Abstract: The present invention provides an article of manufacture or package for containing and dispensing unitized doses of a laundry additive in article form. The package comprises a plurality of laundry additive articles, means for preventing exposure of the laundry articles to moisture prior to dispensing or use, and a container having a compartment and closure for enclosing the plurality of articles in the container. The container can be a tub, tray, jar, bottle, pouch, bag, box or some combination thereof and will preferably be made from polymeric materials. Optionally, the container may have dividing means for subdividing the container compartment into subcompartments so that the container can accommodate a variety of different additives in separate compartments. Optionally, but preferably, the container closure will have child resistant features as well as a window or other means for viewing the contents of the package when the closure is in a closed position.

Abstract: Highly concentrated, preferably clear or translucent, fabric softener compositions comprising at least 40% softener active and less than about 20% water by weight of the composition for dispensing during the rinse cycle of a washing machine or for handwashing. The composition may be a liquid, granule or other standard form that is placed directly in the rinse bath or placed in a dispensing device for delayed dispensing into the rinse bath. Alternatively and preferably, the concentrated composition is incorporated or encapsulated in a unitized article for dispensing in the rinse bath or placement in a dispensing device for subsequent dispensing. The use of these compositions and articles provide added convenience and excellent fabric softening without staining or leaving residue on the fabrics.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for treating a cellulosic support to reduce the penetration of anti-adhesive agent into the support and/or to diminish its sensitivity to water. Said method consists in contacting the cellulosic support with an aqueous emulsion based on a grafted functionalised polyorganosiloxane, wherein said emulsion further contains an acrylic-type polymeric material, said polymeric material advantageously containing a styrene fraction.
