Abstract
A fabric conditioning composition comprises a fabric conditioning agent including a cationic fabric softening material, together with an inorganic material capable of precipitating a metal hydroxide or hydrated oxide at a pH of about 7.5 of less in water. The latter material is preferably aluminum chlorhydrate. A typical composition contains about 4% quaternary ammonium cationic fabric softener and from 0.5% to 1.5% aluminum chlorhydrate. The compositions are useful as rinse products and give improved fabric softness in the presence of anionic carry-over from the wash.
