Softening agent for textiles, aqueous solution of softening agent for textiles and method for producing same, and textile and method for producing same

A method for producing an aqueous solution of a softening agent for textiles, the method being characterized by adding first and second components of a softening agent for textiles to water, wherein

• the first component of a softening agent for textiles contains a compound (A),
• the second component of a softening agent for textiles contains a crosslinking agent (B), and
• the compound (A) is a non-silicone compound having a polyoxyalkylene chain in the molecule, and has two or more functional groups (R1) each capable of producing an ether, an ester, or a nitrogen-containing compound upon reacting with the crosslinking agent (B), each of the functional groups (R1) being an amino group, a carboxyl group, an epoxy group, an isocyanate group, a phosphoric acid group, a phosphoric acid ester group, a sulfur-containing acid group, or a sulfur-containing acid ester group.
