The present invention relates to fabric care compositions having enhanced
fabric color protection, said compositions comprising a bleach scavenging
system comprising: i) one or more organic sulfur compounds having the
formula: R--S--R or R--S--S--R wherein each R is independently hydrogen,
C.sub.2-C.sub.20 linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl;
provided at least one R unit is not hydrogen; ii) one or more inorganic
sulfur compounds selected from the group consisting of the sodium,
potassium, lithium, calcium, and magnesium salts of metabisulfite,
thiosulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, and mixtures thereof; and iii) and
mixtures thereof.
