Abstract
Abstract Concentrated textile treatment compositions suitable for use in the rinse cycle of a textile laundering operation containing from 12.3% to 25% of water-insoluble cationic fabric softener or of a mixture thereof with a water-insoluble nonionic fabric softener in a weight ratio of cationic:nonionic softener of at least 2.5:1, and 0.1% to 3% of an alkoxylated amine, or ammonium derivative thereof, having the general formula Iwherein R, is C<sub>8</sub>-C<sub>22</sub> alkyl or alkenyl, R<sub>2</sub> is C<sub>1</sub>-C<sub>4</sub> alkyl or (C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n</sub>O)<sub>y</sub>H, where n is 2 or 3 and x, y are from 0 to 14 with (x+y) from 2 to 14. The compositions provide fabric softening/static control benefits combined with excellent storage stability and viscosity characteristics.
