Background of invention
The detergent composition of producing the compact detergent powder type is well known in the prior art.For example, US5225100 has described the tablet of the dense powder that contains the anionic detergent immunomodulator compounds, and it will fully disperse in washing water.
Though the detergent composition of the dense granule tablet form of different shape has been subjected to very big attention in patent documentation, using this tablet is unknown to be provided at the washability that wash(ing)cycle, soft or conditioning fabric and not influencing was provided by this detergent composition or the unitary dose fabric softener of other harm washing effect.
The another kind of possible selection that is used for providing the unit dose softener except that wash(ing)cycle is directly to add softening compositions in rinse cycle.But, must satisfy some actual needs for making this series products effective.At first the size of unit-dose container and shape must be easy to be easy to add decollator with the various geometrical shape fits that are used for the rinse cycle decollator of domestic washing machine to guarantee it.In addition, identical with the general application of rinse cycle softening agent, must cleaned at regular intervals rinsing decollator avoiding in decollator, accumulating resistates, or even stop the growth of bacterium simultaneously.
In addition, the units dosage composition that is used for rinse cycle must be mixed with when contacting with water corresponding to unitary dose in the time cycle of the residence time of decollator, promptly enter and flow through in time of rinse cycle decollator and be easy to disperse its component at water.The product that above-mentioned actual needs can not got by any commerce so far successfully satisfies, therefore, still need in the prior art can be in rinse cycle the activatory unit dose softener.
Comprise that further fabric softener is well known in the prior art with laundry detergent composition soft in the wash(ing)cycle that is provided at laundry operations or the conditioning fabric, and in patent documentation, described.US4605506 referring to for example Wixon; The US4569773 of the US4818421 of Boris etc. and Ramachandran etc. all transfers Colgate-Palmolive Co. and transfers the US4851138 of Akzo.The US5972870 of Anderson has described the multilayer laundry tablets that is used to wash, and it can be included in outer field washing composition and at fabric softener or the water-softening agent or the spices of internal layer.But this class multiple-effect product has common shortcoming, promptly, there is intrinsic harm, independent only be used to the detergent composition that cleans and use the independent softish soft compound that only is used for to compare in rinse cycle with using in wash(ing)cycle, the cleaning and the soft effect that are provided by this series products must be provided the user.In fact, the user of this washing composition softener composition does not have ability to regulate the quantity of washing composition and softening agent in the wash(ing)cycle that adds machine separately according to the cleaning of concrete washing load and soft needs.
Having carried out some in the prior art attempts being generally powder type with active fabric softener exploitation wash(ing)cycle.But the product of these types has and uses the identical inconvenience of powder detergent intrinsic, i.e. operational issue, caking and need doser that the REACTIVE SOFTNER material of desired number is provided with the water to washing in container or wash(ing)cycle decollator.We find now; the softness of the clothes of washing can be independent of the handiness of detergent doses and carry out in wash(ing)cycle; with provide great convenience to the human consumer by applying unit dosage softening agent wash(ing)cycle, it has been avoided and has toppled over and operate particle or the relevant FAQs of liquid detergent composition.
