A method for treating textile articles comprising the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition comprising a leuco composition, a laundry care ingredient and a mixture of anti-oxidants; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; (c) placing the textile articles in contact with the liquid medium; (d) depositing at least some portion of the leuco composition onto the textile articles; (e) optionally, rinsing the textile; and (f) drying the textile articles, wherein the textile articles after 1 day of storage provide a whiteness benefit to cotton that is greater than the initial whiteness benefit achieved after drying; wherein the leuco composition is selected from one or more compounds of Formula I: wherein the ratio of Formula I to its oxidized form is at least 1:3; wherein each individual R o, R m and R p group on each of rings A, B and C is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium and R 5; wherein each R 5 is independently selected from the group consisting of halogens, nitro, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, alkaryl, substituted alkaryl, -C R 1, -C OR 1, -C O -, -C NR 1 R 2, -OC R 1, -OC OR 1, -OC NR 1 R 2, -S 2 R 1, -S 2 OR 1, -S 2 O -, -S 2 NR 1 R 2, -NR 1 C R 2, -NR 1 C OR 2, -NR 1 C SR 2, -NR 1 C NR 2 R 3, -OR 1, -NR 1 R 2, -P 2 R 1, -P (OR 1) 2, -P (OR 1)O -, and -P (O -) 2; wherein at least one of the R o and R m groups on at least one of the three rings A, B or C is hydrogen; wherein G is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and deuterium; wherein R 1, R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, alkaryl, substituted alkaryl, and R 4; R 4 is a organic group composed of one or more organic monomers with said monomer molecular weights ranging from 28 to 500; and wherein any charge present in any of the compounds is balanced with a suitable independently selected internal or external counterion. wherein the ratio of Formula I to its oxidized form is at least 1:3; wherein each individual R o, R m and R p group on each of rings A, B and C is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium and R 5; wherein each R 5 is independently selected from the group consisting of halogens, nitro, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, alkaryl, substituted alkaryl, -C R 1, -C OR 1, -C O -, -C NR 1 R 2, -OC R 1, -OC OR 1, -OC NR 1 R 2, -S 2 R 1, -S 2 OR 1, -S 2 O -, -S 2 NR 1 R 2, -NR 1 C R 2, -NR 1 C OR 2, -NR 1 C SR 2, -NR 1 C NR 2 R 3, -OR 1, -NR 1 R 2, -P 2 R 1, -P (OR 1) 2, -P (OR 1)O -, and -P (O -) 2; wherein at least one of the R o and R m groups on at least one of the three rings A, B or C is hydrogen; wherein G is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and deuterium; wherein R 1, R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, alkaryl, substituted alkaryl, and R 4; R 4 is a organic group composed of one or more organic monomers with said monomer molecular weights ranging from 28 to 500; and wherein any charge present in any of the compounds is balanced with a suitable independently selected internal or external counterion.
