Abstract
Detergent compositions or components are formulated with certain hydrophobically modified cellulosic materials, which provide protection of fabrics, whereof at least 80% or even at least 90% have a particle size of below 1000 microns or even below 850 or even 710 microns. Selection of materials of this particle size results in improved dispersability of the cellulosic material and imparts improved appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles laundered in washing solutions from such compositions.
