Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of laundering fabric onto which a quaternary ammonium fabric softening compound has been deposited and dried.
  • Cationic rinse conditioners are known to exhaust almost completely onto fabrics during the rinsing process. It is known, for example from " Liquid detergents", published 2006, CRC press page 490 , that anionic surfactants will complex with cationic actives and that the resulting complex may deposit onto fabrics and, as a result, the stain removal performance of detergent products comprising anionic surfactant may be reduced. At lower in-wash surfactant levels it is expected that this loss of performance will become more significant. This expectation is supported by the teaching in WO93/018124 (P&G) which, although relating mainly to granular detergent compositions, should be expected to apply also to liquids because the effect occurs in-wash.
  • P&G WO93/018124
  • WO93/018124 claims a detergent composition comprising low levels (5% to 10% combined weight) of a combination of water soluble alkyl ethoxysulphate anionic surfactant and alkyl sulphate anionic surfactant in combination at specific weight ratios.
  • this document discloses "robust detergency performance", of the composition even in the presence of cationic fabric softener components in the wash solution, the examples use an imidazoline based cationic fabric conditioner and show reduced yellowing (whiteness loss) rather than improved soil (stain) removal. It is well documented that imidazoline actives have yellowing issues (see. Levinson. J. Surfactants and Detergents vol 2 (2) 223-235 (see table 4 p230)).
  • WO2009/153184 describes a method of laundering fabrics that uses very low levels of in-wash surfactant, preferably comprising anionic surfactant. Wash performance is boosted by inclusion of high levels of specific polymers and enzymes. The skilled person would expect that compositions delivering such low in-wash levels of anionic surfactant would be more affected by the carry over of cationic on the fabric from previous washes/rinses than compositions and laundry processes which deliver higher levels of in-wash anionic surfactant.
  • Fabric conditioner is widely used by consumers. It would be advantageous to identify a washing composition that could be used in a laundry detergent process such that the wash performance is less compromised by previous use of a fabric conditioner.
  • a method of laundering fabric onto which a cationic fabric softening active has been deposited and dried comprising the step of contacting the fabric with an aqueous wash liquor having the following composition:
  • the level of non-soap surfactant (a) is from 200 to 400 ppm.
  • the non-soap surfactant (a) comprises at least 50 ppm of anionic surfactant.
  • the EPEI is nonionic.
  • the cationic fabric softening active is preferably a quaternary ammonium compound.
  • the polyester soil release polymer (c) is preferably nonionic and most preferably comprises a polyester substantive midblock of terephthalate repeat units and one or more end blocks of polyethylene glycol capped with a lower alkyl or hydrogen moiety.
  • the wash liquor may be formed by dosing 15 to 40 ml of an aqueous liquid detergent composition to water and diluting by a factor of at least 600.
  • the non-soap surfactant most preferably comprises linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS), sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES) and ethoxylated fatty alcohol nonionic, even more preferably the non-soap surfactant further comprises carbobetaine.
  • LAS linear alkyl benzene sulphonate
  • SLES sodium lauryl ether sulphate
  • ethoxylated fatty alcohol nonionic even more preferably the non-soap surfactant further comprises carbobetaine.
  • the low surfactant composition used in this method may still suffer a reduction in detergency performance on some stains when the load to be washed has been pre-exposed to rinse conditioner.
  • this reduction is much smaller relative to the losses noted for prior art detergent liquids used at their recommended doses. This is surprising because it was expected that higher detergent levels would lead to less effect and lowering of the in-wash detergent levels, particularly anionic detergent levels would increase any problems caused by cationic rinse conditioner carry over.
  • a concentrated laundry liquid with lower than expected levels of surfactant is used as described in WO2009/153184 .
  • a low volume, less than 25 ml and preferably around 20 ml of the concentrated liquid is dosed to a wash load and diluted with water to form the wash liquor for use in the process.
  • suitable compositions for use in the process according to the invention may comprise the ingredients described below at the levels detailed below.
  • compositions for use in the method of the invention comprise detersive surfactant.
  • the non soap detersive surfactant makes up at least 10 wt% of the liquid composition, preferably it makes up from 12 to 60 wt%.
  • the compositions for use according to the invention most preferably have total active detersive surfactant levels of at least 15 wt%.
  • compositions are used in small doses that require them to be diluted in at least 500 times their own volume of water to form a main-wash liquor comprising at most 0.5 g/I surfactant.
  • They may be concentrated compositions designed for front loading automatic washing machines, hand washing or top loading automatic washing machines. In hand washing less water may be used and in top loading automatic washing machines a higher amount of water would normally be used than fro a front loading automatic machine.
  • the dose of detergent liquid is adjusted accordingly to give similar wash liquor concentrations.
