In one aspect, the invention relates to fibers treated with or formed from at least one odor-absorbing composition, fiber treatment compositions, fiber treatment kits, and articles produced therefrom. In a further aspect, the invention relates to methods of increasing odor absorbency properties in a fiber. In still a further aspect, the fiber treatment compositions comprise an aqueous composition having a pH of less than about 2.1 and at least one anionic binding agent or fluorochemical. Is a further aspect, the fiber treatment compositions comprise an aqueous composition to provide a residual fiber pH of less than about 5.75 and at least one anionic binding agent or fluorochemical. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
A method of increasing odor absorbency properties in a fiber, the method comprising the step of treating the fiber with an aqueous composition comprising one or more acids present in an amount to provide a composition pH of less than about 2.1, wherein a fluorochemical is not present in the composition.
A method of increasing odor absorbency properties in a fiber, the method comprising the step of treating the fiber with an aqueous composition comprising one or more acids present in an amount to provide a composition pH of less than about 2.1, wherein an anionic binding agent is not present in the composition.
A fiber treatment composition comprising an aqueous composition comprising one or more non-degradative acids present in an amount to provide a composition pH of less than about 2.1;
