IONIZABLE POLYMER CLEANING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CLEANING STAINS

摘要

Disclosed are cleaning compositions useful on oil and grease stains wherein the cleaning compositions generally consist of an ionizable polymer and a nonionic surfactant and/or solvent(s). The cleaning compositions also contemplate the use of a more specific class of such ionizable polymers: the pH independent ionizable polymers and a nonionic surfactant and/or an organic solvent. Further disclosed are methods for cleaning stains from a surface or fabric by contacting the surface or fabric with such various cleaning compositions. Further disclosed are methods of pretreating a stain on a fabric which entails contacting the stain with the composition and washing the fabric in an aqueous solution of a laundry detergent.
