Abstract
An aqueous fabric conditioning composition comprises a fabric conditioner, such as a cationic fabric softener, optionally an electrolyte, selected from ionic salts of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and aluminum, at levels up to 0.5% together with a compound containing a transition metal ion, such as Cobalt (II) ions. The transition metal ion enhances bleaching of fabrics when they are subsequently washed in a bleach-containing detergent composition.
