This invention relates to fabric treatment compositions. The invention also relates to methods for treating fabrics in fabric treatment applications including domestic laundering to thereby provide improved fabric care.
When consumers launder fabrics, they desire not only excellence in cleaning, they also seek superior to impart superior fabric care benefits. Such care can be exemplified by one or more of reduction of wrinkles benefits; removal of wrinkles benefits; prevention of wrinkles benefits; fabric softness benefits; fabric feel benefits; garment shape retention benefits; garment shape recovery benefits; elasticity benefits; ease of ironing benefits; perfume benefits; color care benefits; or any combination thereof.
Compositions which can provide fabric care benefits during laundering operations are known, for example in form of rinse-added fabric softening compositions. Compositions which can provide both cleaning and fabric care benefits, e.g., fabric softening benefits, at the same time, are also known, for example in the form of “2-in-1” compositions and/or “softening through the wash” compositions.
The following non-limiting examples are illustrative of the present invention. Percentages are by weight unless otherwise specified.
The final fabric treatment composition is formulated by combining two distinctive premixes: a fabric cleaning premix A according to formula Al as below and a fabric care premix B as below. 1 Fabric cleaning premix A: Wt % (raw materials at Formula A1: 100% activity) C13-15 alkylbenzene sulphonic acid 13.0 C14-15 E08 (1) 9.0 C12-14 alkyl dimethyl amineoxide (2) 1.5 C12-18 fatty acid 10.0 Citric acid 4.0 Diethylene triamine pentamethylene phosphonic acid 0.3 Hydroxyethane dimethylene phosphonic acid 0.1 Ethoxylated polyethylene imine 1.0 Ethoxylated tetraethylene pentamine 1.0 Fluorescent whitening agent 0.15 CaCl2 0.02 Propanediol 5.0 Ethanol 2.0 Sodium cumene sulphonate 2.0 NaOH to pH 7.5 Protease enzyme 0.75 Amylase enzyme 0.20 Cellulase enzyme 0.05 Hydrogenated castor oil 0.2 Dye 0.001 Perfume 0.70 Water Balance (1) Marlipal 1415/8.1 ex Sasol (2) C12-14 alkyl dimethyl amineoxide ex P&G, supplied as a 31% active solution in water
The preparation of Fabric Care premix B is divided into three steps:
