This invention relates to a process for inhibiting white pitch deposition in felts of a papermaking system including adding to the felts an effective inhibiting amount of an organic, anionic polyelectrolyte. The molecular weight of the polyelectrolyte is preferably from about 1,000 to 100,000. The polyelectrolyte is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, polmethacrylic acid, acrylic acid/polethylene glycol allyl ether copolymers, methacrylic acid/polyethylene glycol allyl ether copolymers, acrylic acid/1-allyloxy-2-hydroxypropane sulfonic acid copolymers. The use of these polyelectrolytes in combination with surfactants provides an especially effective white pitch inhibiting and total felt conditioning process when applied to the felt.
