Abstract
A method of treating natural or synthetic pile or brushed fabrics to reduce marking caused by rubbing or handling the fabrics, while leaving the fabrics with a soft feel and a full, thick hand. The method consists of the application to the fabrics of liquid compositions comprising a) about 80-100% of a water-dispersible, hydrophilic polyester or polyurethane dispersed in an aqueous medium; b) about 0-20% of a carrier of the type used to enhance the penetration of dyes and other materials into the polymer structure of polyester fibers; and c) about 0-10% of a non-rewetting wetting agent.
