DYE SCAVENGING ARTICLE

摘要

A dye scavenging article (148) is provided for use in scavenging extraneous random dyes from the wash and rinse waters during a laundry process. The dye scavenging article (148) is constructed to substantially prevent its being trapped or commingled with the clothing items. The dye scavenging article (148) may include a buoyant or floatation member (152). A stiffening member (164) may also be provided which maintains the dye scavenging article (148) in an open state during the washing process. This construction allows the dye scavenging article (148) to be exposed to the entire volume of wash and rinse waters during the laundry process to enhance effectiveness.
