Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of providing a composition for use in the laundering of sportswear.
  • Sportswear is becoming increasingly popular with consumers.
  • Sportswear can be generally characterised by technical fabrics made from synthetic fibres, which are designed to provide benefits such as stretching as needed, wicking moisture from the skin surface and quick dry.
  • a particularly important feature that consumers look for is the ability to wick moisture from the skin surface and distribute the moisture throughout the fabric, allowing an increased rate of evaporation. This keeps the wearer of the fabric cool and dry while working out.
  • the present invention provides a use of a fabric conditioning composition which improves the wicking abilities of a fabric i.e. the ability to absorb moisture from the skins surface and distribute through the fabric.
  • a composition comprising: a. Fabric softening active; b. Hydrolysed protein to treat fabrics comprising synthetic fibres during the laundry process wherein the fabric comprising synthetic fibres comprise 90 wt.% to 100 wt.% polyester. DESCRIPTION
  • the moisture wicking capability of the fabric refers to the capability of the fabric, once dried, and in wear, to wick moisture (such as sweat) away from the skin of the wearer.
  • the improved moisture wicking capability of synthetic fabric may be expressed in many ways, including rejuvenating sportswear, improving the lifetime of sportswear, reviving sportswear, caring for sportswear.
  • the improved moisture wicking capability of synthetic fabric it may be expressed in terms of the benefits while the garment is being worm, for example: keeping the wearer drier for longer, keeping the wearer cooler for longer, keeping the wearer feeling comfortable for longer.
