Method of improving the draining of water from textiles during a laundering operation

摘要

A method of laundering textiles is disclosed wherein amidofunctional silicone is dispersed in the rinse water to improve the flow of water out of the textiles during the subsequent spin-separation of water. The resulting textiles contain less residual water and can be dried more rapidly and energy efficiently. The useful amidofunctional silicones are characterized as having an average of 40 to 600 siloxane units per molecule with 1 to 25 of the siloxane units per molecule containing an amidoalkyl substituent.
