An aqueous fabric conditioning composition is described comprising, (a) from 2 to 9% by weight of an active fabric softener, by weight of the total composition, wherein the active fabric softener is a quaternary ammonium compound bonded to ester having fatty acid chains comprising from 20 to 35% by weight of saturated C18 chains and from 20 to 35% by weight of monounsaturated C18 chains, by weight of the total fatty acid chains; and (b) from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of the total composition of a lump prevention agent, which is an ethoxylated non-ionic material having an HLB value of 8 to 18, wherein the aqueous conditioning composition of fabrics have a viscosity greater than 50 cps, preferably 55 to 200 cps as measured in a cup and rocker viscometer; the viscosity being continuously measured under shear stress at 106s "l for 60 seconds, at 25 ° C and where the composition leads to little or no lump formation after addition to water. |
