Abstract
Fabric softening compositions in the form of liquid, aqueous dispersions, containing a condensation product of 1 to 1.5 mols of fatty acid or of a fatty acid ester of the formula I EQU r--co.sub.2 x (i) in which R is an aliphatic radical having about 11 to 21 carbon atoms and X is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and 1 mol of an alkylpropylenediaminoxalkylate of the formula II ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is an aliphatic radical having 12 to 22 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or methyl and x, y and z are 0 or 1, the sum of x, y and z being 1 to 2; and a cationic disinfectant. In addition to their softening properties and on account of their content of quaternary ammonium compounds having disinfecting properties, the fabric softeners of the invention have antimicrobial action.
