Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of shaping a fibrous material and treatment compositions therefor. The method comprises providing a treatment composition comprising an active agent and a photocatalyst, applying the treatment composition to the fibrous material to form a treated fibrous material, mechanically shaping the treated fibrous material, and exposing the treated fibrous material to electromagnetic radiation. The treatment composition comprises an active agent, wherein the active agent comprises a sugar; and a photocatalyst.
Abstract:
A lighted dispenser (10) having a light housing (60) comprising a power source (40) and source of light (20) conductively connected to the power source (40) and a treatment composition reservoir (70) operatively connected to the light housing (60), the reservoir (70) having a dispensing outlet (80) wherein the lighted dispenser (10) is sized and dimensioned to fit within an interior portion of a washing appliance. The lighted dispenser (10) is used for irradiating with a visible light a treatment composition comprising a photoactive component in contact with laundry.
