Patent ID: 6900172

Claim:
A method for providing extended suds and/or foam volume and suds and/or foam duration when cleaning a substrate surface in need of cleaning, comprising the step of contacting said substrate surface with an aqueous solution of a suds forming and/or suds extending composition, said composition comprising: a) an effective amount of an amino oxide monomer-containing polymeric suds enhancer having the formula: wherein y is either O or N, a is an integer from 1 to 10, and wherein said amino oxide monomer-containing polymeric suds enhancer has an average molecular weight of from about 1,000 to about 2000,000 daltons; b) an effective amount to clean a surface in need of cleaning of a detersive surfactant; and c) the balance carriers and other adjunct ingredients; provided that a 10% aqueous solution of said composition has a pH of from about 4 to about 12 and said substrate surface is a part of a person's body, a fabric, a garment, or a hard surface.
