The present invention provides a device (100,200) to improve the drying performance of a tumble dryer, comprising a substantially curved and three-dimensional body portion (102,202) and a heat reflective layer (104,204) disposed on an outwardly facing surface of the body portion. A method of manufacturing a device to improve the drying performance of a textile drying apparatus is also provided.

A dryer-activated product having a plurality of discrete dryer sheets having a non-woven fibrous substrate, each dryer sheet having at least a first portion, a second portion, and a frangible boundary between the first portion and the second portion, and each of the first portion and the second portion having at least about 0.35 grams of a fabric conditioning active composition.

A dryer sheet can be configured to be 100% organic and anti-bacterial. The dryer sheet can have one or more layers of pure hemp material that is woven into a configuration that allows for four or more uses without shredding or otherwise having degraded cleaning of laundry being dried. One or more scents and essential oils may be incorporated into the dryer sheet to impart a predetermined aroma into the laundry being dried.

The present invention relates to fabric cleaning and/or treatment compositions as well as methods of making and using same. Such fabric cleaning and/or treatment compositions contain species of metathesized unsaturated polyol esters that have the correct rheology. Thus, such species of metathesized unsaturated polyol esters provide unexpectedly improved softening performance and formulability.

Disclosed in certain embodiments are compositions for malodor reduction in fabric and methods for reducing malodor in fabric.

The present invention relates to freshening compositions and devices comprising same that comprise a composition having a viscosity of from about 1 mPa.Math.s to about 50,000 mPa.Math.s comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such compositions. The disclosed malodor reduction compositions do not unduely interfere with the scent of the freshening compositions and devices that comprise such technologies and the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with such freshening compositions and devices.

In one aspect, an example article for treating a textile with an antimicrobial agent includes: (a) a nonwoven multicomponent sheet, wherein the nonwoven multicomponent sheet comprises at least two materials; and (b) an antimicrobial agent comprising at least one of a metal ion or quaternary ammonium compound having antimicrobial activity, wherein an efficacious amount of at least one of the metal ion or quaternary ammonium compound transfers to the textile during a laundry cycle.

A method for delivering one or more oral care active agents to a mammal's mouth using a nonwoven web of filaments and/or fibers containing one or more oral care active agents that are releasable from the filaments and/or fibers is provided.

Dryer sheets having branched polyester polymers and methods of making and using such dryer sheets. Such dryer sheets, can have a variety substrate materials and provide the desired level of performance without the technical and economic drawbacks of conventional dryer sheets.

Fibrous structures containing a plurality of wood pulp fibers and a surface having thereon a surface softening composition containing a metathesized unsaturated polyol ester having one or more of the following properties: (i) a weight average molecular weight of from about 5,000 Daltons to about 50,000 Daltons; (ii) an oligomer index from greater than 0 to 1; and (iii) an iodine value of from about 30 to about 200
is provided.
