Provided is a method for the removal of salts and by-products from vinylamine-containing polymers. In particular, the method allows the removal of unwanted salts, by-products, spent initiators and short chain vinylamine-containing polymers while retaining the functional, higher molecular weight polymers that provide for desired product performance.
