1. A method of treating a fabric, said method comprising:
- a. a washing step, wherein said washing step comprises contacting said fabric with an effective amount of a detergent composition, thereby forming a washed fabric, wherein said detergent composition comprises;
i) a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant in a weight ratio of from about 1.1;
1 to about 4;
1, and wherein said anionic surfactant comprises a linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS) and alkyl ethoxylated sulfate (AES) in a weight ratio of about 0.5;
1 to about 1.5;
1;
ii) a cationic polymer, andiii) a silicone, followed byb. a rinsing step, wherein said washed fabric is contacted with an effective amount of a softener composition, thereby forming a treated fabric, wherein said softener composition comprises a fabric softening active selected from the group consisting of a quaternary ammonium compound, silicone, fatty acids or esters, sugars, fatty alcohols, alkoxylated fatty alcohols, polygvcerol esters, oily sugar derivatives, wax emulsions, fatty acid glycerides, or mixtures thereof.
