Under “Refreshing” makes removal, deodorization and chemical neutralization more noticeable Connections on or in a tissue and / or their masking understood with a desired fragrance.
- the term "dryer” is a rotary hot air dryer meant the clothes in a drum with warm or heated air at elevated Temperature tumbles.
- the temperature inside such The dryer is usually between approx. 40 ° C and approx. 120 ° C, but can be certain Place inside the dryer - especially near the hot air inlet (often called “Hot spots” in the dryer) - also reach up to 200 ° C. These higher ones Temperatures are also characteristic of industrial dryers or laundromat dryers.
- the temperature in the dryer is preferably above a preselectable one Period (preferably about 15 - about 45 minutes) between about 50 ° C and about 110 ° C.

Any combination of applications is of course also possible.
- the tissue treatment agent is preferably applied by dabbing using the surfactant substrate according to the invention.

- a soiled tissue product for example stained and / or in need of refreshing
- the tissue treatment agent according to the invention can be released from the surfactant substrate according to the invention in any desired manner, for example when textile products and surfactant substrate are spun together in the bag, preferably in the heated state.
- one or more tissue products and a correspondingly large, flexible sheet which carries a tissue treatment agent (surfactant substrate) are placed in a bag, the opening of which is then closed, whereupon the bag is then moved so intensively and / or is heated so that the agent is released from the flexible sheet upon contact with the fabric products.
- the fabric describes a wobble movement in the middle of the fabric products and thus causes the agent to be evenly distributed over these products. With this touch, the tissue products are cleaned, refreshed or otherwise treated with the agent.
- a bag that contains the surfactant substrate with the fabric product (s) in a rotary hot air tumble dryer place that for the necessary heat and / or movement intensity (Wobble), usually at a temperature of approx. 40 - 120 ° C (preferably 50-110 ° C) over a preselected period of time. At these temperatures is e.g. a tumbling cycle of about 15 - 45 minutes is sufficient, around the fabric treatment agent from the surfactant substrate, particularly preferably from emerge from the surfactant substrate which is fixed on the inner surface of the bag leave and to effect the cleaning or refreshing of the tissue products.

- closable, water vapor impermeable bags that can form a closed system.
- the container advantageously flexible bag, preferably contains a fastening system or a locking mechanism for the reversible opening and closing of the filling opening.
- This locking mechanism can be based, for example, on the fact that the upper edges of the container are folded over and the locking mechanism is then closed. A locking mechanism without this folding process is also conceivable.
- the device can comprise any known type of fastening system, but on the other hand can also be designed without one.
- a closing mechanism of the bag for example, a push button, zipper Velcro®, Velcro, magnetic stripe, folding, latching, clip, button, latch and / or Ziplock® system come into question.
- Zippers of the snap-in type and a closure system which are distinguished by mutually opposite strips with a reclosable adhesive are also particularly suitable.

- Lipstick, gravy or ketchup stains were applied to wool and polyester fabrics manufactured. The agent was applied to each of these stains. In all Cases the stain was removed or weakened; there was little or no residue of the agent on the fabric.
- Example 1 The agent described in Example 1 was made a total of sixteen times, with however, the alcohol chain length and ethoxylation mole number was varied in each case. Fabrics made of wool or rayon / polyester were stained with lipstick, gravy and add ketchup. Subsequently, every agent was applied to every stain brought. The results are summarized in Table 1.
