Abstract
A method of treating wet or dry fabrics in a dryer the method comprises the steps of placing the fabrics into the dryer, delivering a liquid composition onto the fabrics and drying the fabrics, the composition comprising a solvent and active ingredients wherein the active ingredients have a Maximum Stickiness of about 2500 Force (g) as measured under the conditions defined herein.

A method of treating wet or dry fabrics in a dryer, the method comprising the steps of placing the fabrics into the dryer, delivering a liquid composition onto the fabrics and drying the fabrics, the composition comprising a solvent and active ingredients, wherein the active ingredients have a Maximum Stickiness of about 2500 g, said composition comprising by weight percentage from about 0.005% to about 1% of the active ingredient siloxane surfactant having the general formula:
- R1—(CH3)2SiO—[(CH3)2SiO]a—[(CH3)(R1)SiO]b—Si(CH3)2—R1
- wherein a+b are from about 1 to about 50, wherein at least one R1 is a poly(ethyleneoxide/propyleneoxide) copolymer group having the general formula:
- —(CH2)nO(C2H4O)c(C3H6O)dR2
- wherein n is selected from 3 or 4;
- the total c (for all polyalkyleneoxy side groups) has a value of from about 1 to about 100;
- the total d is from 0 to about 14;
- the total c+d has a value of from about 5 to about 150;
- and each R2 is the same or different and is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and an acetyl group.
