Detergent compositions and fabric conditioning compositions which utilize certain anionically modified, oxidized cyclic amine based polymer, oligomer or copolymer materials of general formula (I) T-[-W-R2-]-xW-T Ab, wherein W comprises at least one cyclic constituent selected from the group consisting of: (a), (b) and (c). In addition to the at least one cyclic constituent, W may also comprise an aliphatic or substituted aliphatic moiety of the general structure (d), wherein at least about 1.0 % of the total number of T and R3 groups are anionic moieties selected from the group consisting of -(CH2)hCOOM, -(CH2)hSO3M, CH2CH(OH)SO3M, -(CH2)hOSO3M, (e), (f), (g), (h), and mixtures thereof. These anionically modified, cyclic amine based polymer, oligomer or copolymer materials can impart fabric appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles laundered in washing solutions which contain such materials. |
