Solid and liquid textile-treating compositions
Provided herein are solid textile treating compositions; compositions containing colorants stabilized with one or more colorant stabilizers; compositions containing colorants that do not need to be stabilized by one or more colorant stabilizers; solid wash cycle conditioning agents; liquid textile treating compositions; cleaning agent compositions containing these; methods of making these; methods of treating textiles with these; textiles treated by these; containers containing the compositions; and methods of visually designating when a composition has reached or passed its pull date.
1. A liquid textile-treating composition, comprising:
(a) from about 65% by weight to about 80% by weight of a polyethylene glycol;
(b) an alcohol;
(c) from about 15% by weight to about 25% by weight of a fabric conditioning agent; and
(d) water;
wherein the fabric conditioning agent is selected from the group consisting of:
wherein R is an acyl group having a chain of alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl; wherein the chain is branched or straight, substituted or unsubstituted, cyclic, or optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms; and
wherein X is selected from a group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide; hydroxide, phosphate, sulfate, sulfite, nitrate, phosphite, bisulfate, carbonate, monohydrogen carbonate, monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, citrate, lactate, pyruvate, silicate, ascorbate, nitrite, and acetate;
wherein the combined ingredients are in liquid form, and wherein the % by weight is based on the weight of the composition.
2. The liquid textile-treating composition of claim 1 , further comprising a colorant.
3. The liquid textile-treating composition of claim 1 , further comprising a perfume.
4. The liquid textile-treating composition of claim 1 , comprising:
(a) from about 1% by weight to about 5% by weight of the alcohol;
(b) from about 15% by weight to about 20% by weight of the fabric conditioning agent; and
(c) from about 5% by weight to about 12% by weight of water;
wherein the % by weight is based on the weight of the composition.
5. The liquid textile-treating composition of claim 3 , comprising from about 3.500% by weight to about 11.00% by weight of the perfume, wherein the % by weight is based on the weight of the composition.
6. The liquid textile-treating composition of claim 4 , wherein the fabric conditioning agent is present at about 20% by weight.
7. A textile-treating composition, comprising:
(a) from about 65% by weight to about 80% by weight of a polyethylene glycol;
(b) from about 1% by weight to about 5% by weight of an alcohol;
(c) from about 10% by weight to about 25% by weight of a fabric conditioning agent selected from the group consisting of:
wherein R is an acyl group having a chain of alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl; wherein
the chain is branched or straight, substituted or unsubstituted, cyclic, or optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms;
wherein X is selected from a group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide;
hydroxide, phosphate, sulfate, sulfite, nitrate, phosphite, bisulfate, carbonate, monohydrogen carbonate, monohydrogen phosphate, dihydrogen phosphate, citrate, lactate, pyruvate, silicate, ascorbate, nitrite and acetate; and
(d) from about 5% by weight to about 12% by weight of water;
wherein the % by weight is based on the weight of the composition.
8. The textile-treating composition of claim 7 ,
further comprising from about 0.0005% by weight to about 0.0100% by weight of a colorant, and from about 0.0005% by weight to about 0.25% by weight of a colorant stabilizer;
wherein the colorant stabilizer is not a polysaccharide.
