/Phosphonate-free Chelating Agents And Methods For Fabric Care
Abstract

Chelating agents may be incorporated into a variety of fabric care compositions and delivery formats. The fabric care compositions may include at least one component, according to Formula (7): in which: R1-3 is an OH or an H and at least 2 adjacent R's are OH; and A is a OR4 or N(R4)2 or N(R4)(H) or NH2, where each R4 is independently a linear or branched C1-18 carbon chain.
