Abstract

Detergent compositions containing low levels of substituted polyamines are disclosed. The polyamines are substituted by one long chain alkyl or alkenyl group and by at least two alkylene oxide radicals attached to different nitrogens. Preferred compositions produce a laundry liquor pH in the range from 8.5-12.0; and frequently contain water-soluble or water-insoluble detergent builders. These compositions exhibit a broad range of textile treatment benefits particularly enhanced soil release and cleaning properties.
