Abstract

The present invention relates generally to cleaning compositions and, more specifically, to cleaning compositions containing a cyclic amine that is suitable for removal of stains from soiled materials and a fabric-softening silicone.

Claims

1. A cleaning composition comprising:

from about 1% to about 70%, by weight of the composition, of a surfactant;

from about 0.1% to about 30%, preferably about 0.1% to about 15%, more preferably about 0.2% to about 12%, by weight of the composition, of a fabric-softening silicone; and

from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of a cyclic amine of Formula (I);

2. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein said cyclic amine is a diamine.

3. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein n is about 1.

4. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein R2 is NH2.

5. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein at least one of R1, R3, R4 and R5 is CH₃ and preferably the remaining radicals are H.

6. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cyclic amine of Formula (I) has a molecular weight of from about 100 to about 1,000 grams/mole.

7. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cyclic amine of Formula (I) has a molecular weight of from about 100 to about 450 grams/mole.

8. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cyclic amine of Formula (I) has a molecular weight of from about 100 to about 150 grams/mole.

9. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cleaning composition comprises from about 0.2% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of the cyclic amine of Formula (I).

10. The cleaning composition of claim 1 further comprising from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of an enzyme.

11. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said enzyme is selected from the group consisting of lipase, amylase, protease, mannanase, and combinations thereof.

12. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant comprises one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants.

13. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfate, alkyl alkoxy sulfate, alkyl benzene sulfonate, and mixtures thereof.

14. The cleaning composition of claim 1, further comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of an additional amine selected from polyetheramines, oligoamines, triamines, diamines, or a combination thereof.

15. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said fabric-softening silicone is an aminosilicone.

16. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said fabric-softening silicone is present as a nanoemulsion, wherein said nanoemulsion is characterized by a mean particle size of from about 10 nm to about 500 nm.

17. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant comprises an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfate, alkyl alkoxy sulfate, alkyl benzene sulfonate, and mixtures thereof and an amine oxide.

18. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant comprises a nonionic surfactant and an amine oxide.

19. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said surfactant comprises from about 1% to about 25%, preferably about 5% to about 25%, more preferably about 10% to about 25%, by weight of the cleaning composition, of a nonionic surfactant and an amine oxide.

20. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cleaning composition further comprises an adjunct selected from the group consisting of builders, structurants or thickeners, clay soil removal/anti-redeposition agents, polymeric soil release agents, polymeric dispersing agents, polymeric grease cleaning agents, encapsulates, enzymes, enzyme stabilizing systems, bleaching compounds, bleaching agents, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, brighteners, dyes, hueing agents, dye transfer inhibiting agents, chelating agents, suds supressors, softeners, perfumes, and mixtures thereof.

21. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cleaning composition further comprises an adjunct selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated polyalkylenimines, amphiphilic graft co-polymers, carboxylate polymers, and mixtures thereof.

22. A method of pretreating or treating a soiled fabric comprising contacting the soiled fabric with the cleaning composition of claim 1.

23. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein said cleaning composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 10%, preferably about 0.7% to about 9%, more preferably about 1% to about 5%, by weight of the composition, of a fabric-softening silicone.

24. A method of treating a textile, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) treating the textile with an aqueous solution of from about 0.1 g/L to about 3 g/L of a surfactant;

from about 10 ppm to about 300 ppm of a fabric-softening silicone; and

from about 0.1 ppm to about 500 ppm of a cyclic amine of Formula (I);
