Abstract

A packaged composition including a plurality of particles in a package, wherein the particles include: more than about 40% by weight of the particles of polyethylene glycol, wherein the polyethylene glycol has a weight average molecular weight from about 5000 to about 11000; and from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of the particles of perfume; wherein substantially all of the particles in the package have a substantially flat base and a height measured orthogonal to the base and together the particles have a distribution of heights, wherein the distribution of heights has a mean height between about 1 mm and about 5 mm and a height standard deviation less than about 0.3.

Claims (26)

1. A packaged composition comprising a plurality of particles in a package, wherein said particles comprise:

polyethylene glycol, wherein said polyethylene glycol has a weight average molecular weight from about 5000 to about 11000; and

from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of said particles of perfume;

wherein substantially all of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and said particles together have a distribution of maximum base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum base dimensions has a mean maximum base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

2. The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein substantially all of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and have a major axis in line with said maximum base dimension and a maximum minor base dimension measured orthogonal to said major axis and in plane with said base and together said particles have a distribution of maximum minor base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum minor base dimensions has a mean maximum minor base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum minor base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

3. The package composition according to claim 1 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume.

4. The packaged composition according to claim 3 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.

5. The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume and unencapsulated perfume.

6. The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

7. The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 90% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and together said particles have a distribution of maximum base dimensions, wherein said distribution of maximum base dimensions has a mean maximum base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

8. The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein more than about 90% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and said particles together have a distribution of maximum base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum base dimensions has a mean maximum base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.3.

9. The packaged composition according to claim 8 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

10. The package composition according to claim 9 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume.

11. The packaged composition according to claim 10 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.

12. The packaged composition according to claim 11 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume and unencapsulated perfume.

13. The packaged composition according to claim 1 , wherein said particles comprise more than about 40% by weight of said particles of polyethylene glycol.

14. A packaged composition comprising a plurality of particles in a package, wherein said particles comprise:

polyethylene glycol, wherein said polyethylene glycol has a weight average molecular weight from about 5000 to about 11000; and

from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of said particles of perfume;

wherein substantially all of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and have a major axis in line with said maximum base dimension and a maximum minor base dimension measured orthogonal to said major axis and in plane with said base and together said particles have a distribution of maximum minor base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum minor base dimensions has a mean maximum minor base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum minor base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

15. The packaged composition according to claim 14 , wherein said particles comprises between about 0.1% and about 20% by weight encapsulated perfume.

16. The packaged composition according to claim 14 , wherein more than about 95% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and have a major axis in line with said maximum base dimension and a maximum minor base dimension measured orthogonal to said major axis and in plane with said base and together said particles have a distribution of maximum minor base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum minor base dimensions has a mean maximum minor base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum minor base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

17. The packaged composition according to claim 16 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.

18. The packaged composition according to claim 17 , wherein said perfume comprises encapsulated perfume.

19. The packaged composition according to claim 14 , wherein more than about 99% of said particles in said package have a substantially flat base and a maximum base dimension and have a major axis in line with said maximum base dimension and a maximum minor base dimension measured orthogonal to said major axis and in plane with said base and together said particles have a distribution of maximum minor base dimensions wherein said distribution of maximum minor base dimensions has a mean maximum minor base dimension between about 2 mm and about 7 mm and a maximum minor base dimension standard deviation less than about 0.5.

20. The packaged composition according to claim 19 , wherein said particles have an individual mass between about 0.1 mg to about 5 g.
