Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a powder detergent composition and a method for cleaning textile products. [Background technology]

[0002] There are two main methods for washing textile products such as clothing: hand washing and washing in a washing machine. In recent years, washing machines have become popular in Asia, and drum-type washing machines are becoming more and more popular. In Asia, in order to remove sebum stains and yellowing from soiled clothing, particularly white shirts such as school uniforms, the clothes are soaked in a powder detergent composition and then hand-washed before being washed in a washing machine.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a cleaning composition containing a percarbonate, a compound represented by general formula (I) or (II), and a surfactant, the cleaning composition having an available oxygen concentration of 0.5 to 5 ppm and an organic peracid concentration of 1 to 20 ppm after 1 minute when 25 g of the composition is dissolved in 30 liters of water at 20°C. US Pat. No. 5,399,633 discloses a granular detergent composition containing an oligomeric or low molecular weight polymeric ester composition that is useful as a soil release agent.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2000-129290 A [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 03-169847 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Soaking in a powder detergent composition and hand washing before washing in a washing machine is physically and mentally tiring work, and there is a demand for a powder detergent composition that can wash out sebum stains and yellowing on clothes soiled in a washing machine, particularly white shirts such as school uniforms, to a white state without soaking or hand washing. Generally, in order to impart high detergency to a powder detergent composition, it is necessary to increase the surfactant content, but when a drum-type washing machine is used, an increase in the surfactant content raises concerns about foam overflow in the washing tub, and therefore it is necessary to reduce the surfactant content in the powder detergent composition. There is a demand for a powder detergent composition that is excellent in detergency for sebum stains and bleaching for yellowing while suppressing foam overflow in a drum-type washing machine, and is suited to the widespread use of drum-type washing machines in Asia.

[0006] The present invention provides a powder detergent composition which can suppress foam overflow even when a drum-type washing machine is used, and which has excellent cleaning properties for sebum stains and excellent bleaching properties for yellowing adhered to textile products when washed in a washing machine, and a method for cleaning textile products. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention relates to a powder detergent composition containing from 5.0% by mass to 20.0% by mass of the following component (a), from 1.0% by mass to 20.0% by mass of the following component (b), and from 0.1% by mass to 5.0% by mass of the following component (c): Component (a): A surfactant containing one or more anionic surfactants selected from polyoxyalkylene alkyl or alkenyl ether sulfate esters, α-sulfofatty acid esters, and salts thereof (hereinafter referred to as component (a11)), in which the content of component (a11) in component (a) is 20 mass% or more (however, component (c) is excluded). Ingredient (b): Percarbonate Component (c): Alkanoyl or alkenoyloxybenzenesulfonic acid, or a salt thereof

[0008] The present invention also relates to a method for cleaning textile products, which comprises cleaning the textile products with a cleaning liquid comprising a mixture of the powder detergent composition of the present invention and water. Effect of the Invention
