1. A method of solidifying a composition, the method comprising:
(a) mixing a solidification matrix consisting of:
i) 0.25-10 wt % of a sugar selected from the group consisting of a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a sugar alcohol having at least 6 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof;ii) a carbonate; andiii) water, wherein the sugar is present in the solidification matrix in an amount of at least 0.001 parts for every 4 parts water; and (b) adding the solidification matrix to a composition consisting of a surfactant, optionally water, and one or more additional functional materials selected from the group consisting of sequestrant, builder, water conditioner, bleaching agent, filler, defoaming agent, anti-redeposition agent, stabilizing agent, dispersant, enzyme, corrosion inhibitor, fragrance, dye, thickener, and mixtures thereof to form a solidified material; wherein: carbonate is present in the solidified material at about 60-90 wt-% and phosphorus is present in the solidified material at less than about 5 wt-%; and if subjected to a temperature of 120° F., the composition is dimensionally stable and has a growth exponent of less than about 3%. |
