The novel and advantageous process of treating laundry comprises predrying the washed and rinsed laundry to a predetermined degree of dryness such as to a moisture content between 5 and 70 percent and preferably to a moisture content of about 15 percent, subjecting the predried laundry, preferably in a laundry drier, to the action of laundry treating agents, such as brighteners, antistatic, softening, aromatizing, and the like agents, preferably by spraying said agents thereon, and completing drying of the laundry. Thereby, any moldy smell of the laundry and/or its becoming electrostatically charged are eliminated and/or the properties of the finished laundry are considerably improved. Drying is preferably effected in laundry dryers of the tumbler type and the treating composition is preferably sprayed on the laundry in aerosol form. |
