Abstract

The invention relates to an article comprising mobile or immobilized softener composition contained inside laminated plies, which plies are oriented for improved dryer fabric softening and antistatic performance when placed in a dryer with a load of wet fabrics. More specifically, the invention relates to an article comprising releasable fabric softener enclosed inside a flexible water-permeable two ply laminate wherein one of said plies is a first ply which comprises a special tissue which is oriented so that the second ply is less readily absorbent to molten fabric softener than the first ply, whereby the laminate provides improved fabric softening and antistatic performance.
