  • Patent number: 12351781
    Abstract: An aqueous liquid laundry formulation is provided, comprising: a liquid carrier; a cellulase; and a protectant polymer, wherein the protectant polymer comprises: 25 to 65 wt %, based on weight of the protectant polymer, of structural units of formula I wherein each R1 is independently selected from a hydrogen and a —CH3 group; and 35 to 75 wt %, based on weight of the protectant polymer, of structural units of formula II wherein each R2 is independently selected from a —C2-3 alkyl group and wherein each R3 is independently selected from a hydrogen and a methyl group. Also provided is a method of renewing a soiled cotton containing fabric using aqueous liquid laundry formulation.
    Type: Grant
