Low temperature bleaching detergent compositions comprising peracids and persalt activator

摘要

Detergent compositions, particularly low temperature bleach detergent compositions comprising an inorganic persalt and an organic peracid precursor (persalt activator) or an organic peracid in lieu thereof, containing less than 10 mg/kg, preferably not more than 5 mg/kg of reactive titanium (IV), based on the total weight of the composition, are disclosed. These compositions show improved peracid stability, thereby improving the peracid concentration during the washing and cleaning operation to give enhanced bleaching results. The detergent compositions preferably contain a silicate.
