SOFTENING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

Environmentally safe, stable, pourable aqueous fabric softening compositions based on the combination of a quaternary ammonium compound and an amido amine. The softener combination comprises from as little as 1% and up to 60% and preferably 2 to 20% by weight of the composition. Methods for making the composition are also described. Softening performance is outstanding and the compositions are simple to prepare, even the more highly concentrated forms. The softener compositions are primarily intended for use in the rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine.
