Polyquat anionic scavengers for rinse cycle fabric softeners

A rinse cycle fabric softener concentrate consisting essentially of a blend of:

• (i) from about 3 to about 40 weight % of at least one polyquat selected from the group consisting of:
• (a) a quat having structural formula (I):
• where R1 is a C10-24 alkyl, an ester having the formula R1C(O)OR— where R1 is defined above and R is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-6 alkylene, or an amide having the formula R1C(O)NR— where R1 and R are as defined above;
• each R2 independently is a —(AO)1-6H group where A is a C2-4 straight chained or branched alkyl;
• each R3 independently is a C1-6 alkyl;
• Y is from 1 to 6 and A is an anion,
• (b) a quat having structural formula (II):
• wherein R1 is a C10-24 alkyl, an ester having the formula R1C(O)OR— where R1 is defined above and R is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-6 alkylene, or an amide of the formula R1C(O)NR— where R1 and R are as defined above;
• each R4 independently is a C1-6 alkyl, or a —(AO)1-6H group where A is a C2-4 straight chained or branched alkyl;
• each R5 independently is a C1-6 alkyl;
• Y is from 1 to 6;
• x is from 1 to 5;
• n is the number of moles of monovalent anion A− to provide a net zero charge;
• and A is a monovalent anion, and
• (c) a combination of quats having structural formulas (I) and (II);
• and
• (ii) from about 60 to about 97 weight % of a cationic fabric softener agent, said agent being selected from the group consisting of ester-containing quaternary ammonium compounds, amido amine quaternary ammonium compounds, imidazoline quats and mixtures and salts thereof.
