Estimating the term…
Cyclodextrin complex is suspended in polyalkylene glycol carrier material that does not displace the included material. The preferred perfume/cyclodextrin complexes, either alone or admixed with solvent (e.g., water), are preferably suspended in the carrier and then incorporated into solid, dryer-activated, fabric treatment (conditioning) compositions, preferably containing fabric softeners, more preferably cationic and/or nonionic fabric softeners. The perfume complexes provide fabrics with perfume benefits when they are rewetted after drying. Volatile perfume materials, including those materials that are commonly associated with "freshness" can be applied to the fabrics in an effective way.
Composition that is liquid at a temperature between about room temperature and about 100.degree. C. consisting essentially of an effective amount of active/cyclodextrin inclusion complex suspended in a mixture of polyalkylene glycol carrier material and polar solvent, the ratio of said carrier material to said complex being from about 0.5:1 to about 3:1, the ratio of said solvent and carrier material to said complex being from about 1:1 to about 5:1, and there being at least as much of said carrier material as said polar solvent.
