There is provided a liquid fabric softening composition exhibiting excellent viscosity and phase stability as well as softness performance and comprising: a) from 0.01% to 10% by weight of a fabric softener component, b) at least 0.001% of a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of: i) associative polymers having a hydrophilic backbone and at least two hydrophobic groups per molecule attached to the hydrophilic backbone, ii) cross-linked cationic polymers that is derivable from a water-soluble cationic ethylenically unsaturated monomer or blend of monomers which is cross-linked by 5 to 45ppm of a cross-linking agent comprising polyethylenic functions, and iii) mixtures thereof, c) a component capable of sequestering metal ions and selected from the group consisting of: i) chelating components selected from the group consisting of amino carboxylic acid, organo aminophosphonic acid components, and mixtures thereof, ii) polycarboxylic building components, other than those defined under i) as chelating components, comprising at least two carboxylic radicals separated from each other by not more than two carbon atoms, and, iii) mixtures thereof. c |
