## Abstract

Cleaning booster for cleaning dirty laundry is provided, wherein the cleaning booster is of formula (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 a C1-2 alkyl group, with the proviso that at least one of R8 and R9 is hydrogen in each subunit a; and wherein a is 0-30.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cleaning booster for cleaning dirty laundry, 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 cleaning booster of claim 1, 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 3 (depends on 2)
