The present invention relates to laundry and/or fabric and/or color care compositions; more particularly, to laundry and/or fabric and/or color care compositions containing xyloglucan endotransglycosylase enzyme (XET) in combination with a polysaccharide and/or oligosaccharide, preferably a xyloglucan polymer, that provide improved anti-wrinkle and/or shape retention and/or anti-shrinkage and/or tensile strength and/or color appearance and/or anti-bobbling and/or better static control, fabric softness, anti-wear properties and benefits, while at the same time providing improved cleaning benefits, over laundry and/or fabric and/or color care compositions without such combination of XET and polysaccharide and/or oligosaccharide.
