Abstract

Agent for removing spots or deposits from hard or soft surfaces. The agent includes surfactants, an adhesion promoter, and at least one active substance, wherein the adhesion promoter is selected from the group of the alkylene-styrene copolymers, the olefin homopolymers or olefin copolymers of two or more olefins, wherein the polymers can also be hydrogenated, and the polyalkylene derivatives, the active substance is an acid, an alkali, a bleaching agent, and/or hydrophobic organic solvent not bound in a gel, and the agent includes either at least 10 wt % of at least one acid or at least 10 wt % of at least one alkali and/or at least 5 wt % of a bleaching agent and/or includes at least 10 wt % of hydrophobic organic solvent not bound in a gel.

Claims (26)

1. An agent for removing stains or deposits from hard or soft surfaces, which agent comprises:

a) from 25% by weight to 45% by weight surfactants;

b) an adhesion promoter which is a diblock or triblock alkylene styrene copolymer selected from the group consisting of styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymers (SBS), the styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer (SIS), the styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene copolymers (S-EB-S), the styrene-ethylene/propylene copolymers (S-EP), the styrene-ethylene/butylene copolymers (S-EB), the styrene-butadiene copolymers (SB) and styrene-isoprene copolymers (SI), wherein the alkylene styrene copolymers may also be hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated; and

c) an active substance selected from the group consisting of:

1) at least 10% by weight of at least one acid;

2) at least 10% by weight of at least one alkali;

3) at least 5% by weight of a bleach; and

4) at least 10% by weight of hydrophobic organic solvent not bonded in a gel, and mixtures thereof, wherein the agent has a water fraction of at most 5% by weight.

2. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the pH of a 1% solution of an acid-comprising agent is pH 2 or less.

3. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the pH of a 1% solution of an alkali-comprising agent is at least pH 9.

4. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the agent is pasty and has a viscosity of at least 30 Pa*s measured using a Haake viscometer, plate/plate system, plate diameter 10 mm, with a shear gradient of 2.62 s −1 and 20° C.

5. A method of removing stains from textiles in the armpit area or stains of blood, rust and soilings on top of calcifications, the method comprising applying to the stains the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 10% by weight of acid.

6. A method of removing deposits containing resin, oil, soot or grease from hard surfaces and/or for the etching of surfaces, the method comprising applying to the surfaces the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 50% by weight of alkalis.

7. A method of removing stains of cocoa/chocolate, shoe cream, lipstick, chewing gum, turmeric or other grease- or pigment-containing stains, the method comprising applying to the stains the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 10% of at least one alkali and at least 10% by weight of hydrophobic organic solvents.

8. A method of removing colored stains and red wine stains, the method comprising applying to the stains the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 10% by weight of a bleach.

9. A method of removing moss, the method comprising applying to the moss an agent as claimed in claim 1 .

10. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the pH of a 1% solution of an acid-comprising agent is at most pH 1.5.

11. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the pH of a 1% solution of an acid-comprising agent is at most pH 1.

12. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the pH of a 1% solution of an alkali-comprising agent is at least pH 10.

13. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the pH of a 1% solution of an alkali-comprising agent is at least 11.

14. The agent as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the agent is pasty and has a viscosity of at least 100 Pa*s measured using a Haake viscometer, plate/plate system, plate diameter 10 mm, with a shear gradient of 2.62 s −1 and 20° C.

15. A method of removing stains from textiles in the armpit area or stains of blood, rust and soilings on top of calcifications, the method comprising applying to the stains the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 20% by weight of acid.

16. A method of removing stains from textiles in the armpit area or stains of blood, rust and soilings on top of calcifications, the method comprising applying to the stains the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 30% by weight of acid.

17. A method of removing deposits containing resin, oil, soot or grease from hard surfaces and/or for the etching of surfaces, the method comprising applying to the surfaces the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 60% by weight of alkalis.

18. A method of removing deposits containing resin, oil, soot or grease from hard surfaces and/or for the etching of surfaces, the method comprising applying to the surfaces the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 70% by weight of alkalis.

19. A method of removing colored stains and red wine stains, the method comprising applying to the stains the agent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the agent comprises at least 10% by weight of a bleach, and the bleach is a peroxo compound.
