Claims22
A moist flexible sheet having an effective amount of a gelled or liquid fabric-treatment composition releasably absorbed thereinto, which composition consists essentially of a fabric-treatment agent;
- a dispersing agent present in an amount effective to stabilize the fabric-treatment composition onto the flexible sheet and to promote the release of the fabric-treatment composition on fabric articles while leaving no significant undesirable visible residue on the fabric article;
- and a liquid vehicle in an amount effective to suspend the dispersing agent and the fabric-treatment agent, which liquid vehicle is selected from the group consisting of water, an organic solvent, and mixtures thereof.
A moist flexible sheet having an effective amount of a gelled or liquid fabric-softener formulation releasably absorbed thereinto, which formulation consists essentially of a fabric-softening agent;
- a dispersing agent in an amount effective to stabilize the fabric-softening formulation onto the flexible sheet and to promote the release of the fabric-softening formulation on fabric articles while leaving no significant undesirable visible residue on the fabric article;
- and a liquid vehicle in an amount effective to suspend the dispersing agent and the fabric-softening agent, which liquid vehicle is selected from the group consisting of water, an organic solvent, and mixtures thereof.
A fabric-treatment kit comprising, packaged in association:
- (a) at least one bag having an opening comprising a fastening system, and
- (b) at least one moist flexible sheet having an effective amount of a gelled or liquid fabric-treatment composition releasably absorbed thereinto, which composition consists essentially of a fabric-treatment agent;
- a dispersing agent in an amount effective to stabilize the fabric-treatment composition onto the flexible sheet and to promote the release of the fabric-treatment composition on fabric articles while leaving no significant undesirable visible residue on the fabric article;
- and a liquid vehicle in an amount effective to suspend the dispersing agent and the fabric-treatment agent, which liquid vehicle is selected from the group consisting of water, an organic solvent, and mixtures thereof.
