Claim:
A method of treating fabric in a clothes dryer, comprising: (a) providing a nonwoven substrate; (b) providing a substantially non-ionic liquid fabric treatment composition having at least one active ingredient; (c) applying the liquid fabric treatment composition to the substrate, the liquid fabric treatment composition being at substantially ambient temperature when applied to the substrate; (d) placing damp clothing containing water into the interior of the clothes dryer; (e) placing the substrate into the interior of the clothes dryer, the liquid fabric treatment composition applied to the substrate being in liquid form when the substrate is placed into the interior of the clothes dryer; (f) tumbling the damp clothing and the substrate within the interior of the clothes dryer, the damp clothing and the substrate not being enclosed together within a bag or other container during the course of a drying cycle while the damp clothing is being dried; and (g) transferring an effective amount of the at least one active ingredient from the substrate substantially evenly throughout the damp clothing during the course of the drying cycle as a result of contact of the liquid fabric treatment composition carried by the substrate with the water contained within the damp clothing.
