摘要 |
Described is an expandable sponge article, initially substantially anhydrous useful for aromatizing and/or freshening and de-wrinkling clothes and linens (e.g., towels, sheets, pillowcases and the like) consisting of a relatively small expandable sponge having contained in the interstices thereof perfume oil and a fragrance substantivity/fabric relaxing substance. The article is specifically intended to be used on clothing and/or linens in need of de-wrinkling and aromatization and/or freshening, and such use is effected in an automatic dryer (which has different "cycles"); on operation of the "no heat" ("fluff" cycle) and/or the "low heat" cycle. The sponge article of our invention is activated by placing water thereon and thereby hydrating and thus expanding the sponge article. The thus-hydrated and expanded sponge article (or a plurality thereof, e.g., two or three sponge articles) is (are) placed in an automatic dryer along with a suitable number of articles of clothing (e.g., 1-3) and/or linens in need of freshening and/or aromatization and de-wrinkling. The dryer is then run on the "no-heat" cycle ("fluff" cycle) (ambient temperature operation) and/or "low-heat" cycle for 0.5-2 hours (per cycle). The clothing articles and/or linens are then removed from the dryer and hung and/or stretched for a relatively short period of time at the end of which they are (i) wrinkle free and (ii) freshened and/or aromatized.
