Patent number: 7341674Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous wrinkle controlling and, optionally, odor-absorbing, composition, preferably for use on fabric. The composition preferably comprises fabric lubricant, shape retention polymer, lithium salts, and/or plasticizers for wrinkle control and, optionally, from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight of the composition, of solubilized, water-soluble, uncomplexed cyclodextrin. Optionally, the composition can contain low molecular weight polyols; metallic salts to help control odor; nonionic surfactants to improve performance and formulatability, a humectant, etc. The composition is essentially free of any material that would soil or stain fabric. The composition is preferably applied as small particle size droplets, especially from spray containers which preferably are in association with instructions for use, especially when the composition comprises only water and perfume.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1999Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Toan Trinh, John William Smith, Raymond Edward Bolich, Jr., Earl David Brock, Marjorie Mossman Peffly, Helen Bernardo Tordil, Peter Marte Torgerson, Markus Wilhelm Altmann, Bruno Albert Jean Hubesch, Robert Mermelstein, Christian Leo Marie Vermote, Ricky Ah-Man Woo, Anthony James Burns, William Tucker Campbell, Alen David Streutker, Gayle Marie Frankenbach
