The crease recovery of fabrics can be improved using C20-C40 saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons which have melting points below 0° C., such as squalane. The hydrocarbons may be included in garment care products adapted for use in a tumble dryer, such as flexible sheets, in sprayable formulations or in fabric care compositions, such as fabric conditioning compositions which comprise a fabric softening agent. Fabrics may be treated with the hydrocarbons as part of a domestic laundering process. |
