Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition that comprises a surfactant system comprising at least one anionic surfactant, at least one amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactant and keratin. The invention further relates to methods for washing of textiles using the detergents of the invention.
- Liquid detergent compositions are well-known in the art and widely used. Over recent years, the have become more and more popular with the consumers because they offer a number of advantages over solid compositions, including, for example, the ease of dosing, dispensing and dissolving into a laundering liquor. In addition, they are perceived to be safer and less harsh to the textiles and environment compared to solid compositions. In particular for laundering colored fabrics they have gained popularity ever since their introduction on the market.
- In particular for washing colored fabrics, in particular black fabrics, it is important that the color is preserved during multiple washing cycles. Current widely available and market dominating powder detergents negatively impact both the color of the garments as well as fabric durability which is technically reflected by tensile strength loss.
- There is thus need in the art for liquid detergent compositions that satisfy the consumers' needs with respect to textile color preservation while at the same time having fabric care properties that allow maintaining fabric durability and elasticity for multiple washing cycles.
- It has now been found by the inventors that a liquid detergent composition that comprises a surfactant system comprising anionic surfactants and betaines in combination with keratin provide good fabric and color care and additionally maintaining fabric tensile strength.
