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(O)R 1 , -C(O)OR 1 , -C(O)O - , -C(O)NR 1 R 2 , -OC(O)R 1 , -OC(O)OR 1 , -OC(O)NR 1 R 2 , -S(O) 2 R 1 , -S(O) 2 OR 1 , -S(O) 2 O - , -S(O) 2 NR 1 R 2 , -NR 1 C(O)R 2 , -NR 1 C(O)OR 2 , -NR 1 C(O)SR 2 , -NR 1 C(O)NR 2 R 3 , -OR 1 , -NR 1 R 2 , -P(O) 2 R 1 , -P(O)(OR 1 ) 2 , -P(O)(OR 1 )O - , and -P(O)(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(O)R 1 , -C(O)OR 1 , -C(O)O - , -C(O)NR 1 R 2 , -OC(O)R 1 , -OC(O)OR 1 , -OC(O)NR 1 R 2 , -S(O) 2 R 1 , -S(O) 2 OR 1 , -S(O) 2 O - , -S(O) 2 NR 1 R 2 , -NR 1 C(O)R 2 , -NR 1 C(O)OR 2 , -NR 1 C(O)SR 2 , -NR 1 C(O)NR 2 R 3 , -OR 1 , -NR 1 R 2 , -P(O) 2 R 1 , -P(O)(OR 1 ) 2 , -P(O)(OR 1 )O - , and -P(O)(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. <EOS>
