Abstract

A laundry conditioning agent containing up to 50% by weight of at least one fabric-softening component, at least one easier-iron component, and at least one polyether-modified siloxane as spreading agent. The fabric-softening component contains one or more quaternary ammonium compounds of the formula (II) or of the formula (V) and the easier-iron component and spreading agent are present in a weight ratio of 10:6 to 40:1.
