Abstract
Abstract A fabric treatment composition comprises a cationic fabric softening material together with a soil release polymer. The polymer is selected from I. Condensation products of dicarboxylic acids, hydroxy polyoxy alkylene compounds and -NH2 compounds or related materials and II. POLYAMIDE ALKOXYLATES.
