Abstract

A method of conditioning fabrics with a composition containing novel agents which contain either an ester or a NH link between a glyceric carboxyl group and a quaternary ammonium group is described. The compounds based on glyceric acid are both effective fabric conditioners and biodegradable, and may be formulated in any conventional physical form to form the fabric conditioning composition.
