The compositions of the present invention consist essentially of (I) a reaction product, (II) a nonaqueous liquid continuous phase, and (III) a moderately hydrophobic particulate stabilizing aid. Component (I) is prepared by heating a mixture of (i) a polyorganosiloxane fluid, (ii) a silicon compound, (iii) a finely divided filler and (iv) a catalytic amount of a compound for promoting the reaction of components (i) to (iii) at a temperature of 50.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. The compositions of the present invention can additionally contain (IV) at least one nonionic silicone surfactant, and (V) a nonreinforcing inorganic filler.

Stable dispersible silicone compositions

Disclosed are aqueous liquid detergent compositions comprising dispersed particles of a silicone-based suds suppressor system and a separately added moderately hydrophobic particulate silica stabilizing agent. Such a separately added stabilizing agent serves to retard coalescence and coagulation of the suds suppressor particles and thus enhances the storage stability of the suds suppressor-containing detergent compositions of this invention.

A method of enhancing the rewettability of fabrics treated in a laundering operation in which the fabrics are contacted with a mixture including a rinse cycle fabric softening conditioning composition capable of producing on the fabrics a hydrophobic surface, and a hydrophobic cationic emulsion of a silicone polymer. Preferably, the fabric softening conditioning composition includes a cationic compound selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium salts and organic based compounds having C.sub.12 to C.sub.18 hydrocarbon chain molecules of amines, esters, acids, or amine oxides, and the silicone polymer is a highly branched and crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane.
