FABRIC SOFTENING COMPOSITION WITH CATIONIC POLYMER, SOAP, AND AMPHOTERIC SURFACTANT

摘要

An aqueous fabric softening composition suitable for use in a wash and/or rinse cycle of automatic laundry machine, the composition comprising: (a) from about 0.05% to about 2%, by weight of the composition, of a cationic quaternary cellulose ether polymer; (b) a fatty acid soap, wherein the weight ratio of the soap to the polymer is at least 2:1; and (c) from about 0.1% about 5% of an amphoteric surfactant. Also included are methods of softening and conditioning fabrics by adding the inventive composition to the wash cycle and/or rinse cycle of the automatic laundry machine.
