Fabric softener rinsing agents

An aqueous soft-rinsing agent comprising as an active ingredient an effective amount of a mixture of two soft-rinsing components containing a first component and a second component, wherein the

• (a) first component is a quaternary compound of the formula:
• ##STR36## wherein each R is independently hydrogen or alkyl containing 1-6 carbon atoms;
• each R.sup.1 is hydrogen or an alkylcarbonyl group containing 15-23 carbon atoms, provided that at least one of R.sub.1 is an alkylcarbonyl group;
• each R.sup.3 is an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy groups;
• each R.sup.2 is an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms which may be unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy groups, or is a group of the formula ##STR37## R.sup.13 is an alkyl group containing 8-22 carbon atoms;
• R.sup.12 is an alkyl group containing 1-4 carbon atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy groups;
• R.sup.11 is hydrogen or alkyl containing 1-6 carbon atoms;
• R.sup.10 is hydrogen or alkylcarbonyl group containing 14-22 carbon atoms;
• A is an anion of a quaternizing agent;
• n is 0 or 1;
• x and y are independently 0 or 1 with (x+y)+(3-n)=4;
• m is 1 or 2;
• and
• g is 1, 2 or 3;
