Abstract
Antistatic agents useful in combination with fluorochemical-containing, soil-resistant, carpet-treating compositions for treating carpets having synthetic fiber pile. The antistatic agents comprise certain dialkyl sulfate quaternary salts of N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) amines. The carpet treatments of this invention provide synthetic fiber pile carpets with an improved balance of performance and aesthetic properties.
