- the level of deposition of the particles from a rinse solution can be quantified by measuring the turbidity, or light transmission, of the rinse solution before and after the solution is contacted with the fabrics.
- Light transmission or turbidity measurements for this purpose cannot be conducted in the presence of cationic softeners because of their inherent milkiness.
- CAC cationic surfactant
- CAC Cetylthmethylammonium chloride
- the Linitester temperature was set to 40 0 C.

- Softgel BDA (Avebe) is a cationic potato starch with low, 0.05%, degree of substitution (charge).
- Ucare polymer JR-30M (Amerchol) is a cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose with a 1.5-
- LBG (Sigma) is a non-ionic locust bean gum polysaccharide.
- the level of delivery from the rinse solution simulating the washing machine condition is surprisingly good from the cationic solution alone compared to water.
- the polymers have improved the deposition except for polyester where the high charged density JR polymer has improved deposition over and above that of control CTAC.
- LBG has improved the deposition on cotton and polycotton (positively charged substrates in CTAC) most likely through its affinity and recognition of cellulose units.
- the wet monitors had a strong smell of the deposited particles which on drying had a faint remnant. On synthetics like polyester this was sufficient to mask the dusty vinegar smell of polyester fabric to a pleasant smell.
