Abstract: A film-forming composition for use in preparing water-soluble films that are rapidly dissolving under cold water conditions, the composition comprising a water soluble polymer material such as polyvinyl alcohol and a principal solvent, typically diol(s) or derivative of a diol. Films made from the film-forming compositions may be used to encapsulate a variety of compositions for subsequent release into an aqueous medium. Encapsulated compositions can include various laundry detergents and additives, fabric care compositions such as fabric softening compositions and dishwashing detergents among others. When used to encapsulate compositions, the solvent system used in the film-forming composition will have at least one common solvent material as the solvent system used in the encapsulated composition to improve film dissolution and to prevent problems associated with solvent migration.

Abstract: The invention concerns the treatment of clothes for dry wrinkle resistance, in particular in-wear wrinkle resistance. The clothes are treated with an amino silicone, preferably one that contains sterically hindered functional groups. The silicone is preferably provided to the clothes in a domestic process, preferably during a process of ironing.

Abstract: The invention concerns the treatment of clothes for dry wrinkle resistance, in particular in-wear wrinkle resistance. The clothes are treated with an amphoteric polymer and secured in the desired configuration, preferably during a process of ironing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of ironing fabrics. The iron contains a refill cartridge, which contains a concentrated ironing aid. The concentrated aid is then diluted with water in the iron before it is provided to the fabrics during ironing. The aid comprises a nonionic silicone containing surfactant.
