Patent ID: 8093202

Claim:
A laundry detergent or cleaning composition which comprises a polymer system that comprises: a) one or more amphiphilic alkoxylated grease cleaning polymers comprising a core structure and a plurality of alkoxylate groups, wherein: the core structure may comprise: i) a polyalkylenimine structure comprising, in condensed form, repeating units of formulae (I), (II), (III) and (IV): wherein # in each case denotes one-half of a bond between a nitrogen atom and the free binding position of a group A 1 of two adjacent repeating units of formulae (I), (II), (III) or (IV); * in each case denotes one-half of a bond to one of the alkoxylate groups; and A 1 is independently selected from linear or branched C 2 -C 6 -alkylene; wherein the polyalkylenimine structure consists of 1 repeating unit of formula (I), x repeating units of formula (II), y repeating units of formula (III) and y+1 repeating units of formula (IV), wherein x and y in each case have a value in the range of from 0 to about 150; where the average weight average molecular weight, Mw, of the polyalkylenimine core structure is a value in the range of from about 60 to about 10,000 g/mol; or ii) a polyalkanolamine structure of the condensation products of at least one compound selected from N-(hydroxyalkyl)amines of formulae (I.a) and/or (I.b), wherein A are independently selected from C 1 -C 6 -alkylene; R 1 , R 1 *, R 2 , R 2 *, R 3 , R 3 *, R 4 , R 4 *, R 5 and R 5 * are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, wherein the last three mentioned radicals may be optionally substituted; and R 6 is selected from hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl, wherein the last three mentioned radicals may be optionally substituted; and the plurality of alkylenoxy groups are independently selected from alkylenoxy units of the formula (V) * A 2 —O m CH 2 —CH 2 —O n A 3 —O p R (V) wherein: * in each case denotes one-half of a bond to the nitrogen atom of the repeating unit of formula (I), (II) or (IV); A 2 is in each case independently selected from 1,2-propylene, 1,2-butylene and 1,2-isobutylene; A 3 is 1,2-propylene; R is in each case independently selected from hydrogen and C 1 -C 4 -alkyl; m has an average value in the range of from 0 to about 2; n has an average value in the range of from about 20 to about 50; and p has an average value in the range of from about 10 to about 50, and either b) a clay soil cleaning polymer; or c) a soil suspending polymer.
