Hydrophobic textile materials exhibit reduced tendency to static charge buildup, significantly improved absorbency and reduced soiling tendency when treated with a water-dispersible polyester having structural units of the formula ##STR1## wherein A is, on statistical average, 80 to 100 mol percent of p-phenylene and 0 to 20 mol percent of divalent moieties of the formula ##STR2## and wherein G is, on statistical average, 30 to 90 mol percent of linear or branched divalent alkane moieties having 3 to 6 carbon atoms which may be interrupted by 1 or 2 oxygen atoms, 10 to 30 mol percent of divalent polyether moieties having an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 3,000, and up to 50 mol percent of ethylene moieties, and R is a straight-chain or branched alkyl or alkenyl having 6 to 8 carbon atoms.

Water-dispersible polyester, its preparation, and its use as a

A process for the bleaching of cellulose in an alkaline peroxide bleaching bath in the presence of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 -alkyl, C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 -alkenyl or C.sub.6 -C.sub.22 -alkylaryl, n is a number of from 5 to 50, and X is ethylene or propylene; the ether chain (X-O).sub.n consisting entirely of ethoxy units or contains n/5 isopropoxy units at most.

Use of alkylpolyglycol-tert.-butyl ether as bleaching auxiliary and

1,5-Diaryl-3-styryl pyrazolines, which are obtained by condensation of a distyryl ketone and an aliphatic 4-hydrazino-phenyl sulfone, are useful as optical brighteners, especially in admixture with known 1,3-diaryl pyrazoline brighteners.
