Abstract
Softener actives provide color maintenance benefits for fabrics. In order to inform the consumer, the compositions containing fabric softener actives are placed in packages in association with information that advises the consumer of the benefit. Highly unsaturated fabric softener active compounds, preferably containing ester linkages, are used at levels of at least about 3 grams of fabric softener active per kilogram of fabric deposited on said fabric to provide improved softening, anti-static benefits, wear benefits, color maintenance, etc., without unacceptable oily/greasy feel and/or unacceptable rewettability.
