergents and cleaners contain a deposition aid. A cationic deposition aid is preferred within the scope of this application and includes a compound which aids in the deposition of the skin care ingredient during the wash on the laundry. The cationic deposition aid may include, for example, cationic surfactants, cationic polymers, zwitterionic polymers having a total cationic charge, or mixtures thereof. The amount of deposition aid is preferably between 0.1 and 20 wt .-%, preferably between 1 and 10 wt .-% and most preferably between 2 and 6 wt .-%.

X ^" can be either a halide, methosulfate, methophosphate or phosphate ion as well as mixtures of these anions. Preferred compounds are those in which R ^{5 represents} the group O (CO) R ^7. Particularly preferred are compounds in which R ^{5 is} the group O (CO) R ⁷ and R ⁴ and R ^{7 are} alk (en) yl radicals having 16 to 18 carbon atoms, particular preference is given to compounds in which R ⁶ additionally represents OH.

A preferred example of a cationic deposition aid according to formula (V) is 2,3-bis [tallowacyloxy] -3-trimethylammonium propane chloride.

The deposition aids according to formulas (I) to (V) are particularly effective deposition aids since on the one hand they interact with the (hydrophobic) skin-care ingredient through the long-chain alkyl groups and on the other hand they interact with the textiles through the cationic charge. Further cationic deposition aids which can be used according to the invention are quaternized protein hydrolyzates or protonated amines.

In addition to the skin-care ingredients and the Abscheidungshilfe the liquid detergents and cleaners contain surfactant (s), wherein at least anionic and nonionic surfactants are used. In addition, the liquid detergents and cleaning agents may also contain even more amphoteric surfactants. The total surfactant content of the liquid washing and cleaning agent is preferably at most 40% by weight and more preferably below 35% by weight, based on the total liquid detergent and cleaning agent.

The nonionic surfactants used are preferably alkoxylated, advantageously ethoxylated, in particular primary, alcohols having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms and an average of 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) per mole of alcohol, in which the alcohol residue can be linear or preferably methyl-branched in the 2-position or linear and methyl-branched radicals in the mixture can contain, as they are usually present in Oxoalkoholresten. In particular, however, alcohol ethoxylates with linear radicals of alcohols of native origin having 12 to 18 C atoms, for example coconut, palm, tallow or oleyl alcohol, and on average 2 to 8 EO per mole of alcohol are preferred. Preferred ethoxylated alcohols include, for example, C _12-14 - alcohols containing 3 EO, 7 EO or 4 EO, _C9-11 alcohol containing 7 EO, C _13-15 alcohols containing 3 EO, 5 EO, 7 EO or 8 EO, C _12-18 -alcohols with 3 EO, 5 EO or 7 EO and mixtures of these, such as mixtures of C _12-14 -alcohol with 3 EO and C _12-18 -alcohol with 7 EO. The stated degrees of ethoxylation represent statistical averages, which may be an integer or a fractional number for a particular product. Preferred alcohol ethoxylates have a narrow homolog distribution (narrow rank ethoxylates, NRE). In addition to these nonionic surfactants, fatty alcohols with more than 12 EO can also be used. Examples of these are tallow fatty alcohol with 14 EO, 25 EO, 30 EO or 40 EO. Nonionic surfactants containing EO and PO groups together in the molecule can also be used according to the invention.

Also preferred are alk (en) ylsulfates of said chain length, which are a synthetic, petrochemical-based straight-chain Alkyl radical containing an analogous degradation behavior as the adequate compounds based on oleochemical raw materials. From the washing the C ₂ -C ₁₆ alkyl sulfates and C ₁₂ -C ₁₅ alkyl sulfates and C ₄ -C ₁₅ preferably alkyl sulphates. 2,3-alkyl sulfates, which can be obtained as commercial products from Shell Oil Company under the name DAN ^®, are suitable anionic surfactants.

Preferred sulfosuccinates contain C _8-1 β-fatty alcohol residues or mixtures of these. Particularly preferred sulfosuccinates contain a fatty alcohol residue derived from ethoxylated fatty alcohols, which in themselves constitute nonionic surfactants (see description below). Sulfosuccinates, whose fatty alcohol residues are derived from ethoxylated fatty alcohols with a narrow homolog distribution, are again particularly preferred. Likewise, it is also possible to use alk (en) ylsuccinic acid having preferably 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alk (en) yl chain or salts thereof.

Particularly preferred anionic surfactants are soaps. Suitable are saturated and unsaturated fatty acid soaps, such as the salts of lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, (hydrogenated) erucic acid and behenic acid and, in particular, soap mixtures derived from natural fatty acids, for example coconut, palm kernel, olive oil or tallow fatty acids.

The anionic surfactants, including the soaps, may be in the form of their sodium, potassium or ammonium salts and as soluble salts of organic bases, such as mono-, di- or triethanolamine. The anionic surfactants are preferably present in the form of their sodium or potassium salts, in particular in the form of the sodium salts.

The content of anionic surfactants in preferred liquid detergents and cleaners is from 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 4% by weight and more preferably from 1 to 2% by weight, based in each case on the total washing composition. and detergents. With very particular preference the liquid detergents and cleaners contain less than 2% by weight of anionic surfactants. The ratio of nonionic surfactants to anionic surfactants is from 1: 1 to 20: 1, preferably from 2: 1 to 15: 1 and more preferably from 5: 1 to 10: 1.

The viscosity of the liquid detergents and cleaners can be measured by conventional standard methods (for example Brookfield LVT-II viscometer at 20 rpm and 20 ^° C. spindle ₁ ) and is preferably in the range from 500 to 5000 mPas. Preferred detergents and cleaners have viscosities of 700 to 4000 mPas, with values between 1000 and 3000 mPas being particularly preferred.

In addition to the surfactants, the liquid detergents and cleaning agents may contain further ingredients which further improve the performance and / or aesthetic properties of the liquid detergent and cleaning agent. In the context of the present invention, preferred detergents and cleaners contain, in addition to the surfactants, one or more substances from the group of builders, bleaches, bleach activators, enzymes, electrolytes, nonaqueous solvents, pH adjusters, fragrances, perfume carriers, fluorescers, dyes, hydrotopes, Foam inhibitors, silicone oils, anti-redeposition agents, optical brighteners, anti-glare inhibitors, anti-shrinkage agents, anti-crease agents, color transfer inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, germicides, fungicides, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, antistatic agents, ironing auxiliaries, repellents and impregnating agents, swelling and anti-slip agents and UV absorbers.

Suitable builders which may be present in the liquid detergents and cleaners are, in particular, silicates, aluminum silicates (in particular zeolites), carbonates, salts of organic di- and polycarboxylic acids and mixtures of these substances.

Suitable crystalline layered sodium silicates have the general formula NaMSi _x O _{2x +} IH ₂ O, where M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1, 9 to 4 and y is a number from 0 to 20 and preferred values for x 2.3 or 4 are. Preferred crystalline layered silicates of the formula given are those in which M is sodium and x assumes the values 2 or 3. In particular, both β- and δ-sodium disilicates Na ₂ Si ₂ O ₅ .yH ₂ O are preferred.

It is also possible to use amorphous sodium silicates with a Na ₂ O: SiO ₂ modulus of from 1: 2 to 1: 3.3, preferably from 1: 2 to 1: 2.8 and in particular from 1: 2 to 1: 2.6, which Delayed and have secondary washing properties. The dissolution delay compared with conventional amorphous sodium silicates may have been caused in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding, compaction / densification or by overdrying. In the context of this invention, the term "amorphous" is also understood to mean "X-ray amorphous". This means that the silicates in X-ray diffraction experiments do not produce sharp X-ray reflections, which are typical for crystalline substances, but at most a or multiple maxima of the scattered X-radiation having a width of several degrees of the diffraction angle. However, it may even lead to particularly good buil- ding properties if the silicate particles produce fuzzy or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction experiments. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline regions of size 10 to a few hundred nm, with values of up to a maximum of 50 nm and in particular up to a maximum of 20 nm being preferred. Particularly preferred are compacted / compacted amorphous silicates, compounded amorphous silicates and overdried X-ray amorphous silicates.

The finely crystalline, synthetic and bound water-containing zeolite used is preferably zeolite A and / or P. As zeolite P, zeolite MAP® (commercial product from Crosfield) is particularly preferred. Also suitable, however, are zeolite X and mixtures of A, X and / or P. Commercially available and preferably usable in the context of the present invention is, for example, a cocrystal of zeolite X and zeolite A (about 80% by weight of zeolite X) ) ₁ which is sold by the company SASOL under the brand name VEGOBOND AX ^® and by the formula

The zeolite can be used as a spray-dried powder or else as a dried, stabilized suspension which is still moist from its preparation. In the event that the zeolite is used as a suspension, it may contain minor additions of nonionic surfactants as stabilizers, for example 1 to 3 wt .-%, based on zeolite, of ethoxylated C ₁₂ -C ₁₈ fatty alcohols having 2 to 5 ethylene oxide groups , C ₁₂ -C ₁₄ fatty alcohols having 4 to 5 ethylene oxide groups or ethoxylated isotridecanols.

Of course, a use of the well-known phosphates as builders is possible, unless such use should not be avoided for environmental reasons. Particularly suitable are the sodium salts of orthophosphates, pyrophosphates and in particular tripolyphosphates.

Organic builders which may be present in the detergent and cleaner include polycarboxylate polymers such as polyacrylates and acrylic acid / maleic acid copolymers, polyaspartates and monomeric polycarboxylates such as citrates, gluconates, succinates or malonates, which are preferably used as sodium salts. Among the compounds which serve as bleaches and deliver H ₂ O ₂ in water, the sodium perborate tetrahydrate and the sodium perborate monohydrate are of particular importance. Further usable bleaching agents are, for example, sodium percarbonate, peroxypyrophosphates, citrate perhydrates and H ₂ O ₂ -producing peracidic salts or peracids, such as perbenzoates, peroxophthalates, diperazelaic acid, phthaloiminoperacid or diperdodecanedioic acid.

In order to achieve when washing at temperatures of 6O ⁰ C and below, an improved bleaching effect, bleach activators may be incorporated in the detergents and cleaning agents. As bleach activators, it is possible to use compounds which, under perhydrolysis conditions, give aliphatic peroxycarboxylic acids having preferably 1 to 10 C atoms, in particular 2 to 4 C atoms, and / or optionally substituted perbenzoic acid. Suitable substances are those which carry O- and / or N-acyl groups of the stated C atom number and / or optionally substituted benzoyl groups. Preference is given to polyacylated alkylenediamines, in particular tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), acylated triazine derivatives, in particular 1,5-diacetyl-2,4-dioxohexa-hydro-1,3,5-triazine (DADHT), acylated glycolurils, in particular tetraacetylglycoluril (TAGU ), N-acylimides, in particular N-nonanoylsuccinimide (NOSI), acylated phenolsulfonates, in particular n-nonanoyl or isononanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (n- or iso-NOBS), carboxylic anhydrides, in particular phthalic anhydride, acylated polyhydric alcohols, in particular triacetin, ethylene glycol diacetate and 2,5-diacetoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran.

In addition to or in place of the conventional bleach activators, so-called bleach catalysts can also be incorporated into the liquid detergents and cleaners. These substances are bleach-enhancing transition metal salts or transition metal complexes such as, for example, Mn, Fe, Co, Ru or Mo salt complexes or carbonyl complexes. Mn, Fe, Co, Ru, Mo, Ti, V and Cu complexes with nitrogen-containing tripod ligands and Co, Fe, Cu and Ru ammine complexes can also be used as bleach catalysts.

The liquid washing and cleaning agent may contain a thickening agent. The thickener may include, for example, a polyacrylate thickener, xanthan gum, gellan gum, guar gum, alginate, carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, bentonites, wellan gum, locust bean gum, agar, tragacanth, gum arabic, pectins, polyoses, starch, dextrins, gelatin and casein include. However, modified natural substances such as modified starches and celluloses, examples being carboxymethylcellulose and other cellulose ethers, hydroxyethyl and propylcellulose and core flour ethers, may also be used as thickeners.

The polyacrylic and polymethacrylic thickeners include, for example, the high molecular weight with a polyalkenyl polyether, in particular an allyl ether of sucrose, pentaerythritol or Propylene, crosslinked homopolymers of acrylic acid (INCI name according to "International Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients" of "The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA)": Carbomer), which are also referred to as Carboxyvinylpolymere. Such polyacrylic acids are available, inter alia, from 3V Sigma under the trade name Polygel®, for example Polygel DA ₁ and from BF Goodrich under the trade name Carbopol®, for example Carbopol 940 (molecular weight about 4,000,000), Carbopol 941 (Molecular weight about 1. 250,000) or Carbopol 934 (molecular weight about 3,000,000). Furthermore, these include the following acrylic acid copolymers: (i) copolymers of two or more monomers from the group of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their simple esters, preferably formed with C _1-4 -alkanols (INCI acrylates copolymer), to which approx the copolymers of methacrylic acid, butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate (CAS designation according to Chemical Abstracts Service: 25035-69-2) or butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate (CAS 25852-37-3) and the example of the company. Rohm & Haas under the trade names Aculyn® and Acusol®, as well as from the company Degussa (Goldschmidt) under the trade name Tego® polymer, for example the anionic non-associative polymers Aculyn 22, Aculyn 28, Aculyn 33 (crosslinked), Acusol 810, Acusol 820, Acusol 823 and Acusol 830 (CAS 25852-37-3); (ii) crosslinked high molecular weight acrylic acid copolymers, such as those crosslinked with an allyl ether of sucrose or pentaerythritol copolymers of C _10-30 alkyl acrylates with one or more monomers from the group of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their simple, preferably with C _{1 -4} alkanols formed, esters (INCI acrylates / C _1O - ₃ o alkyl acrylate Crosspolymer)., and which are obtainable for example by the company BF Goodrich under the tradename Carbopol®, for example hydrophobized Carbopol ETD 2623 and Carbopol® 1382 (INCI acrylates / C _1O - ₃ o alkyl acrylate crosspolymer) and Carbopol Aqua 30 (formerly Carbopol EX 473).

Another preferred polymeric thickening agent is xanthan gum, a microbial anionic heteropolysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris and some other species under aerobic conditions and having a molecular weight of from 2 to 15 million daltons. Xanthan is formed from a chain of β-1,4-linked glucose (cellulose) with side chains. The structure of the subgroups consists of glucose, mannose, glucuronic acid, acetate and pyruvate, the number of pyruvate units determining the viscosity of the xanthan gum.

In particular, a fatty alcohol is also suitable as thickener. Fatty alcohols may be branched or unbranched, of native origin or of petrochemical origin. Preferred fatty alcohols have a C chain length of 10 to 20 C atoms, preferably 12 to 18. Preference is given to using mixtures of different C chain lengths, such as tallow fatty alcohol or coconut oil fatty alcohol. Examples are Lorol ® Special (C _12-14 -ROH) or Lorol® Technically (C ₁₂ - _I e-RC ¹ H) (both ex Cognis). Preferred aqueous liquid detergents and cleaners contain from 0.01 to 3% by weight, and preferably from 0.1 to 1% by weight, of thickening agent, based on the total washing and cleaning agent. The amount of thickener used depends on the type of thickening agent and the desired degree of thickening. Fatty alcohols are preferably used in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 wt .-% as a thickener.

The liquid detergent and cleaning agent may contain enzymes in encapsulated form and / or directly in the detergent composition. Suitable enzymes include in particular those from the classes of hydrolases such as proteases, esterases, lipases or lipolytic enzymes, amylases, cellulases or other Glykosylhydrolasen, hemicellulase, cutinases, ß-glucanases, oxidases, peroxidases, perhydrolases and / or laccases and mixtures the enzymes mentioned in question. All of these hydrolases in the laundry contribute to the removal of blemishes such as proteinaceous, greasy or starchy stains and graying. In addition, cellulases and other glycosyl hydrolases can contribute to color retention and to enhancing the softness of the fabric by removing pilling and microfibrils. Oxireductases can also be used for bleaching or inhibiting color transfer. Particularly suitable are bacterial strains or fungi such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Streptomyceus griseus and Humicola insolens derived enzymatic agents. Preferably, subtilisin-type proteases and in particular proteases derived from Bacillus lentus are used. In this case, enzyme mixtures, for example from protease and amylase or protease and lipase or lipolytic enzymes or protease and cellulase or from cellulase and lipase or lipolytic enzymes or from protease, amylase and lipase or lipolytic enzymes or protease, lipase or lipolytic enzymes and cellulase, but in particular protease and / or lipase-containing mixtures or mixtures with lipolytic enzymes of particular interest. Examples of such lipolytic enzymes are the known cutinases. Peroxidases or oxidases have also proved suitable in some cases. Suitable amylases include in particular α-amylases, iso-amylases, pullulanases and pectinases. As cellulases are preferably cellobiohydrolases, endoglucanases and ß-glucosidases, which are also called cellobiases, or mixtures thereof used. Since different cellulase types differ by their CMCase and avicelase activities, the desired activities can be set by targeted mixtures of the cellulases.

The enzymes may be adsorbed to carriers to protect against premature degradation. The proportion of the enzymes, the enzyme liquid formulation (s) or the enzyme granules directly in the detergent composition may be, for example, about 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.12 to about 2.5% by weight. However, it may also be preferred, for example in the case of special liquid detergents and cleaners for consumers with allergies, that the washing and cleaning agent contains no enzymes.

As electrolytes from the group of inorganic salts, a wide number of different salts can be used. Preferred cations are the alkali and alkaline earth metals, preferred anions are the halides and sulfates. From a manufacturing point of view, the use of NaCl or MgCl ₂ in the detergents and cleaners is preferred. The proportion of electrolytes in the washing and cleaning agents is usually 0.5 to 5 wt .-%.

Non-aqueous solvents which can be used in the liquid detergents and cleaners, for example, from the group of monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, alkanolamines or glycol ethers, provided they are miscible with water in the specified concentration range. The solvents are preferably selected from ethanol, n- or i-propanol, butanols, glycol, propane or butanediol, glycerol, diglycol, propyl- or butyldiglycol, hexylene glycol, ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol propyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-n butyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol methyl, ethyl or propyl ether, dipropylene glycol monomethyl or ethyl ether, di-isopropylene glycol monomethyl or ethyl ether, methoxy, ethoxy or Butoxytriglykol, 1-butoxyethoxy-2-pro - Panol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, propylene glycol t-butyl ether and mixtures of these solvents. Non-aqueous solvents can be used in the liquid detergents and cleaners in amounts between 0.5 and 15 wt .-%, but preferably below 12 wt .-% and in particular below 9 wt .-%.

In order to bring the pH of the liquid detergents and cleaners into the desired range, the use of pH adjusters may be indicated. Can be used here are all known acids or alkalis, unless their use is not for technical application or environmental reasons or for reasons of consumer protection prohibited. Usually, the amount of these adjusting agents does not exceed 7% by weight of the total formulation.

The pH of the washing and cleaning agent is between 4 and 10, preferably between 4.5 and 8 and more preferably between 4.5 and 6.

In order to improve the aesthetic impression of the liquid washing and cleaning agents, they can be dyed with suitable dyes. Preferred dyestuffs, the selection of which presents no difficulty to the skilled person, have a high storage stability and insensitivity. to the other ingredients of detergents and cleaners and to light and no pronounced substantivity to textile fibers so as not to stain them.

Suitable foam inhibitors which can be used in the liquid detergents and cleaners are, for example, soaps, paraffins or silicone oils, which may optionally be applied to support materials.

Suitable soil release polymers, also referred to as "anti-redeposition agents", include, for example, nonionic cellulose ethers such as methyl cellulose and methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose having a methoxy group content of 15 to 30 wt% and hydroxypropyl groups of 1 to 15 wt%, respectively based on the nonionic cellulose ether and the known from the prior art polymers of phthalic acid and / or terephthalic acid or derivatives thereof, in particular polymers of ethylene terephthalates and / or polyethylene and / or polypropylene glycol terephthalates or anionic and / or nonionic modified derivatives of Suitable derivatives include the sulfonated derivatives of the phthalic and terephthalic acid polymers.

Optical brighteners (so-called "whiteners") can be added to liquid detergents to remove graying and yellowing of the treated fabrics, which will be absorbed by the fiber and cause brightening and fake bleaching by causing invisible ultraviolet radiation in the fabric visible radiation converter, wherein the absorbed from sunlight ultraviolet light is radiated as a pale blue fluorescence and the yellow shade of the grayed or yellowed laundry pure white. Suitable yields compounds originate, for example, from the substance classes of the ^{4,4-diamino-2,} 2 ^{stilbenedisulfonic} acids (flavonic), ^{4,4'-biphenylene} -Distyryl, Methylumbel- liferone, coumarins, dihydroquinolinones, 1, 3-diaryl pyrazolines, naphthalimides, benzoxazole, benzisoxazole and benzimidazole systems, and the Pyrenderi- heterocyclic substituted derivatives The optical brighteners will be usually in amounts between 0% and 0.3 wt .-%, based on the finished detergent and cleaner used.

Grayness inhibitors have the task of keeping the dirt detached from the fiber suspended in the liquor and thus preventing the dirt from being rebuilt. Water-soluble colloids of mostly organic nature are suitable for this purpose, for example glue, gelatine, salts of ether sulfonic acids or cellulose or salts of acidic sulfuric acid esters of cellulose or starch. Also, water-soluble polyamides containing acidic groups are suitable for this purpose. It is also possible to use soluble starch preparations and starch products other than those mentioned above, for example degraded starch, aldehyde starches, etc. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is also useful. However, preference is given to cellulose ethers such as carboxymethylcellulose lulose (Na salt) ₁ methylcellulose, hydroxyalkylcellulose and mixed ethers such as methylhydroxyethylcellulose, methylhydroxypropylcellulose, methylcarboxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof in amounts of 0.1 to 5 wt .-%, based on the detergents and cleaning agents used.

Since textile fabrics, in particular of rayon, viscose staple, cotton and their mixtures, can tend to wrinkle because the individual fibers are sensitive to bending, buckling, pressing and squeezing transversely to the fiber direction, the detergents and cleaners may contain synthetic crease inhibitors. These include, for example, synthetic products based on fatty acids, fatty acid esters, fatty acid amides, alkylol esters, alkylolamides or fatty alcohols, which are usually reacted with ethylene oxide, or products based on lecithin or modified phosphoric acid ester.

To combat microorganisms, the liquid detergents and cleaners may contain antimicrobial agents. Depending on the antimicrobial spectrum and mechanism of action, a distinction is made between bacteriostatic agents and bactericides, fungistatics and fungicides, etc. Important substances from these groups are, for example, benzalkonium chlorides, alkylarylsulfonates, halophenols and phenolmercuric acetate, although the detergents and cleaning agents according to the invention are also completely devoid of these compounds can be.

The liquid detergents and cleaners according to the invention may contain preservatives, it being preferred to use only those which have no or only a low skin-sensitizing potential. Examples are sorbic acid and its salts, benzoic acid and its salts, salicylic acid and its salts, phenoxyethanol, formic acid and its salts, 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate, sodium N- (hydroxymethyl) glycinate, biphenyl-2-ol and mixtures thereof. A suitable preservative is the solvent-free, aqueous combination of diazolidinyl urea, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (available as Euxyl® K 500 ex Schuelke & Mayr), which can be used in a pH range up to 7. In particular, preservatives based on organic acids and / or their salts are suitable for preserving the skin-friendly detergents and cleaners according to the invention.

In order to prevent undesirable changes to the liquid detergents and cleaners and / or the treated fabrics caused by the action of oxygen and other oxidative processes, the detergents and cleaners may contain antioxidants. This class of compounds includes, for example, substituted phenols, hydroquinones, pyrocatechols and aromatic amines, as well as organic sulfides, polysulfides, dithiocarbamates, phosphites, phosphonates and vitamin E. An increased wearing comfort can result from the additional use of antistatic agents, which are additionally added to the detergents and cleaners. Antistatic agents increase the surface conductivity and thus allow an improved drainage of formed charges. External antistatic agents are generally substances with at least one hydrophilic molecule ligand and give a more or less hygroscopic film on the surfaces. These mostly surface-active antistatic agents can be subdivided into nitrogen-containing (amines, amides, quaternary ammonium compounds), phosphorus-containing (phosphoric acid esters) and sulfur-containing (alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates) antistatic agents. Lauryl (or stearyl) dimethylbenzylammonium chlorides are suitable as antistatic agents for textile fabrics or as an additive to detergents, with an additional finishing effect being achieved.

To improve the rewettability of the treated fabrics and to facilitate the ironing of the treated fabrics, for example, silicone derivatives may be used in the liquid detergents and cleaners. These additionally improve the rinsing behavior of the detergents and cleaning agents by their foam-inhibiting properties. Preferred silicone derivatives are, for example, polydialkyl or alkylaryl siloxanes in which the alkyl groups have one to five carbon atoms and are completely or partially fluorinated. Preferred silicones are polydimethylsiloxanes, which may optionally be derivatized and are then amino-functional or quaternized or have Si-OH, Si-H and / or Si-Cl bonds. The viscosities of the preferred silicones are in the range between 100 and 100,000 mPas at 25 ° C, wherein the silicones in amounts between 0.2 and 5 wt .-%, based on the total washing and cleaning agent can be used.

Finally, the liquid detergents and cleaners may also contain UV absorbers that wick onto the treated fabrics and improve the lightfastness of the fibers. Compounds having these desired properties include, for example, the non-radiative deactivating compounds and derivatives of benzophenone having substituents in the 2- and / or 4-position. Also suitable are substituted benzotriazoles, phenyl-substituted acrylates (cinnamic acid derivatives) in the 3-position, optionally with cyano groups in the 2-position, salicylates, organic Ni complexes and natural substances such as umbelliferone and the body's own urocanic acid.

In order to avoid the catalyzed by heavy metals decomposition of certain detergent ingredients, substances that complex heavy metals can be used. Suitable heavy metal complexing agents are, for example, the alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and alkali metal salts of anionic polyelectrolytes such as polymaleates and polysulfonates. A preferred class of complexing agents are the phosphonates, which in preferred liquid detergents and cleaners in amounts of 0.01 to 2.5 wt .-%, preferably 0.02 to 2% by weight and in particular from 0.03 to 1 , 5 wt .-% are included. These preferred compounds include in particular organophosphonates such as 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), aminotri (methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP), diethylenetriamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid) (DTPMP or DETPMP) and 2-phosphonobutane -1, 2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBS-AM), which are mostly used in the form of their ammonium or alkali metal salts.

The detergents and cleaners according to the invention can be used for cleaning textile fabrics.

Furthermore, the detergents and cleaners according to the invention can be used for the treatment of textile fabrics which confer an advantage on contact with the skin.

The liquid detergents and cleaners are prepared by conventional methods and processes in which, for example, the constituents are simply mixed in stirred kettles, water, nonaqueous solvents and surfactants, the anionic surfactants and the nonionic surfactants being in a ratio of 1: 1 are added to 1: 20, expediently presented and the other ingredients are added in portions. Separate heating in the production is not necessary if it is desired, should the temperature of the mixture did not exceed 8O ⁰ C.
