Abstract

The use of polymers which comprise at least 5 mol % of quaternized 1-vinylimidazole units of the formula ##STR1## where R is C.sub.1 -C.sub.25 -alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.10 -cycloalkyl or benzyl PA1 R.sup.1,R.sup.2,R.sup.3 are identical or different and are H, CH.sub.3 and C.sub.2 H.sub.5, and PA1 X.sup..crclbar. is an anion, as color-fixing and color transfer-inhibiting additive to laundry aftertreatment aids and to detergents.
