A method for manufacturing a laundry additive article wherein a polymerizable
or
crosslinkable dye or particulate soil absorber is applied to one face of a substrate
web and a cross-linker is separately applied to the coating of the dye or particulate
soil absorber to cross-link the dye or particulate soil absorber on the substrate
such that the dye or particulate soil absorber does not dissolve in the wash water.
In accordance with one embodiment, the dye or particulate soil absorber and the
cross-linker are applied as aqueous based solutions. Other laundry additives may
be applied to the substrate using other coating techniques and particularly as
a waxy or hot melt composition.
