Abstract: A fabric treatment composition that includes at least one zeta potential modifier and a hydrophobic agent with a melting point or glass transition temperature below 100° C. that imparts fabric protection benefits, including improved stain resistance, oil repellency, water repellency, softness, wrinkle and damage resistance, and better handfeel to treated fabrics. Particularly preferred compositions include at least one zeta potential modifier in an amount sufficient to adjust the zeta potential of the composition to be positive and greater than zero millivolts. Particularly preferred compositions also include a fluoropolymer. The composition can be used as a pretreatment prior to washing, through soaking or direct spray application, or added to the wash or rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine, or used prior to or during the drying cycle of an automatic drying machine or refresher machine, or used prior to or in conjunction with an ironing device. The fabric treatment is complete when the fabric is cured by drying and/or heating.

Abstract: Cleaning compositions which enhance hard surfaces to exhibit excellent water-spreading and oil-repellence and thus provide a "next time easier cleaning" benefit are disclosed, wherein the cleaning compositions include: (a) a water-soluble or water-dispersible copolymer having: (i) a first monomer having a permanent cationic charge or that is capable of forming a cationic charge on protonation; (ii) at least one of a second monomer that is acidic and that is capable of forming an anionic charge in the compositions or a third monomer having an uncharged hydrophilic group; and (iii) optionally, a fourth monomer that is hydrophobic; (b) optionally, an organic solvent; and (c) optionally, an adjuvant. Hydroscopic polymer gels can be formed by applying water soluble or water dispersible polymer on a surface and allowing water to be sequestered from the atmosphere into the polymer. The polymer gels provides for easier next time cleaning. In addition, the surfaces of textiles and related materials can be engineered by the formation of polymer gel films thereon. Polymer gels also provide a vehicle by which sites of chemical reactions can be localized.
