METHOD OF CONDITIONING FABRICS

摘要

A method of conditioning fabrics in running water includes adding to the water a fabric conditioning article having a dimension greater than 1cm, the article comprising a conditioning agent such as a fabric softener or an anti-static agent together with physical or chemical means for restraining the release of the conditioning agent. The article may be in the form of a sachet or block coated with an ethoxylated alcohol for restraining release. An electrolyte may be present to improve dispersibility of the conditioning agent and an antifoam material may also be present. The method enables fabrics to be conditioned in a running rinse while minimising loss of the conditioner.
