Abstract: Disclosed is a fabric rinse composition comprising a) 0.1 to 10% by weight of a UV absorber selected from a hydroxyaryl-1, 3, 5-triazine of the formula (I), wherein R1 is hydrogen; c1-c4-Alkoxy; or halogen; R2 is mono-C1-C4 alkylamino; a radical of the formula (I′); X is C2-C4 alkylen; Y1, Y2 independently from each other are C1-C4 alkyl or C1-C4 alkyl which is substituted by halogen, cyano hydroxy or C1-C4 alkoxy; or Y1 and Y2 or Y1 and Y3 together with the nitrogen atom form a 5- to 7-membered heterocycle; Y3 is hydrogene; C1-C4 alkyl; C3-C4 alkenyl; or C1-C4 alkyl, C3-C4 alkenyl which is substituted by cyano, hydroxy, C1-C4 alkoxy, phenyl or C1-C4 alkoxycarbonyl; or Y1, Y2 and Y3 together with the binding nitrogen atom form a pyrrolidine, piperidine or morpholine radical; A is the counter ion; b) 5 to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition of a fabric care ingredient; and c) the remainder being substantially water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing dye loss or dye transfer from textile fibre materials or leather in the domestic sector, which comprises treating the textile fibre materials or the leather with a dye-fixing agent based on basic polycondensation products of an amine of formula (1) and a cyanamide, which polycondensation products are completely or partially neutaalised with an inorganic or organic acid, R1, R2, R3 and R4 each independently of the others being hydrogen or alkyl that is unsubstituted or substituted by amino, hydroxy, cyano or by C1-C4 alkoxy and A being alkylene optionally substituted or interrupted by one or more hereto atoms. The present invention relates also to new formulations comprising the dye-fixing agent and to new dye-fixing agents.
