Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a method for washing textile products and a kit for washing textile products. [Background technology]

[0002] When washing textile products using detergent compositions for textile products, consumers desire not only good cleaning performance but also a strong lingering fragrance on the washed textile products. However, if consumers continue to smell the same fragrance composition attached to the textile products, their sensitivity decreases significantly due to habituation, making it difficult to maintain a high level of lingering fragrance that satisfies consumers.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-529675 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-23299 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0005] The present invention provides a method for washing textile products, and a textile product washing kit, that allows users to perceive different scents among textile products after washing them in a single wash cycle when the textile products are stacked in a washing machine tub. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention relates to a method for washing textile products using a washing machine, in which one or more packets each from packets A and B are placed in a washing tub where textile products are stacked, such that packets A and B are in different positions in the direction of stacking the textile products, and then the products are washed. Small bag A: A small bag containing a fragrance composition (hereinafter referred to as (a1) component) containing a fragrance compound, which contains detergent composition A. Small bag B: A small bag containing a fragrance composition (hereinafter referred to as component (a2)) that contains a fragrance compound different from component (a1), and containing detergent composition B.

[0007] The present invention also relates to a kit for washing textile products, comprising one or more of the aforementioned pouches A and B. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, when washing textile products stacked in a washing machine tub, a method for washing textile products and a textile product washing kit are provided that allows users to perceive different scents among the textile products after washing, even with a single washing cycle. The present invention provides a method for washing textile products and a textile product washing kit that allows consumers to perceive different scents between textile products after a single washing. This prevents consumers from becoming accustomed to the same fragrance composition attached to the textile products, thus maintaining a high level of lingering fragrance that satisfies consumers. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] [[Washing method of textile products]] The reason why the washing method of the textile products of the present invention can feel different scents between the washed textile products in one-time washing of the textile products is not necessarily clear, but it is presumed as follows. When using a washing machine, in a washing tub with stacked textile products, a detergent composition A containing a perfume composition containing a perfume compound (a1) (hereinafter referred to as component (a1)) and a detergent composition B containing a perfume composition containing a perfume compound different from component (a1) (hereinafter referred to as component (a2)) are put in such a way that the detergent composition A and the detergent composition B are at different positions in the stacking direction of the textile products and washed, in the washing liquid, since the perfume compositions of component (a1) and component (a2) are mixed and then adsorbed onto the textile products, different scents cannot be felt between the washed textile products. On the other hand, in the washing method of the textile products of the present invention, a sachet A containing the detergent composition A containing component (a1) and a sachet B containing the detergent composition B containing component (a2) are separately divided, and the sachet A and the sachet B are put into the washing tub so as to be at different positions in the stacking direction of the textile products and washed. In that case, the put sachets A and B collapse due to the inter-fabric shear force of the textile products, and the contained detergent compositions are released, but it is presumed that different scents can be felt between the washed textile products because the perfume compositions of component (a1) and component (a2) are locally adsorbed onto the textile products respectively before being mixed in the washing liquid.

[0010] The washing method of the textile products of the present invention uses a washing machine, and in a washing tub with stacked textile products, one or more are taken from each of the sachet A and the sachet B and put in such a way that the sachet A and the sachet B are at two or more different positions in the stacking direction of the textile products and washed.

[0011] As methods for putting pouch A and pouch B into the washing tub, there are methods of putting them respectively at any two or more different positions, such as the lower part (between the washing tub and the stacked textile products), the upper part (above the stacked textile products), and between the stacked textile products of the textile products stacked in the washing tub. One or more of each of pouch A and pouch B are put so as to be at different positions among the lower part, the upper part, and between the stacked textile products of the textile products where pouch A and pouch B are stacked. As the order of putting, after stacking textile products in the washing tub in advance, there are methods of putting each of pouches A and B so as to be at different positions among the lower part, the upper part, and between the stacked textile products of the textile products where pouch A and pouch B are stacked, or methods of alternately putting each of pouches A and B and the textile products into the washing tub and putting each of pouches A and B so as to be at different positions among the lower part, the upper part, and between the stacked textile products of the textile products where pouch A and pouch B are stacked.

[0012] The method of putting water into the washing tub is not particularly limited and may be before, after, or at the same time as putting each of pouches A and B and the textile products into the washing tub. From the viewpoint of further enhancing the effects of the present invention, it is preferable to put water after putting each of pouches A and B and the textile products into the washing tub.

[0013] Also, as another method for putting pouch A and pouch B, in the washing tub in which textile products are stacked, each of pouch A or B and water are alternately put to change the water level in the washing tub and put each of pouch A or B between the stacked textile products located on the water surface or at the upper part (only when the upper part is located on the water surface), so that pouch A and pouch B are put at different positions in the stacking direction of the textile products.

[0014] From the viewpoint of the uniformity of the arrangement in the washing tub, each of pouches A and B is preferably put at positions separated from each other by 10 cm or more, more preferably 15 cm or more, still more preferably 20 cm or more, and preferably 40 cm or less, more preferably 30 cm or less, still more preferably 25 cm or less in the stacking direction of the textile products in the washing tub.

[0015] From the viewpoint of uniformity of placement within the washing tub, each of the small bags A and B should be placed in the washing tub at two or more, preferably three or more, more preferably four or more, and preferably five or fewer different positions in the direction in which the textile products are stacked, with each bag being in a different position.

[0016] Each of the small bags A and B can be placed in two or more different locations on the textile products, regardless of their horizontal position (perpendicular to the stacking direction of the textile products), as long as they are on the textile products. Each small bag A or B may be placed in two or more different locations horizontally, at the same position in the stacking direction of the textile products. However, each small bag A and B must be placed in two or more different locations in the stacking direction of the textile products, and each small bag A and B must not be placed in the same position in the stacking direction of the textile products. When each small bag A or B is placed in two or more different locations horizontally, from the viewpoint of uniformity of placement in the washing tub, each small bag A or B should be placed in the washing tub at a distance of preferably 10 cm or more, more preferably 15 cm or more, even more preferably 20 cm or more, and preferably 40 cm or less, more preferably 30 cm or less, and even more preferably 25 cm or less from each other horizontally. From the viewpoint of uniformity of placement within the washing tub, each of the small bags A and B should be placed in the washing tub at a distance of preferably 10 cm or more, more preferably 15 cm or more, even more preferably 20 cm or more, and preferably 40 cm or less, more preferably 30 cm or less, and even more preferably 25 cm or less from each other in a straight line (regardless of the stacking direction or horizontal direction of the textile products).

[0017] A rotary washing machine is preferred as the washing machine used in the textile product washing method of the present invention. A rotary washing machine is a washing machine that performs a washing method in which textile products, which are not fixed to a rotating device, rotate around a rotating shaft together with the washing solution. Rotary washing machines include top-loading washing machines (pulsator type washing machines or agitator type washing machines) and drum-type washing machines. In the method for washing textile products according to the present invention, it is preferable to use a top-loading washing machine in order to enjoy the effects of the present invention.

[0019] The pouches A and B, which contain the detergent compositions A and B of the present invention, are preferably made of a water-soluble film. In this invention, a water-soluble film is defined as a film in which no insoluble material is visible after adding 500g of ion-exchanged water at 30°C to a 1-liter glass beaker, placing an 8cm diameter Teflon® stirring bar inside, adding 1g of the film to be evaluated, and stirring at 100rpm for 30 minutes.

[0020] Water-soluble films are preferably composed of polymers. Water-soluble films can be obtained by methods known in the art, such as casting, blow molding, extrusion, and injection molding of polymers. Non-limiting examples of polymers for producing water-soluble films include polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyalkylene oxides, (modified) cellulose, (modified) cellulose ethers or esters or amides, polycarboxylic acids such as polyacrylates and maleic acid / acrylic acid salt copolymers, polyamino acids i.e., peptides, polyamides such as polyacrylamide, polysaccharides such as starch and gelatin, and natural rubbers such as xanthan gum and carragum. Vinyl alcohol copolymers are copolymers of vinyl alcohol with other monomers, such as ethylene and acrylic acid. Preferably, the water-soluble film contains a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates and water-soluble acrylates, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrin, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, maltodextrin, polymethacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl alcohol copolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and combinations thereof. More preferably, the water-soluble film contains a polymer selected from polyvinyl alcohol, vinyl alcohol copolymer, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Even more preferably, the water-soluble film contains polyvinyl alcohol, for example, Solvron, available from Aicello Corporation. Suitable polymers for producing water-soluble films for pouches are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 6,995,126.

[0021] In the pouches A and B containing the detergent compositions A and B of the present invention, respectively, the total surface area of ​​the water-soluble film in contact with the detergent composition A or B of the present invention is preferably 2 cm², from the viewpoint of further enhancing product stability. 2 More than 5cm 2 More preferably 7 cm 2 More preferably 15 cm 2From the above, and from the same viewpoint, preferably 100 cm 2 More preferably 70cm 2 Further preferably 60 cm 2 More preferably, 45 cm 2 The following applies:

[0022] The pouches A and B, each containing the detergent compositions A and B of the present invention, can be manufactured by any suitable process known in the art, such as a known detergent pouch manufacturing process. Examples of pouch manufacturing processes are described in U.S. Patents 6,995,126, 7,127,874, 8,156,713, 7,386,971, 7,439,215, and U.S. Patent Application Publication 2009 / 199877.

It is generally expressed in the form of its logarithm logP with respect to base 10. Today, the value of "calculated logP (sometimes called ClogP)", which is calculated by a calculation program that uses the fragment value of the atomic group determined by the number of atoms constituting the compound molecule and the type of chemical bond, is widely used, and in this invention as well, the value of ClogP is used when selecting compounds. In this invention, the ClogP value is calculated using the EPI Suite (registered trademark; The Estimations Programs Interface for Windows version 4.11), software jointly developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Syracuse.

The total surface area of ​​the water-soluble film in contact with the cleaning agent composition was 30cm². 2 That was the case.

[0090] <Fragrance Evaluation> In the washing tub of a top-loading washing machine (Panasonic Corporation, NA-F70PB1), small bag A was placed at the bottom for Examples 1-6, and detergent composition A was placed for Comparative Examples 1 and 2. After placing the bags, cotton T-shirts (Gunze Corporation) were stacked on top of each other in the washing tub. At a position 15 cm away from the bottom of the stacked cotton T-shirts (the bottom of the washing tub) in the direction of stacking, small bag B was placed for Examples 1-6, and detergent composition B was placed for Comparative Examples 1 and 2. After placing the bags, more cotton T-shirts were stacked on top, and 2 kg of cotton T-shirts were placed in the washing tub to fill it. The mass ratio of detergent composition A and detergent composition B (detergent composition A / detergent composition B) was 1.0. 20 liters of water were added to adjust the cleaning solution so that the concentration of the detergent composition was 1 g / L, and the machine was washed on a speed cycle (wash time 3 minutes, rinse time 3 minutes, spin-dry time 7 minutes). After washing, the cotton T-shirts at the bottom of the stack in the washing machine drum, and the cotton T-shirts located 15 cm away from the bottom in the direction of stacking, were removed and dried overnight in a constant temperature and humidity room at 20°C and 65% RH. A sensory evaluation was conducted on the dried cotton T-shirts. Ten panelists (experts with more than three years of experience in sensory evaluation of fragrance intensity) evaluated whether they could perceive different fragrances in two cotton T-shirts taken from each example and comparative example. Table 1 shows the number of panelists who were able to detect different scents from the two cotton T-shirts taken out for each example and comparative example. The more panelists who were able to detect a strong scent, the more likely it is that different scents can be detected between textile products after washing.
