A method of in home preparation of a fabric conditioner, wherein an aqueous concentrated fabric conditioner comprising: a. 10 to 50 wt. % ester linked quaternary ammonium compound; and b. Non-ionic surfactant; is mixed with water to produce an aqueous fabric conditioner composition, wherein the ratio of non-ionic surfactant to fabric softening active is 1:10 to 1:40 by weight and the ratio of concentrated fabric conditioner composition to water is 1:20 to 1:1 by weight. A method of producing the concentrated aqueous fabric conditioner, said method comprising the step of: a. Mixing a fabric softening active and non-ionic surfactant to form a pre-mix at a temperature above 50 C.; b. Adding the premix to an aqueous composition comprising water.
