Detergent compositions and fabric conditioning compositions which utilize certain oxidized cyclic amine based polymer, oligomer or copolymer materials of general formula (I), 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 general structure (II). In these general structures at least about 10 mole %, of the R3 groups are O, provided that O is only present on a tertiary N. These oxidized cyclic amine based polymer, oligomer or copolymer materials serve as fabric treatment agents that can impart fabric appearance and integrity benefits to fabrics and textiles laundered in washing solutions which contain such materials. |
