The present invention relates generally to cleaning compositions and, more specifically, to cleaning compositions containing a polyetheramine that is suitable for removal of stains from soiled materials. A cleaning composition comprises from 1% to 70% by weight of a surfactant; and from 0.1% to 10% of a polyetheramine of Formula (I), Formula (II), a mixture thereof. wherein each of R 1 -R 12 is independently selected from H, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, or arylalkyl, wherein at least one of R 1 - R 6 and at least one of R 7 -R 12 is different from H, each of A 1 -A 9 is independently selected from linear or branched alkylenes having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, each of Z 1 -Z 4 is independently selected from OH, CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 , NH 2 , NHR', or NR'R", where the degree of amination is less than 50%, where R' and R" are independently selected from alkylenes having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, wherein the sum of x+y is in the range of 2 to 200, wherein x>l and y≥l, and the sum of x 1 + y 1 is in the range of 2 to 200, wherein X 1 > = 1 and y 1 > = 1. |
