Detergent composition containing combination of nonionic polysaccharide ether with synthetic oxyalkylene-containing soil release agent

摘要

Detergent compositions comprise the combination of nonionic polysaccharide ethers having an average degree of polymerisation of 100 or more with a synthetic soil release agent having a molecular weight of less than 10000. This combination provides improved soil release performance and clay soil removal and antiredeposition performance. The polysaccharide ether may be a pentose or hexose and is preferably a cellulose, dextran or starch ether, most preferably a C1-4 alkyl cellulose ether. The synthetic soil release agent may be based on a polyester with terephthalate groups and at least one sulphoisophthalate unit.
