Abstract: A dryer sheet is provided comprising a liquid fabric treating composition having at least one active ingredient which is retained in liquid form within a substrate, preferably a sheet of non-woven material. The dryer sheet is introduced into a rotary clothes dryer with laundered, damp clothing where an effective amount of the active ingredient is transferred into the fabric of the articles of clothing during a drying cycle as a result of contact of the liquid fabric treating composition with water contained within the damp clothing.

Abstract: A method for effectively transferring a fabric treating composition containing a limited amount or no cationic compounds to wet clothing within a clothes washing machine comprises operating the washing machine in the conventional fashion through the rinse cycle. The liquid fabric treating composition is introduced into the washing machine with the saturated clothing after completion of the rinse cycle but in advance of the spin cycle. The liquid fabric treating composition and the saturated clothing are gently tumbled together so that an effective amount of the liquid fabric treating composition may be transferred to the clothing as a result of contact of the liquid fabric treating composition with water contained in the clothing. The spin cycle in then initiated, after which time the clothing may be removed from the washing machine for drying.
