Abstract: Aqueous compositions comprising water having dispersed therein (A) a cationic compound which is substantive to water rinse on textile fabrics and (B) a mixture of (i) a siloxane composed of at least 90% of RSiQ.sub.3/2 units, in which R is alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and optionally units selected from ##EQU1## units, in which R' is phenyl or a 1 to 4 carbon alkyl group, and C.sub.6 H.sub.5 SiO.sub.3/2 units and (ii) a polydiorganosiloxane.The compositions are useful as fabric conditioners in domestic and commercial laundry operations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making emery boards comprising the steps of providing a substrate selected from the group consisting of wood, cardboard and plastic sheets having first and second surfaces; adhesively applying abrasive paper on at least one surface of said substrate; forming on said abrasive surface a uniform film comprising a lubricant and a humectant selected from the groups consisting of lubricant and humectant polyethylene glycols by applying a film of a solution comprising said lubricant and humectant on said surface and drying said surface, said film being sufficiently thin so as not to impart a greasy feeling to the touch on said emery board nor interfere with the abrasive action of said board; and cutting out emery boards from said surface in the desired shape.
