Abstract

The present disclosure provides compositions for use as in-rinse softeners for textiles. The compositions can be in the form of liquid fabric softeners that can be configured to substantially avoid build-up on treated fabrics. In particular, the compositions can comprise predominately water and at least a conditioning agent, such as a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt, that will provide conditioning and softening effects to a treated fabric without leaving behind undesired build-up. The compositions optionally may include further components, such as anti-static agents, chlorine scavengers, preservatives, and acidifying agents.
