Composition containing a photoactivator for improved washing and bleaching of fabrics.

摘要

Combined washing and bleaching of fabrics is accomplished by use of a composition comprising a surfactant and a photoactivator. The photoactivator is a porphine or a mono-, di-, tri-, or tetraaza porphine, solubilized with anionic, nonionic and/or cationic substituent groups, and metal free or metallated with Zn(II), Ca(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sc(III), Al(III) or Sn(IV).
