Fabric softener rinsing agents

Claim 1

An aqueous soft-rinsing agent comprising as an active ingredient an effective amount of a mixture of two soft-rinsing components containing a first component and a second component, wherein the (a) first component is a quaternary compound of the formula: ##STR36## wherein each R is independently hydrogen or alkyl containing 1-6 carbon atoms; each R 1 is hydrogen or an alkylcarbonyl group containing 15-23 carbon atoms, provided that at least one of R 1 is an alkylcarbonyl group; each R 3 is an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy groups; each R 2 is an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms which may be unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy groups, or is a group of the formula ##STR37## R 13 is an alkyl group containing 8-22 carbon atoms; R 12 is an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy groups; R 11 is hydrogen or alkyl containing 1-6 carbon atoms; R 10 is hydrogen or alkylcarbonyl group containing 14-22 carbon atoms; A is an anion of a quaternizing agent; n is 0 or 1; x and y are independently 0 or 1 with (x+y)+(3-n)=4; m is 1 or 2; and g is 1, 2 or 3; and (b) the second component comprising at least one compound of the formula: ##STR38## wherein R 4 is an alkyl radical having 8-22 carbon atoms; R 5 is hydrogen or R 6 ; R 6 is CHX--CHY--O; X and Y are independently hydrogen or alkyl containing 1-6 carbon atoms with the proviso that X and Y cannot simultaneously be alkyl; R 14 is hydrogen or alkylcarbonyl group containing 14-22 carbon atoms; R 8 and R 18 are independently an alkyl group containing 11-17 carbon atoms; Z and Z 3 are independently water-soluble monobasic or polybasic anion; b is 1, 2, or 3; d is 0-6; a is b+1; and f and f 3 are independently 1, 2, or 3.
