Abstract
A ready-to-use fabric composition and a fabric finish concentrate composition are disclosed as well as a method of providing a stiffness to a fabric. The compositions comprise water, a water soluble polymer that casts a clear, continuous film from aqueous solution and a film-compatible silicone ironing aid/lubricant that in combination dries on clothes or textiles as a colorless and transparent, flexible film. Optionally, a preservative and, in some instances other ingredients such as fragrances and dyes may be added for aesthetic purposes.
