Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19726287A1] The invention relates to a method for washing clothes, in particular working clothes. The clothes are washed in a washing machine of the type commonly used in industrial laundries, using a combination of products comprising at least two components: (A) a washing alkali component containing (A1) an anionic surfactant and a water-soluble silicate, and/or (A2) an alkali hydroxide and (A3) complex-forming agents; and (B) a surfactant component preferably containing a nonionic surfactant. After washing, the wastewater is treated in a membrane filtering system. Unlike known agents, the inventive product combination comprising components A and B does not negatively affect wastewater treatment in the membrane filtration system. In particular, it does not block the membranes.
