Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of anionic gemini tensides of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are, mutually independently, a hydrocarbon radical with 1 to 22 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a spacer containing 0 to 100 alkoxy groups, and X and Y, mutually independently, are functional groups and the degree of substitution Z=1 to 10, in washing, cleaning and body care agents in which the proportion of said tensides amounts to at least 0.1%.
