Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid bleach detergent composition, and more particularly to a liquid bleach detergent composition suitable for textile products such as clothing.

  Liquid bleaching agents for clothing are broadly divided into chlorine and oxygen types. Since oxygen is based on hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching base, it has a better odor and can be used for colored patterns. In addition, since it can be applied directly and easily against stain stains, it is currently widely used.

  These oxygen-based liquid bleaches are known to generate gas by decomposition of hydrogen peroxide during storage.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a residential liquid detergent composition containing hydrogen peroxide, a surfactant, and an organic acid.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a liquid bleach detergent composition for removing tea stains attached to tableware, which contains hydrogen peroxide, a surfactant and glycolic acid.

  In addition, oxygen-based bleaching agents usually cannot produce a bleaching effect unless they are used in combination with a detergent (alkaline agent), but a pH jump technique is known in which the effect is exhibited even when used alone. .

Patent Document 3 discloses a liquid bleach detergent composition containing hydrogen peroxide, a surfactant, and a pH jump base (boron compound and polyhydric alcohol) with improved bleaching performance by pH jump technology. Yes.
