Abstract
Compositions for treating fabric articles, especially articles of clothing, linens and drapery, wherein the compositions provide improved cleaning of soils from and/or care of and/or treatment of fabric articles, especially while providing superior garment care for articles sensitive to water as compared to conventional fabric article treating compositions, are provided.
Claims23
A fabric article treating composition comprising:
- a) a lipophilic fluid comprising a cyclic siloxane;
- b) an antimicrobial agent;
- c) a surfactant component capable of enhancing soil removal benefits of a lipophilic fluid and/or capable of suspending water in a lipophilic fluid;
- d) optionally, a non-silicone additive capable of further enhancing soil removal by the composition;
- e) optionally, a polar solvent;
- and
- f) optionally, other cleaning adjuncts,
- wherein the surfactant component comprises at least one nonionic surfactant and at least one siloxane-based surfactant.
The fabric article treating composition according to claim 15, wherein said nitrogen-containing organic material is chosen from primary, secondary, tertiary amines, diamines, triamines, ethoxylated amines, amine oxides, amides, betaines, quaternary ammonium salts and mixtures thereof.
A consumable detergent composition comprising:
- a) a surfactant component comprising at least one nonionic surfactant and at least one siloxane-based surfactant;
- b) an antimicrobial agent;
- c) optionally, a non-silicone additive capable of enhancing soil removal by the composition;
- d) optionally, a polar solvent;
- e) optionally, other cleaning adjuncts;
- and
- f) optionally, lipophilic fluid;
- wherein the composition is capable of suspending water in a lipophilic fluid.
