ABSTRACT:
A liquid fabric softener dispenser for use in conjunction with dispensing fabric softener on clothes during drying of the clothes in a dryer. The dispenser is constructed of a relatively soft, integral and absorbent material that fills virtually the entire dispenser and is continuous with the exterior thereof except for an a axial bore extending from the surface of the dispenser inward. The bore receives liquid fabric softener poured thereinto through a mouth situated on the surface of the dispenser A sleeve constructed of non-absorbent material surrounds the mouth of the bore and extends partially along the length of the bore in order to prevent liquid fabric softener from overly wetting the mouth of the bore. A cap is utilized in conjunction with the sleeve to permit liquid softener from escaping from the bore. The material of construction of the dispenser is porous throughout and absorbent of the fabric softener such that the fabric softener migrates through the material from the bore to the surface. The fabric softener migrates due to heat and tumbling in the dryer outwardly toward the surface of the dispenser so as to engage clothing coming into contact with the dispenser during tumbling in the dryer.
