Dye scavenging and water softening product

A production process for a “dye scavenging” and “limescale scavenging” material comprising the following steps:

• a) providing a substrate selected from the group consisting of:
• natural and/or synthetic fabric, natural and/or synthetic non-woven fabric and paper;
• b) treating the substrate with an additive comprising a cationic heterocyclic polymer;
• c) eliminating excess additive by passing the substrate between two or more rollers, and then allowing the substrate to rest for a period of time comprising between 30 minutes and 24 hours, optionally rolled up and rotating;
• d) drying the substrate;
• e) applying onto the semi-finished substrate obtained from step d) a dense mixture comprising at least one calcium and magnesium ion sequestrant selected from polyacrylate, polyphosphonate, an EDTA salt;
• f) drying the substrate, so as to obtain the finished product.
