A laundry additive composition is provided that includes at least one zeta potential modifier, a fluoropolymer, a hydrophobic agent with a melting point or glass transition temperature below 100° C., and an antimicrobial active for imparting fabric protection benefits to a fabric, such as improved stain and soil resistance, oil repellency, water repellency, softness, wrinkle and damage resistance, and better hand feel, as well as imparting microbiocidal or microbiostatic properties to the fabric and/or washing machine surfaces. Laundry additive compositions can be used as a pretreatment prior to washing, through soaking a fabric or garment. Alternately, they can be added to a washing treatment liquor that comprises either the wash or rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine, to first provide and then maintain and refresh fabric protection benefits imparted to the fabric. Following use of a first treatment composition, protective benefits are maintained and refreshed by means of a second treatment operation employing a second treatment composition. The second treatment composition may have lower active levels of the protective agents to provide for economical and periodic maintenance of the imparted fabric protection benefits and/or refresh the microbiocidal or microbiostatic properties imparted to fabrics and/or washing machine surfaces.
本发明提供了一种洗衣添加剂组合物,其中包括至少一种 zeta 电位改性剂、含氟聚合物、熔点或玻璃化转变温度低于 100°C 的疏水剂以及抗菌活性物质,用于为织物提供织物保护功效,例如改善抗污性和防污性、拒油性、拒水性、柔软性、抗皱性和抗损性以及更好的手感,并为织物和/或洗衣机表面提供微生物杀灭或微生物静电特性。洗衣添加剂组合物可在洗涤前通过浸泡织物或衣物进行预处理。或者,也可以将它们添加到包括自动洗衣机洗涤或漂洗循环的洗涤处理液中,首先提供,然后保持和刷新赋予织物的织物保护功效。使用第一种处理组合物后,可通过使用第二种处理组合物进行第二种处理操作来保持和刷新保护功效。第二种处理组合物的保护剂活性水平较低,可以经济地定期保持织物保护效果和/或刷新织物和/或洗衣机表面的微生物杀灭或微生物静止特性。
