Novel modified lignin polymers containing anionic, cationic, and/or alkoxy substitution are disclosed. Further, new cleaning compositions including the novel substituted lignin polymers are disclosed. Methods of forming the modified lignin polymers and cleaning compositions are disclosed.

Modified lignin biopolymer useful in cleaning compositions

The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous wrinkle controlling and, optionally, odor-absorbing, composition, preferably for use on fabric. The composition preferably comprises fabric lubricant, shape retention polymer, lithium salts, and/or plasticizers for wrinkle control and, optionally, from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin. Optionally, the composition can contain low molecular weight polyols; metallic salts to help control odor; nonionic surfactants to improve performance and formulatability, a humectant, etc. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers which preferably are in association with instructions for use, especially when the composition comprises only water and perfume.

Fabric wrinkle control composition and method

The invention concerns the treatment of clothes for dry wrinkle resistance, in particular in-wear wrinkle resistance. The clothes are treated with an amino silicone, preferably one that contains sterically hindered functional groups. The silicone is preferably provided to the clothes in a domestic process, preferably during a process of ironing.

Clothes treatment for dry wrinkle resistance utilizing an aminosilicone containing a sterically hindered functional group

The invention concerns the treatment of clothes for dry wrinkle resistance, in particular in-wear wrinkle resistance. The clothes are treated with an amphoteric polymer and secured in the desired configuration, preferably during a process of ironing.

Clothes treatment for dry wrinkle resistance

There are provided wrinkle reducing compositions and method for treating fabrics in order to improve various properties of fabrics, in particular, reduction or removal of unwanted wrinkles, by means of an aqueous composition comprising a nonionic polyhydric alcohol humectant and a water-soluble wetting agent selected from a cationic surfactant, a non-alkoxylated nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant.

Wrinkle reducing composition

Fabrics are treated with a film-forming material and a blowing agent, typically ammonium carbonate or bicarbonate, and ironed. The fabrics thus acquire dry wrinkle resistance, in addition to the benefit provided by the film-forming material.

Domestic treatment of fabrics with film-forming materials and blowing agents

The invention relates to a process of ironing fabrics. The iron contains a refill cartridge, which contains a concentrated ironing aid. The concentrated aid is then diluted with water in the iron before it is provided to the fabrics during ironing. The aid comprises a nonionic silicone containing surfactant.

Process for the ironing of fabrics, and refill cartridge for irons

Polymer compositions, while providing suitable wrinkle control, also tend to dispense poorly when sprayed. The present invention shows that when viscosity of polymer compositions is minimized spray dispensing improves. Several approaches to minimizing the viscosity of polymer compositions are disclosed. Methods of controlling wrinkles in fabrics comprise treating fabrics with a variety of polymer compositions following a variety of methods. Articles of manufacture comprise (1) a container or substrate, (2) a wrinkle controlling composition, and (3) a set of instructions.

Articles to aid the ironing of fabrics and methods of use

There are provided wrinkle and malodour reducing compositions and method for treating fabrics in order to improve various properties of fabrics, in particular, reduction or removal of unwanted wrinkles and malodours, by means of a composition comprising an adhesive polymer and an uncomplexed cyclodextrin.

Wrinkle and malodour reducing composition

There are provided wrinkle reducing compositions and method for treating fabrics in order to improve properties of fabrics, in particular, reduction or removal of unwanted wrinkles, by means of an aqueous composition comprising a water-soluble wetting agent and a salt.

There is provided a composition as well as a method for treating fabrics in order to improve various properties of fabrics, in particular, wrinkle resistance by means of a cross-linking resin having cationic properties.

Wrinkle resistant composition

Polymer compositions having specified PH for improved dispensing and improved stability of wrinkle reducing compositions and methods of use

The present invention relates to fabric softening compositions and methods thereof which effectively reduces the amount of dyes released from coloured fabrics upon wet treatment, said composition comprising one or more cationic fabric softener components having at least two long chains, one or more dispersible polyolefins and one or more cationic dye fixing agents.
