Laundry compositions having antistatic and fabric softening properties, and laundry detergent sheets containing the same

A laundry sheet comprising:

• a) a water soluble or water insoluble substrate;
• and
• b) a composition which comprises a complex of the formula I ##STR2## wherein R is a C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 alkyl or alkenyl;
• R.sup.1 is
• --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.x --R.sup.10 in which R.sup.10 is hydrogen, a branched or linear C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group, or a branched or linear C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 alkenyl group, and x is 1-20, or
• a C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 alkyl or alkenyl;
• R.sup.2 is
• --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.y --R.sup.10 in which R.sup.10 is hydrogen, a branched or linear C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group, or a branched or linear C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 alkenyl group, and y is 1-20, or
• a C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 alkyl or alkenyl;
• A.sup..crclbar. is an anion which is a sulfonate, sulfate, carboxylate, or phosphate;
• and
• R.sup.3 is --(OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n O--R.sup.11 in which R.sup.11 may be a branched or linear C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl group, or a branched or linear C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 alkenyl group, and n is 1-20;
• with the proviso that both R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 cannot be a C.sub.12 -C.sub.20 alkyl or alkenyl group;
• wherein the composition is present on the substrate in an amount effective to provide antistatic and/or fabric softening properties to textiles when placed in contact with the textiles.
