A process of removing soil and/or stains from fabrics by immersing the fabrics in a peroxygen bleach bath containing as a peroxygen activator, an anhydride of a carboxylic acid with a sulfonic acid selected from the formulae consisting of R1-(SO2OC(O)-R2)n and (R1-SO2OC(O))nR2 wherein n is an integer of 1 to 3; each of R1 and R2, which may be alike or different, is selected from the class consisting of a 1 to 3 valent hydrocarbon radical derived from an alkane of 1 to 16 carbon atoms, a cycloalkane of 3 to 7 carbon atoms and an arene of 6 to 12 aromatic carbon atoms while taken together R1 and R2 can complete an o-phenylene or an o-naphthalene ring, said hydrocarbon radicals optionally bearing 1 to 3 substituents selected from the class consisting of alkoxy of 1 to 16 carbon atoms on the arene, aliphatic carboxamido of 1 to 16 carbon atoms on the arene, alkyl of 1 to 16 carbon atoms on the arene, benzamido on the arene, nitro, chlorine, bromine and fluorine. Also described are dry blend compositions containing the activator and peroxygen. |
