The present invention relates to hydrophobically modified polyamines and laundry detergent compositions which comprise said polyamines, said compositions comprising: A) from about 0.01 %, preferably from about 0.1 %, more preferably from about 1 %, most preferably from about 3 % to about 50 %, preferably to about 20 %, more preferably to about 10 %, most preferably to about 7 % by weight, of a hydrophobically modified polyamine having formula (I) wherein R is C6-C20 linear or branched alkylene, and mixtures thereof; R is an alkyleneoxy unit having the formula: -(R O)x-R wherein R is C2-C4 linear or branched alkylene, and mixtures thereof; R is hydrogen, C1-C22 alkyl, C7-C22 alkylenearyl, and mixtures thereof; x is from about 15 to about 30; Q is a hydrophobic quaternizing unit selected from the group consisting of C8-C30 linear or branched alkyl, C6-C30 cycloalkyl, C7-C30 substituted or unsubstituted alkylenearyl, and mixtures thereof; X is an anion present in sufficient amount to provide electronic neutrality; n is from 0 to 3; B) from about 0.01 % by weight, of a surfactant system comprising one or more surfactants selected from: i) from 0 % to 100 % by weight, of one or more anionic surfactants; ii) from 0 % to 100 % by weight, of one or more nonionic surfactants; iii) optionally from 0.1 % to about 80 % by weight, of one or more cationic surfactants; iv) optionally from 0.1 % to about 80 % by weight, of one or more zwitterionic surfactants; v) optionally from 0.1 % to about 80 % by weight, of one or more ampholytic surfactants; or vi) mixtures thereof; C) the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients.
