Definitions

  • This invention relates to laundry detergent compositions which exhibit surprisingly effective detergency as well as fabric softening and static control, even in the total absence of detergency builder materials. Specifically, completely unbuilt compositions of the present invention have demonstrated the ability to provide good detergency, fabric softening and static control.
  • Other detergent compositions which utilize mixtures of selected nonionic surfactants and cationic surfactants are defined in U.S. Patents 4,259,217 and 4,222,905, as well as in European Patent Application 12 483 and in German Patent Application 2 948 921. European Patent Applications No. 75 995 and 75 996, both published 06.04.83, disclose built detergent compositions containing alkylpolysaccharides and nonionic surfactants.
  • compositions of the present invention have excellent cleaning capabilities and are relatively insensitive to water hardness conditions, performing well in both hard and soft water conditions. Finally, in addition to this cleaning performance, the present invention provides, in a single detergent product, fabric softening and static control to the laundered fabrics.
  • the present invention relates to low- or no- phosphate laundry detergent compositions, especially beneficial for good cleaning and the effective provision of softening and antistatic benefits, having a pH in the laundry solution of greater than about 7, and, preferably, containing no more than 15% phosphate, and no more than 10% silicate materials, which comprise from 5% to 100%, by weight, of a surfactant mixture containing:
  • the weight ratio of nonionic surfactant to alkylpolysaccharide surfactant is not greater than 7:1 preferably from 3:1 to 1:3, and the weight ratio of nonionic surfactant plus alkylpolysaccharide surfactant to quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant is in the range of from 2:1 to 12:1.
  • compositions of the present invention comprise, by weight, from 5 to 100%, preferably from 15 to 90%, and most preferably from 20 to 80%, of a mixture of particularly defined nonionic, alkylpolysaccharide and cationic surfactants in the ratios stated herein.
  • Preferred compositions contain at least 15% of the nonionic/alkylpoly- saccharide/cationic surfactant mixture and at least 1 1/2 of the cationic component, itself, in order to assure the presence of a sufficient amount of both the cationic surfactant and the mixture to provide the desired cleaning and fabric conditioning benefits.
  • compositions of the present invention contain the nonionic, alkylpolysaccharide and cationic surfactants, defined hereinafter, within ratios of nonionic and alkylpolysaccharide to cationic surfactant of from 2:1 to 12:1, preferably from 3:1 to 9:1 for cleaning; and most preferably from 4:1 to 9:1, in order to achieve the best soil removal performance.
  • compositions of the present invention are formulated so as to have a pH of greater than 7 in the laundry solution, at conventional usage concentrations, in order to optimize their overall cleaning performance, to aid in their manufacturing and processing, and to minimize the possibility of washing machine corrosion.
  • Alkalinity sources such as potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, may be included in the compositions for this purpose.
  • Some of the cationic/nonionic systems of the present invention may attain optimum removal of greasy/oily soils at higher pH's, while attaining optimum particulate soil removal at relatively lower pH's. In these systems, overall performance may be enhanced by varying the pH of the wash solution during the laundering process.
  • compositions have a pH of at least about 8 in the laundry solution, in order to optimize the removal of greasy/oily and body soils.
  • these preferred compositions should also have the ability to maintain a pH in the laundry solution of from about 8 to 11 throughout the washing operation (reserve alkalinity).
  • a reserve alkalinity may be obtained by incorporating compounds which buffer at pH's of from about 8 to 11, such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine or triethanolamine.
  • compositions of the present invention are also essentially free of oily hydrocarbon materials and solvents, such as mineral oil, paraffin oil and kerosene, since these materials, which are themselves oily by nature, load the washing liquor with excessive oily material, thereby diminishing the cleaning effectiveness of the compositions.
  • oily hydrocarbon materials and solvents such as mineral oil, paraffin oil and kerosene
