  • Patent number: 6794356
    Abstract: A fabric softening composition including from about 1% to about 90% by weight of a fabric softening active, optionally from about 1% to about 25% by weight of a principal solvent having a ClogP of less than about 3, from about 0.05% to about 15% by weight of a malodor controlling agent, and the balance being adjunct ingredients. The malodor controlling agent is selected from the group consisting of a quaternary ammonium antimicrobial agent, cyclodextrin or mixtures of these ingredients. The present invention also relates to a method for reducing malodor by applying such a composition to a fabric article, and drying the fabric article as well as the use of such a composition on fabric articles to reduce malodor impression. An article for reducing and inhibiting the expression of malodor impression is also provided.
