  • Fabric cleaning/conditioning compositions
    Patent number: 4514444
    Abstract: Fabric cleaning/conditioning compositions of improved stability are disclosed for use through-the-wash in conjunction with machine dryers. This is accomplished by incorporating a low level of polyethylene glycol into small, discrete amine salt nodules. These nodules pass virtually unchanged through the wash and rinse; become entangled in the fabrics when spun or wrung out; and then melt, spread, and condition the fabrics when heated in a dryer.
