Abstract
A process for decreasing the build-up of inorganic incrustations on textiles deriving from water hardness and due to repeated washing cycles with detergent compositions comprises the addition to the washing bath of a non-reducing carbohydrate and/or non-reducing carbohydrate derivative as co-builder.
Claims8
In a process for decreasing the build-up of inorganic incrustations on fabrics and on washing machine components during multiple fabric washing cycles carried out by a detergent composition comprising surfactants, an inorganic persalt, and a zeolite builder, the improvement comprising the addition to the washing cycle of a combination of the detergent composition with a co-builder selected from the group consisting of non-reducing or hydrogenated sugar alcohols having the general formula HOCH.sub.2 (CHOH).sub.n CH.sub.2 OH, where n has a value from 2 to 5.
In a process for decreasing the build-up of inorganic incrustations on fabrics and on washing machine components during multiple fabric washing cycles carried out by a detergent composition comprising surfactants, an inorganic persalt, and a zeolite builder, the improvement comprising the addition to the washing cycle of a combination of the detergent composition with sucrose as a co-builder.
