Textile treatment compositions

Claim 1

An aqueous textile treatment composition comprising: (a) from 13.5% to 20% of substantially water-insoluble cationic fabric softener or of a mixture thereof with nonionic fabric softener in a weight ratio of cationic softener:nonionic softener of at least 2.5:1, said cationic softener being selected from the group consisting of di-C 12 -C 24 alkyl and alkenyl quaternary ammonium salts, di-C 12 -C 24 alkyl and alkenyl imidazolinium salts and mixtures thereof, (b) from 0.3% to 2.5% of an alkoxylated amine, or ammonium derivative thereof, of the general formula: ##STR8## wherein R 1 is a C 16 -C 22 alkyl or alkenyl group, n is 2 and x and y are each a number average in the range from 1 to 2, the sum total of x and y being 2 or 3, (c) from 600 to 1000 parts per million of electrolyte, and (d) from 0.1% to 5% of a polyethyleneglycol having an average molecular weight in the range from 1000 to 40,000, wherein the composition has a pH in the range from 3.5 to 7.0 and is in the form of a particulate dispersion of cationic fabric softener in an aqueous solution of alkoxylated amine or ammonium derivative thereof.
