The present invention is directed to a device for dispensing a unit dose water-soluble pouch containing a laundry additive during the spin cycle of a washing machine process having a spinning wash drum. The device is attached to the vertical center post of a washing machine and holds a water-soluble pouch above the high water level. During the spin cycle, the spinning center post will create sufficient centrifugal force so that the water-soluble pouch is released from the device. The water-soluble pouch will then fall into the laundry where the water-soluble pouch will dissolve when rinse water fills the machine thereby releasing the laundry additive to treat the washed articles.

The present invention is directed to a composition for improving substrate characteristics. The composition has a substrate enhancing agent, like a monohydric alcohol, and the composition reduces wrinkles in substrates that have not been subjected to ironing.

Substrate treating compositions comprising a C7 or higher monohydric alcohol

A fabric treatment article for use in a conventional home clothes dryer is described that deodorizes and freshens clothing in need of freshening without imparting additional stains. The product is particularly suited for delivering a fragrance to relatively dry clothing and can be added directly to the dryer without the need for a bag to contain the product and clothing during the dryer cycle.

Fabric treatment article and method

Substrate treating compositions

The inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product is described. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

Wrinkle reduction laundry product compositions

A process for applying relatively volatile or heat sensitive ingredients, such as perfume, to fabric dryer sheets minimizes the loss of the ingredients to the atmosphere or through degradation.

Dryer sheet process

The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry detergent product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item during the cleaning step and, therefore, reduces the need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying.

The present application relates to the inclusion of one or more wrinkle reducing ingredients in a laundry fabric softening product. The benefits are delivered to the laundered item either during the rinse step of the washing procedure or in the dryer. The need for further wrinkle reducing steps when the items are taken from the dryer or after hang drying are thereby reduced.

A concentrated aqueous fabric conditioning composition which both conditions and inhibits dye transfer is described. The composition includes a fabric conditioning active and a dye transfer inhibiting compound preferably polyvinyl pyrrolidone and a colorant. Methods of preparing and using the compositions are also described.

Dye transfer inhibiting fabric softener compositions

This invention discloses a solubility aid for very high density powders of 650 g/L or greater density and having a low particle porosity of 25% or less. The solubility aid is a non-surfactant alkylene oxide condensate.
