Abstract

Fabrics are conditioned in the tumble-dryer by means of a sachet (18) containing a free-flowing fabric conditioning powder (4), the sachet contacting the fabrics directly during the drying process. The sachet (18) is provided with a relatively small number of 1-3 mm openings (23) grouped together in a limited area (25) of the sachet wall and protected, up to the point of use, by an adhesive patch (24). The fabric conditioning powder advantageously contains a substantial proportion of soap.
