1. A fabric softening composition comprising(a) a fabric softener having the formula:
- ##STR17## wherein R is an unsubstituted or substituted C11 -C21 aliphatic hydrocarbon radical which, when substituted, has at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, OH, and OCH3 and (b) an adsorbent substrate having from about 10% to about 90% free space based on the overall volume of the substrate, the fabric softener being incorporated into said substrate.

Abstract
Improved anti-static fabric softening compositions, that are obtainable from certain amphoteric surface active agents, are especially useful in processes for household clothes'"'"' drying without adversely affecting the rewetting or soil-release properties of the softened fabric.
