cleaning surfactant; and cleaning booster of formula (I) (I) wherein b is 0-2; wherein c is 2-4; wherein R is selected from hydrogen, C1-22 alkyl and —CH2C(═O)R14; wherein R14 is of formula (VI); wherein R1 is selected from formula (II)-formula (V); (II) wherein R2 is of formula (VI); (III) wherein R3 is of formula (VI); and wherein R4 is selected from hydrogen and methyl group; (IV) wherein R5 is of formula (VI); wherein f is 1-2; and wherein g is 2-10; (V) wherein R6 is of formula (VI); (VI) wherein R7 is selected from hydrogen and C1-22 alkyl group; wherein each R8 and R9 is independently a hydrogen or C1-2 alkyl group, with the proviso that at least one of R8 and R9 is hydrogen in each subunit α; and wherein α is 0-30. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A liquid laundry detergent formulation, comprising: a liquid carrier; a cleaning surfactant; and a cleaning booster, wherein the cleaning booster is of formula (I) wherein b is 0 to 2; wherein c is 2 to 4; wherein each R is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen, a C1-22 alkyl group and a —CH2C(═O)R14 group; wherein R14 is of formula (VI); and wherein each R1 is independently selected from the group consisting of formula (II), formula (III), formula (IV) and formula (V); wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to formula (I); wherein each R2 is independently of formula (VI); wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to formula (I); wherein each R3 is independently according to formula (VI); and wherein each R4 is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a methyl group; wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to formula (I); wherein each R5 is independently according to formula (VI); wherein f is 1 to 2; and wherein g is 2 to 10; wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to formula (I); and wherein each R6 is independently according to formula (VI); wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to the associated base formula; wherein R7 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a C1-22 alkyl group; wherein each R8 and R9 is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a C1-2 alkyl group, with the proviso that at least one of R8 and R9 is a hydrogen in each subunit a; and wherein a is 0 to 30. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The liquid laundry detergent formulation, of claim 1, wherein the liquid laundry detergent formulation comprises 25 to 97.9 wt %, based on weight of the liquid laundry detergent formulation, of the liquid carrier; 2 to 60 wt %, based on weight of the liquid laundry detergent formulation, of the cleaning surfactant; and 0.1 to 15 wt %, based on weight of the liquid laundry detergent formulation, of the cleaning booster. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 2, wherein the liquid carrier comprises water. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 3, wherein a is 2 to 30 in an average of 70 to 100 mol % of the occurrences of formula (VI) in the cleaning booster. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 3, wherein the cleaning booster of formula (I) is of formula (Ia) wherein x is 0 to 2; wherein each R10 is independently of formula (VI). ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 5, wherein an average of 70 to 100 mol % of the R10 groups in the cleaning booster are of formula (VIa) R11—O—[CH2CH(R12)O]y—* (VIa) wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to formula (Ia); wherein R11 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a C1-22 alkyl group; wherein each R12 is independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a C1-2 alkyl group; and wherein y is 2 to 30. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 5, wherein an average of 70 to 100 mol % of the R10 groups in the cleaning booster are of formula (VIb) R13—O—(EO)h—(PO)i—(EO)j—* (VIb) wherein the * indicates the point of attachment to formula (Ia); wherein R13 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen and a C1-12 alkyl group; wherein EO is an ethylene oxide group; wherein PO is a propylene oxide group; wherein h is 0 to 30; wherein i is 0 to 30; wherein j is 0 and 30; and wherein h+i+j is 2 to 30. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 7, wherein x is 1. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The liquid laundry detergent formulation of claim 8, wherein R13 is a C1-4 alkyl group; wherein h is 0 to 1; wherein i is 2 to 5; and j is 2 to 6. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A method of washing a fabric article, comprising: providing a soiled fabric article; providing a liquid laundry detergent formulation according to claim 1; providing a wash water; and applying the wash water and the liquid laundry detergent formulation to the soiled fabric to provide a cleaned fabric article.
