Abstract: Per-acids and per-acid precursor compounds of the general type RXAOOH and RXAL, wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group, X is a hetero-atom. A is a carbonyl bridging group and L is a leaving group, especially oxybenzenesulfonate, are useful bleaching compounds for fabrics. Laundry products containing same are disclosed.

Abstract: Liquid textile treatment compositions in the form of isotropic solutions comprising water-insoluble di-C.sub.16 -C.sub.24 optionally hydroxy-substituted alkyl, alkaryl or alkenyl cationic fabric softener, at least about 70% of the fabric softener consisting of one or more components together having a melting completion temperature of less than about 20.degree. C., a water-insoluble nonionic extender, especially C.sub.10 -C.sub.40 hydrocarbons or esters of mono- or polyhydric alcohols with C.sub.8 -C.sub.24 fatty acids, and a water-miscible organic solvent. The concentrates have improved formulation stability and dispersibility combined with excellent fabric softening characteristics.
