Abstract: A stable, pourable and water dispersible liquid fabric softening composition is provided comprising (a) from about 2% to about 25% of one or more fabric softening compounds selected from among quaternary ammonium compounds and amine compounds; (b) from 0 to about 10% of a co-softening ingredient; and (c) from about 0.02% to about 3% of a defined fatty alcohol ethoxylate-diurethane polymer as a thickener to provide commercially desirable viscosities without adversely affecting the physical stability of the composition. The balance of the composition is comprised of water and optional ingredients such as an acid, an emulsifier and adjuvants.

Abstract: Fabric softening compositions which form and maintain stable aqueous dispersions in the absence of added oily perfume are disclosed. The stability of aqueous fabric softener compositions based on a mixture of an amido amine, such as bis(tallow amidoethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl amine and a quaternary diester fabric softener, such as N-methyl, N,N,N-triethanolamine ditallow ester quaternary ammonium salt is enhanced by inclusion in the composition of at least one fatty ester of a fatty acid or fatty alcohol, e.g., glycerol monostearate.
