Abstract:
A method of controlling wrinkles in fabric comprising the step of dispensing an effective amount of a wrinkle controlling composition onto said fabric using a spray dispenser, wherein said wrinkle controlling composition comprises:(a) an aqueous base comprising water; (b) optionally, an effective amount to reduce surface tension of surfactant; (c) optionally, a solvent and/or plasticizer; (d) optionally, an effective amount of a fabric care polysaccharide to enhance wrinkle control; (e) optionally, an effective amount to absorb malodor of an odor control agent; (f) optionally, an effective amount of a buffering system sufficient to provide an effective amount of buffering capacity. (g) optionally, an effective amount to provide olfactory effects of perfume; (h) optionally, an effective amount to kill, or reduce the growth of microbes, of antimicrobial active; (i) optionally, an effective amount to provide improved antimicrobial action of aminocarboxylate chelator; (j) optionally, an effective amount of solubilized, water-soluble, antimicrobial preservative to inhibit or regulate microbial growth; (k) optionally, an effective amount of a whiteness preservative to mitigate the yellowing of treated fabrics; and (l) optionally, adjunct ingredients selected from the group consisting of odor-controlling materials, chelating agents, viscosity control agents, antistatic agents, insect and moth repelling agents, colorants, anti-clogging agents, agents for pH adjustment, buffering agents, and mixtures thereof; and wherein said spray dispenser provides a spray pattern having a volume per unit of surface area of less than about 0.011 ml/cm2.
