USE OF CATIONIC MATERIALS AND COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A cationic material, preferably a cationic fabric conditioning surfactant, i s used to reduce skin irritancy of material extractable from a fabric. Preferably the cationic material neutralises free anionic residues present o n a fabric. The material or composition may form chemical complexes with the anionic residues and can be used to hinder the subsequent release of the residues from the fabric. The invention also relates to the use of a cationi c fabric conditioning composition and a fabric laundering process in which the cationic material or fabric conditioning composition is used.
