US 10,093,884 B2 · Peroxide-free polymer and surfactant liquid laundry additive compositions

Abstract

Treatment compositions for use in laundry capable of effectively removing stains better than detergent alone, and which can be used both through the wash and as a pre-treatment. As a pre-treatment, the compositions remove stains “right before your eyes”. The compositions may be free of oxidizing agents so as to be safe for use on a wide variety of fabrics and dyes. The composition may include one or more alkoxylate surfactants and a polymeric anti-redeposition agent selected from the group consisting of an ethoxylated polyethyleneimine polymer, and an acrylate copolymer. The composition may be free of enzymes, ether sulfate surfactants, and alkylene oxide (“EO” and “PO”) sulfate surfactants.
