Title:
METHOD OF TREATING FABRICS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001046356
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
There is provided a method of delivering a benefit agent to fabric for exerting a pre-determined activity, wherein the fabric is pre-treated with a multi-specific binding molecule which has a high binding affinity to said fabric through one specificity and is capable of binding to said benefit agent through another specificity, followed by contacting said pre-treated fabric with said benefit agent, to enhance said pre-determined activity to said fabric. Preferably, the binding molecule is an antibody or fragment thereof, or a fusion protein comprising a cellulose binding domain and a domain having a high binding affinity to another ligand which is directed to said benefit agent. The method is useful for example for stain removal, perfume delivery, and treating collars and cuffs for wear.
