Abstract: A fabric softening and antistatic liquid laundry detergent composition includes synthetic anionic organic detergent, bentonite and higher aliphatic isostearamide antistat in an aqueous medium. The liquid detergent composition preferably contains a builder for the detergent component, such as polyphosphate and/or carbonate. Also within the invention is a process for washing and drying laundry, utilizing the described liquid detergent in the washing operation, whcih produces laundry that is soft and static-free or of low electrostatic charge despite having been subjected to a tumble drying process or similar static charging drying process, which normally causes laundry of similar fabrics to become electrostatically charged, resulting in objectionable "static cling".

Abstract: A particulate fabric softening and antistatic built detergent composition includes synthetic organic detergent, builder for the detergent, bentonite and higher aliphatic isostearamide antistat. The bentonite and antistat are often preferably agglomerated together and may be admixed with spray dried detergent "base beads" which are preferably of similar particle sizes and which include anionic synthetic organic detergent and builder, to make the fabric softening and antistatic detergent composition. Also within the invention is a process for washing and drying laundry which produces laundry that is soft and static-free or of low electrostatic charge despite having been subjected to a tumble drying process which normally makes laundry of similar fabrics electrostatically charged and subject to objectionable "static cling".

Abstract: N-alkylisostearamides useful as antistatic agents for laundered fabrics; detergent compositions containing an effective antistatic amount of said amide; and a method of protecting fabrics against acquiring static electricity by contacting fabrics with said isostearamides or detergent compositions during laundering. These compounds provide antistatic protection without reducing optical brightener and detergency performance of the detergent composition.
