A liquid fluorescent whitening agent formulation comprising: a) a compound of formula (1), in which R represents hydrogen, 1-5 C-alkyl, 1-5 C-alkoxy or halogen, M represents hydrogen, an alkaline- or alkaline earth-metal, or ammonium; b) a polyhydroxy compound; c) 5 to 95% water, whereby the ratio of the compound of Formula (1) to the polyhydroxy compound is between 10:90 and 90:10 parts by weight and the total weight of these compounds in the formulation is between 5 and 95% and, optionally, auxiliary stabilizing agents and the use thereof for the manufacture of detergents with improved shade consistency.

Biphenyl-substituted triazines

The invention relates to the use of fabric softener compositions comprising: (a) as active substance, a quaternary ammonium compound of formula (1), in which R is the aliphatic radical of tallow fatty acid, in particular a mono- or polyunsaturated aliphatic C radical; and (b) is a nitrogen-free polydiorganosiloxane having terminal silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups; for the treatment of textile fibre materials. The fabric softener compositions impart a soft handle to the treated textile and are readily biodegradable. The fibre materials treated with the novel fabric softener compositions are very particularly characterized by good rewettability
