Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
47 words
A process for decreasing the build up of inorganic incrustations on fabrics and on washing machine components during multiple washing cycles characterized by the addition to the washing cycle of a co-builder based on a carbohydrate or carbohydrate derivative having a DE of 0.5 to 20 inclusive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process according to Claim 1, characterized in that the carbohydrate or carbohydrate derivative is a maltodextrin.
