Abstract: A textile care composition comprising nitrogen-containing cellulose ethers of the formula (I) ((R—O—)3Rcell)y ??(I) herein Rcell is an anhydroglucose radical (C6H10O5), y is from 80 to 65 000; R is a radical of the formula (II) wherein each of a and b is independently 2 or 3; c is 1, 2 or 3; each of m and p is independently an integer from 0 to 10; n is an integer from 0 to 3, q is 0 or 1; each of R1 and R2 is independently hydrogen or a C1-4 alkyl radical; R3 is hydrogen, —NR1R2, a carboxylic acid group or a sodium carboxylate, potassium carboxylate or ammonium carboxylate group, with the proviso that R3 is hydrogen when q is 0, and with the further proviso that n in at least one of the R radicals is greater than 0 or the —R3 moiety in at least one of the R radicals represents —NR1R2. These textile care compositions impart to textiles improved softness, increased shine and color brilliance, odor freshening, and reduction in the creasing behavior and in the static charge.
