摘要

[PROBLEMS] To provide a softening detergent composition which can wash a flexible fabric product or the like and shows a reduced clay mineral persistency on a cloth. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A softening detergent composition which may be for use in hand-washing and which comprises (a) 2 to 20% by mass of a clay granule comprising, as the main ingredient, a smectite clay mineral represented by the general formula (I): [Si<SUB>8</SUB>(Mg<SUB>a</SUB>Al<SUB>b</SUB>)O<SUB>20</SUB>(OH)<SUB>4</SUB>]<SUP>x-</SUP>·X/n[Me]<SUP>n+</SUP> (I) wherein 0<a=6, 0=b=4, 0.2x=12-2a-3b=1.2, Me represents at least one element selected from Na, K, Li, Ca, Mg and NH<SUB>4</SUB>, and n represents a valency of Me, provided that the Na/Ca ratio by mass in the granule is 1.0 or higher; (b) 3 to 9% by mass of a nonionic surfactant; and (c) 12 to 27% by mass of an anionic surfactant excluding a fatty acid salt of an anionic surfactant.
