Claims11
A fabric article treating composition comprising:
- a) from about 70% to about 99.99% by weight of the fabric article treating composition of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane;
- b) from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the fabric article treating composition of a siloxane-based surfactant;
- c) from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the fabric article treating composition of a nonionic surfactant comprising an ethoxylated surfactant having the formula:
- R8—Z—(CH2CH2O)sB
- wherein R8 is an alkyl group or an alkyl aryl group selected from the group consisting of primary, secondary and branched chain alkyl hydrocarbyl groups, primary, secondary and branched chain alkenyl hydrocarbyl groups, and/or primary, secondary and branched chain alkyl- and alkenyl-substituted phenolic hydrocarbyl groups having from about 6 to about 20 carbon atoms;
- s is an integer from about 2 to about 45;
- B is a hydrogen, a carboxylate group, or a sulfate group;
- and linking group Z is —O—, —C(O)O, —C(O)N(R)—, or —C(O)N(R)—, and mixtures thereof, in which R, when present, is R8 or hydrogen;
- d) from about 0.001% to about 10% by weight of the fabric article treating composition of a polar solvent comprising propylene glycol, propylene glycol ethers, or mixtures thereof;
- and
- e) optionally, from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the fabric article treating composition of other cleaning adjuncts.
