Abstract: This application describes laundry care compositions that contain leuco colorants and their use in the laundering of textile articles. These types of colorants are provided in a stable, substantially colorless state and then may be transformed to an intense colored state upon exposure to certain physical or chemical changes such as, for example, exposure to oxygen, ion addition, exposure to light, and the like. The laundry care compositions containing the leuco colorants are designed to enhance the apparent or visually perceived whiteness of, or to impart a desired hue to, textile articles washed or otherwise treated with the laundry care composition.

Abstract: A method for pre-treating textile articles includes the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition comprising a laundry care ingredient and a leuco composition comprising at least 0.001 wt % leuco colorant, based on the weight of the laundry care composition; (b) placing the laundry care composition in contact with a stain on the textile article in a pretreat step; (c) placing the textile articles in contact with a liquid medium optionally further comprising a converting agent; (d) optionally converting at least some portion of the leuco composition to form an oxidized leuco composition; (e) depositing at least a portion of the leuco composition and/or the oxidized leuco composition onto the textile; (f) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (g) drying the textile articles.

Abstract: This application describes laundry care compositions that contain shading leuco colorants and their use in the laundering of textile articles. These types of shading leuco colorants are provided in a stable, substantially colorless state and then may be transformed to an intense colored state upon exposure to certain physical or chemical changes such as, for example, exposure to oxygen, ion addition, exposure to light, and the like. The laundry care compositions containing the shading leuco colorants are designed to enhance the apparent or visually perceived whiteness of, or to impart a desired hue to, textile articles washed or otherwise treated with the laundry care composition.

Abstract: A method for treating textile articles includes the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition comprising a leuco composition; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; (c) placing the textile articles in contact with the liquid medium; (d) depositing at least some portion of the leuco composition onto the textile articles; (e) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (f) drying the textile articles, wherein the textile articles after 1 day of storage provide a whiteness benefit to cotton that is greater than the initial whiteness benefit achieved after drying.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cleaning device comprising a cleaning composition and a substrate. The cleaning composition comprises an absorbent particulate, a binding agent, and optionally, a thickening agent. The cleaning composition may be applied to a substrate, such as a textile substrate, by applying the composition to at least one portion of the surface of the substrate or by incorporating the composition throughout the substrate. The absorbent particulate generally exhibits a high affinity for particles, color, grease, oil, and other staining materials and is a soft material which allows for gentle cleaning of most surfaces without detrimentally abrading and scratching soiled surfaces. The absorbent particulate also serves as an indicator providing a visual cue of its cleaning efficacy and may be used in either a wet or dry state.
