A laundry care composition including (a) at least one laundry care ingredient and (b) a leuco composition. The leuco composition has a first color state and a second color state and the mole ratio of second color state to first color state is from 2:98 to 5:95. Also disclosed are methods of determining the approximate functional age of a laundry care composition comprising the steps of (a) providing a laundry care composition that includes at least one laundry care ingredient and a leuco composition, (b) providing a functional age scale that includes a plurality of distinct colors that correspond to a unique functional age and (c) comparing the color of the laundry care composition with the functional age scale.

The present invention relates to a process for reducing malodors on fabrics using a detergent composition containing a polyalkyleneamine and use of the polyalkyleneamine in the process.

A process of reducing malodors on fabrics includes combining fabrics having at least one source of malodor with a wash liquor having metal ions. The wash liquor is prepared by diluting a laundry detergent composition in water by a factor of between 100-fold and 3000-fold. The process further includes washing the fabrics in the wash liquor using an automatic wash operation, a manual wash operation or a mixture thereof; separating the fabrics and the wash liquor from one another; and drying the fabrics. The laundry detergent composition includes from 0.001% to 5% of an alkylated phenol antioxidant, a hindered phenol antioxidant, or mixtures thereof, and at least one of said antioxidants has a log D value at pH 7 equal to or greater than 1.50.

A fabric softener composition comprising: a. 1 to 20 wt. % ionic compound of general formula I: (I) b. 0.1 to 30 wt. % perfume; and c. Water.

Treatment compositions that include a surfactant system and an oligoamine, the surfactant system including linear alkyl benzene sulfonate. Related methods of use and preparation of such compositions.

A composition comprises (a) a leuco compound and (b) a colorant. The colorant preferably has an Aesthetic Value Index (AVI) of greater than −4. The colorant preferably is also complementary to the color exhibited by the colored analogue of the leuco compound (e.g., complementary to the color exhibited by the oxidized analogue of the leuco compound).
