Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods of laundering fabrics.
  • Fabric care compositions are often added by consumers to the rinse step of a fabric washing operation. Fabric care compositions impart a number of sensorial benefits that consumers enjoy, including softness and freshness. Most frequently, softness is provided by esterified cationic surfactants or silicones. It is also known to add cellulase enzymes into such compositions for example as described in WO95/005442 .
  • Laundry detergent compositions are used to provide fabric cleaning benefits in the wash step of a laundry operation. There is a further need for a means to improve cleaning particularly at low wash temperatures and also at short wash cycles.
  • the present invention alleviates this problem.
  • the present invention is to a method of laundering a fabric, comprising the steps of;
  • the first and second rinse liquors are aqueous.
  • the rinse liquor, in particular the second rinse liquor additionally comprises a soil release polymer.
  • the method of the present invention comprises the steps of:
  • step (i) the fabric may be washed in a conventional wash step in which an aqueous wash liquor is formed by the addition of a detergent composition to water.
  • the surfactant concentration in the aqueous wash liquor is from 0.05 to 4g/l.
  • step (ii) the fabric undergoes a rinse step of a wash operation, to substantially remove the wash liquor from the fabric.
  • step (iii) a further rinse step is provided in which the fabric is contacted with a lipid esterase.
  • the fabric is then dried in step (iv) and undergoes soiling in step (v), i.e. the fabric may then be worn by a consumer or used in another way for its intended use.
  • the fabric may then be contacted with a further aqueous wash liquor in step (vi).
  • a further aqueous wash liquor in step (vi).
  • the lipid esterase contacted to the fabric in step (iii) acts 'out of the wash' to hydrolyse the soils/stains which contact the fabric during the soiling step (v). This leads to good soil removal in a subsequent wash step (vi) and effective stripping of soil from the fabric in step (vi). This can also be used to enable a reduction in the amount of surfactant used to provide effective cleaning.
  • the method of the present invention comprises a step (i) of contacting the fabric with an aqueous wash liquor.
  • the aqueous wash liquor is formed by the addition of a laundry detergent composition to water.
  • the detergent composition added to water to form the aqueous wash liquor may be in any suitable form including granular, liquid or unitized dose. When in unitized dose form, it is preferred that the composition is enclosed within a water-soluble film, for example a polyvinyl alcohol-based film.
