1. A composition consisting of:

  • (a) a water-soluble first polyelectrolyte bearing a net cationic charge or capable of developing a net cationic charge wherein said first polyelectrolyte is a homopolymer of diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (“

    DADMAC”

    );

    (b) a water-soluble second polyelectrolyte bearing a net anionic charge or capable of developing a net anionic charge in which the anionic moiety is selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid and mixtures thereof;

    (c) an oxidant selected from the group consisting of hypohalous acid, hypohalite and mixtures thereof;

    (d) water;

    (e) optionally, a fragrance, a hydrotrope, a colorant, a dye, a buffer, a chelating agent, an electrolyte, an anti-microbial agent, a solvent, a stain and soil repellent, a lubricant, an odor control agent, a perfume, a fragrance release agent, an acid, a base, a solubilizing material, a stabilizer, a thickener, a defoamer, a cloud-point modifier, a preservative, a water immiscible solvent, an enzyme, and mixtures thereof; and

    (f) wherein the composition is free of precipitates, latex particles, synthetic block copolymers, silicone copolymers, cross-linked poly(acrylic) and cross-linked water-soluble polyelectrolyte; and

    (g) wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than about 1,000 centipoise; and

    (h) wherein upon dilution, the composition forms a polyelectrolyte complex.
