Formulation components such as bleach boosting compounds selected from
the group consisting of bleach boosters comprising quaternary imine cations, zwitterions,
polyions having a net charge of from about +3 to about 3 and mixtures thereof,
bleaching species comprising oxariridinium cations, zwitterions, polyions having
a net charge of from about +3 to about -3 and mixtures thereof, and mixtures thereof
are disclosed. The bleach boosting compounds increase bleaching effectiveness even
in lower temperature solutions and provides improved stability toward unwanted
boosting compound decomposition. The bleach boosting compounds are ideally suited
for inclusion into bleaching compositions including those with detersive surfactants
and enzymes. Also provided is a method for laundering a fabric employing the bleach
compounds, a laundry additive product employing the bleach boosting compounds.
