Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0034427A1] A non-bleaching laundry detergent composition comprises surfactant, builder, and optionally other non-bleach detergent ingredients, and also contains from 0.05 to 2.5 wt.% of iminodisuccinate (IDS) or hydroxyiminodisuccinate (HIDS). The composition provides improved maintenance and/or restoration of colour fidelity during the wash, especially at low wash pH. The IDS or HIDS is also an effective chlorine scavenger, reducing the in-wash fading of chlorine-sensitive dyes. In addition, the incorporation of the IDS or HIDS improves the stain removal performance of the composition.
