Abstract

The invention relates to a fabric treatment composition comprising: a) from 50 to 95 wt. % of polyethylene glycol; b) from 0.1 to 15 wt. % of perfume; c) from 0.1 to 2.5 wt. % of cationic polymer; and, d) from 0.1 to 5 wt. % of silicone.

Claims (18)

1. A fabric treatment composition comprising:—

a) from 50 to 95 wt. % of polyethylene glycol;

b) from 0.1 to 15 wt. % of perfume;

d) from 0.1 to 2.5 wt. % of cationic polymer; and,

d) from 0.1 to 5 wt. % of an anionic silicone

wherein the composition is in the form of a pastille.

2. A composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyethylene glycol is present at a level of from 55 to 95 wt. %.

3. A composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyethylene glycol has a molecular weight of from 2,000 to 20,000.

4. A composition as claimed in claim 1 additionally comprising a secondary carrier other than polyethylene glycol at a level of from 5 to 45 wt. %, preferably from 5 to 40 wt. %.

5. A composition according to claim 4 , wherein said secondary carrier is starch.

6. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the perfume is present at a level of from 1 to 12 wt. %.

7. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the perfume comprises free perfume oil and perfume encapsulates.

8. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the cationic polymer is present at a level of from 0.1 to 2 wt. %.

9. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the cationic polymer is a cationic polysaccharide polymer.

10. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the silicone is present at a level of from 0.2 to 5 wt. %.

11. A composition as claimed in claim 1 , where in the pastille has a shape that is circular, spherical, oval, or lozenge shape.

12. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein each pastille has a mass of from 0.05 mg to 2 g.

13. A composition as claimed in claim 1 further comprising one or more of the following ingredients: shading dye, enzyme, antiredeposition polymer, dye transfer inhibiting polymer, soil release polymer, sequestrant, and/or fluorescent agent.
