Abstract: Specific types of compounds that impart highly effective softening, antistatic, and ironability characterostics to and for various types of launderable fabrics (such as garments, tablecloths, draperies, and the like) through a rinse-cycle application within a standard machine laundering process are provided. Such compounds provide effective lubricity to target fibers as well as simultaneous static dissipative characteristics either alone or, as one preferred embodiment, in combination with other typical fabric softening agents. Such a composition comprising or method utilizing such compounds thus provides a relatively simple, yet highly effective manner of imparting these highly desired properties to fabrics. A fabric treated with such compounds or in accordance with this method is also provided.
