A fabric conditioning detergent composition comprising in softening amounts a substituted alkanediamine fabric softener compound or mixture of compounds having the formula:
- R.sub.1 --NH--(CH.sub.2).sub.x --NH--R.sub.2
- wherein R.sub.1 contains about 10 to 22 carbon atoms and is selected from the group consisting of 1-hydroxy methyl alkyl and 2-hydroxy alkyl, R.sub.2 is H or R.sub.1, and x is an integer from 2 to 12 and a detergent, said detergent being selected from the group consisting of soap, non-soap anionic detergents, and non-ionic detergents, and alkaline builder salts.
