Anionic, sulfobenzoyl end-capped esters useful as soil release agents in granular detergent compositions. The terephthalate esters contain oxyethyleneoxy and oxy-1,2-propyleneoxy units, and are substantially amorphous in form.

Sulfobenzoyl end-capped ester oligomers useful as soil release agents in

Disclosed are dryer-added fabric conditioning articles and methods utilizing alkyl amine-anionic surfactant ion-pair complexes as fabric conditioning agents. Optionally, these compositions can contain polymeric soil release agents and the fabric softeners. In the method aspect of the invention, damp fabrics are commingled with the conditioner active and optional components in an automatic laundry dryer and are provided with a soft, antistatic finish concurrently with the drying operation. The fabric conditioning agents herein are preferably employed in combination with a dispensing means adapted for use in an automatic dryer.

Articles and methods for treating fabrics

Disclosed are dryer-added fabric conditioning articles and methods utilizing imidazoline-anionic surfactant ion-pair complexes as fabric conditioning agents. Optionally, these compositions can contain polymeric soil release agents and the fabrics are commingled with the conditioner active and optional components in an automatic laundry dryer and are provided with a soft, antistatic finish concurrently with the drying operation. The fabric conditioning agents herein are preferably employed in combination with a dispensing means adapted for use in an automatic dryer.

Aqueous hypochlorite laundry bleach compositions containing a suspension of a bleach stable (e.g., Ultramarine Blue) pigment, optical brightener 4,4'-bis(4-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate, and a certain alkylaryl sulfonate surfactant. Preferred compositions contain a bleach stable organic material having a density of from 0.8 to 1.05 g/cc, which organic material is preferably a perfume, and a bleach stable buffering agent to maintain pH and physical stability.
