  • Patent number: 4839076
    Abstract: A pouched through the washer and dryer laundry additive product having at least one of its walls constructed of finely apertured polymeric film. In a particularly preferred embodiment, both pouch walls are constructed of finely apertured polymeric film to permit substantially full dissolution and discharge of the washer additive contained in the pouch during the washing cycle, yet retain substantially all of the dryer additive until the product is transferred into an automatic clothes dryer along with the laundered textiles. Pouched through the washer and dryer laundry additive products of the present invention deliver a significantly greater quantity of dryer additive material onto the textiles being tumble dried when contrasted with comparably constructed pouches comprised entirely of nonwoven and/or paper material.
