The substrate may take any number of suitable shapes.

Claims (11)

1. A process of making fabric care conditioning article comprising a porous dissolvable solid structure said process comprising the steps of:

a. preparing a solution comprising water, film-forming water-soluble polymer water soluble polymer, plasticizer, diester quaternary ammonium compound and optionally nonionic surfactant wherein said solution:

i. comprises from about 20% to about 50% solids by weight of said pre-mix; and

ii. has a viscosity of from about 2,500 centipoise to about 150,000 centipoise;

b. aerating said solution by introducing gas into said solution to form a wet aerated product;

c. forming said wet aerated product into a desired shape to form a shaped wet product;

d. drying said shaped wet product to a desired Remaining Water content to form a porous dissolvable solid structure; and

e. adding perfume to said porous dissolvable solid structure by spraying said perfume onto said structure.

2. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of adding perfume microcapsules to said porous dissolvable solid structure by spraying a perfume microcapsule slurry onto said structure.

3. The process of claim 1 further comprising the step of adding perfume and perfume microcapsules to said porous dissolvable solid structure.
