Disclosed are home care compositions comprising a dicarboxy functionalized
polyorganosiloxane and methods for treating and modifying surfaces and for enhancing
delivery of active agents to surfaces treated with the compositions. Said home
care compositions can be used particularly for cleaning, rinsing, care or treatment
of industrial, domestic or communal hard surfaces, as well as textile article surfaces;
they are targeted at conferring on the surfaces treated therewith benefits such
as water repellency, soil release, stain resistance, anti-fogging, surface repair,
anti-wrinkling, shine, lubrication and/or at improving the residuality, impact
and or efficacy of active materials comprised in said compositions. The dicarboxy
functionalized polyorganosiloxane can be present in the home care compositions
at a concentration of from about 0.005% to 10% by weight, preferably from about
0.05% to 5% by weight.
