BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to compositions which provide care to the colors of fabrics in laundry treatment.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The appearance of colored fabrics, e.g., clothing, bedding, household fabrics like table linens is one of the areas of concern to consumers. Indeed, upon typical consumer's uses of the fabrics such as wearing, washing, rinsing and/or tumble-drying of fabrics, a loss in the fabric appearance, which is at least partly due to loss of color fidelity and color definition, is observed. Such a problem of color loss is even more acute in laundry treatment after multiwash cycles.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a composition which provides improved color appearance of the laundered fabrics, especially after multiwash cycles.
The Applicant has now surprisingly found that the combination of a dye fixing agent and an amino-functional polymer overcomes the problem.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a composition comprising a dye fixing agent and an amino-functional polymer comprising a polyamine backbone corresponding to the formula: ##STR1## having a polyamine formula V.sub.(n+1) W.sub.m Y.sub.n Z or a polyamine backbone corresponding to the formula: ##STR2## having a polyamine formula V.sub.(n-k+1) W.sub.m Y.sub.n Y'.sub.k Z, wherein k is less than or equal to n, said polyamine backbone has a molecular weight greater than 200 daltons, wherein ##STR3## ii) W units are backbone units having the formula: ##STR4## iii) Y units are branching units having the formula: ##STR5## iv) Y' units are branch point for a backbone or branch ring having the formula: ##STR6## v) Z units are terminal units having the formula: ##STR7## wherein backbone linking R units are selected from the group consisting of C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 alkylene, C.sub.4 -C.sub.12 alkenylene, C.sub.3 -C.sub.12 hydroxyalkylene, C.sub.4 -C.sub.12 dihydroxyalkylene, C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 dialkylarylene, --(R.sup.1 O).sub.x R.sup.1, --(R.sup.1 O).sub.x R.sup.5 (OR.sup.1).sub.x --, --(CH.sub.2 CH(OR.sup.2)CH.sub.2 O).sub.z (R.sup.1 O).sub.y R.sup.1 (OCH.sub.2 CH(OR.sup.2)CH.sub.2).sub.w --, --C(O)(R.sup.4).sub.
