A method for hand washing dishes comprises contacting dishes with an aqueous solution containing polyhydroxy amine compound and one or more surfactant materials.

Method for hand washing dishes containing polyhydroxy amines

The present invention relates to softening compounds; stable, homogeneous, preferably concentrated, aqueous liquid and solid textile treatment compositions; and intermediate compositions and/or processes for making said compositions. The compositions of the present invention contain diester quaternary ammonium compounds wherein the fatty acyl groups have an Iodine Value of from greater than about 5 to less than about 100, a cis/trans isomer weight ratio of greater than about 30/70 when the Iodine Value is less than about 25, the level of unsaturation being less than about 65% by weight, wherein said compounds are capable of forming concentrated aqueous compositions with concentrations greater than about 13% by weight at an Iodine Value of greater than about 10 without viscosity modifiers other than normal polar organic solvents present in the raw material of the compound or added electrolyte.

Concentrated biodegradable quaternary ammonium fabric softener

Compositions are disclosed containing fabric softener compound having two hydrophobic groups attached to the remainder of the compound through ester linkages (DEQA), said compositions being concentrated and containing viscosity/dispersibility modifiers which are single long chain cationic surfactants, highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactants and/or mixtures thereof. Premixes of the DEQA and viscosity modifiers to lower the viscosity of the molten DEQA are disclosed. Processes for making aqueous liquid compositions from solid particulate compositions containing the DEQA are also disclosed.

Concentrated fabric softener compositions containing biodegradable

The present invention relates to stable, homogeneous, preferably concentrated, aqueous liquid textile treatment compositions that contain biodegradable diester quaternary ammonium compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein each Q is --O--(O)C-- or --C(O)--O--;
