Abstract (en)

A method for conditioning fabrics in the tumble-dryer comprises applying to the fabrics a fabric conditioner in fine free-flowing powder form and comprising at least 80% by weight of a specified water-soluble soap blend and from 5-20% by weight of C16-C22 aliphatic alcohol 5-30E0 ethoxylate. The soap blend contains significant proportions of C12, C14, C16 and C18 soaps, and is preferably a blend of 45-85% tallow soap and 15-55% coconut soap: the ethoxylated alcohol is advantageously tallow alcohol 25EO. The powder may be applied from a sprinkling device that moves freely among the fabrics.
