| abstract |
The invention concerns a soil-repellent finishing agent (A), such as i.e. an agent containing polysiloxane for the soiling-inhibiting finishing for textile surfaces, particularly textile floor surfaces, optionally as a constituent of a carpet cleaning product, the product also containing a wetting agent (N) and/or an antistatic agent. The aim of the invention is to achieve, with the same proportion as contained in prior art products of soiling-inhibiting finishing agents such a polysiloxane in the cleaning product, an improvement in the soil-repellent action or, with a reduced proportion compared to that contained in the prior art of the finishing agent in the cleaning product, an at least identical soil-repellent action. To this end, the invention provides that the wetting agent (N) and/or antistatic agent is used as a cationic surfactant. |
