Abstract

The present invention relates to dryer-activated fabric softening compositions comprising: (A) quaternary ammonium compounds; (B) a carboxylic acid salt of a tertiary amine and/or a tertiary amine ester; and (C) optionally, a nonionic softener; wherein the IV of the total number of fatty acyl groups present in (A), (B), and (C) is from about 3 to about 60. These compositions exhibit good antistatic properties as well as improved delivery from a substrate.
