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.

Abstract: The invention relates to an article comprising mobile or immobilized softener composition contained inside laminated plies, which plies are oriented for improved dryer fabric softening and antistatic performance when placed in a dryer with a load of wet fabrics. More specifically, the invention relates to an article comprising releasable fabric softener enclosed inside a flexible water-permeable two ply laminate wherein one of said plies is a first ply which comprises a special tissue which is oriented so that the second ply is less readily absorbent to molten fabric softener than the first ply, whereby the laminate provides improved fabric softening and antistatic performance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a deterent composition comprising:(a) at least 0.1% of an oleoyl sarconsinate of the formula: ##STR1## wherein M is hydrogen or a cationic moiety; and (b) from about 0.05% to about 15% of a polymeric dispersing agent selected from the group selected from the group consisting of polycarboxylates, polyethylene glycol polymers, polyaspartates and mixtures thereof.
