Abstract
Abstract A composition for applying non-permanent soil-release finish to fabrics from dilute solution comprising a polycarboxylate polymer having an acid equivalent weight of from about 110 to 175, and a water-soluble amine. A preferred polycarboxylate polymer is a copolymer of 2/3 methacrylic acid/ 1/3 ethylacrylate. The composition is particularly useful for applying a soil-release finish in the rinse cycle of a home laundry process.
