Abstract: A textile treating composition adapted to provide a relatively permanent antistatic and dirt repellent finish and consisting essentially of an aqueous dispersion of:1. about 10% to about 20% of an antistatic agent comprising a compound of the formula ##STR1## in which R is an alkyl radical having 14 to 20 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are, each independently, alkyl, hydroxy alkyl, alkyl substituted by carboxylic and/or sulphonic acid groups, aminoalkoxyalkyl or aminoalkyl wherein the amino group is unsubstituted or substituted by hydroxyalkyl, cyanoalkylaminoalkyl or by the group R--CO-- or --R--CO--NH-alkoxyalkyl wherein R is alkyl having 14 to 20 carbon atoms, or one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is hydrogen;2. about 3% to about 35% of an aqueous dispersion of hard particles having a weight average particle diameter of less than about 2 microns;3. about 1% to about 6% of a fluorine-free inorganic or organic monobasic or polybasic acid;4. 0% to about 5% of an antimicrobic agent; and5.
