The fabrics are treated with a water-based preparation which contains alkyl oligoglycosides in combination with mixtures of mono- and diesters of saturated and unsaturated C16-22 fatty acids with diol and polyols, for example as a spray or in the form of a dryer sheet. The compositions may additionally contain auxiliaries and additives, preferably thickeners, such as in particular polymeric thickeners.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2008Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: Erik Twardawski, Manfred Weuthen, Rolf Wachter
