Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for cleaning and / or conditioning textile fabrics in which the moist fabrics to be cleaned and / or conditioned are brought into contact with a formulation comprising fibers and a detergent composition.
  • the invention also relates to a kit comprising ingredients of the formulation.
  • a washing process which comprises treating soiled laundry by contacting the laundry with a formulation comprising a plurality of polymer particles.
  • the polymer particles contain synthetic raw materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, polyurethanes and polyamides.
  • Cellulose carbamates are products of the reaction between cellulose and urea.
  • the two reaction partners are ecologically harmless or based on renewable resources.
  • the cellulose carbamate has a DS carbamate degree of substitution of from 0.01 to 1, preferably from 0.05 to 0.7, and most preferably from 0.1 to 0.5.
  • Fibers comprising cellulose carbamates with DS carbamate substitution degree of 0.01 to 1 have good stain removal properties. Particularly good stain removal can be achieved with fibers comprising cellulose carbamates having a degree of substitution DS carbamate of from 0.1 to 0.5.
  • the fibers comprising cellulose carbamate after completion of the washing and / or conditioning process on its surface is less colored or dirty.
  • the significantly cleaner appearance of the fibers gives the consumer less inhibition to reuse the fibers.
  • H 2 O 2 which is an inexpensive bleaching agent compared to other bleaching agents such as percarbonates or perborates, can be used in the process.
  • hydrogen peroxide is used in aqueous solution, so that the bleaching agent does not have to dissolve during the washing process. It also distributes it more evenly in the formulation.
  • the hydrogen peroxide may be incorporated separately, incorporated in the detergent composition, applied to the fibers and / or absorbed by the fibers in the process.
  • a rinse cycle is not required. This means, conversely, that some ingredients of the detergent remain on the textile fabrics.
  • the detergent composition it may be advantageous for the detergent composition to be free of enzymes.
  • the detergent composition may be applied separately, applied to the fibers and / or absorbed by the fibers in the process.
  • the fibers consist of cellulose carbamate.
  • Fibers which are formed only from cellulose carbamate, have a particularly high cleaning performance in the method according to the invention.
  • the fibers may be arranged randomly or for the fibers to be used in the form of a fleece.
  • the fibers are used in an arbitrary arrangement, for example in the form of flakes, the fibers have a high mobility and can thus come into close contact with the textile fabrics to be cleaned.
  • Nonwovens comprising cellulose carbamate-containing fibers can be applied specifically to stains which can be found on the textile fabrics.
  • the method according to the invention can be applied to a large number of textile fabrics. It can be used for example in all natural and synthetic fabric fibers, although it is particularly advantageous for textile fabrics of polyamide, polyester and cotton is applied.
  • the textile fabrics to be treated are moistened with water, in particular to improve the transport of dirt particles to the fibers.
  • moistening the fabrics also entails transport of the ingredients of the detergent composition and H 2 O 2 , if present the fibers on the textile fabrics improved.

  • Arbitrarily arranged fibers for example in the form of flakes, have good mobility and thus close contact with the textile fabrics.
  • the fibers comprising cellulose carbamate may also be arranged in other conceivable forms such as spheres, cubes, cuboids, cones, truncated cones, pyramids or cylinders.
  • Nonwovens are textile fabrics in which the surface formation does not take place by weaving or knitting, but by entanglement of the fibers with subsequent fixation.
  • web formation is possible from short fibers, staple fibers or continuous filaments.
