A fabric softening and fluffing particulate detergent composition comprises a detersive proportion of an anionic synthetic organic detergent, such as sodium linear higher alkylbenzene sulfonate, a building proportion of a builder for the detergent, such as sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium carbonate and/or sodium silicate, a fabric softening proportion of bentonite, and a softening and fluffing proportion of a magnesium salt, which is at least slightly water soluble, such as magnesium sulfate. The basic detergent composition, containing the detergent and builder, sometimes with inert filler and preferably with desirable adjuvants, is preferably in the form of spray dried beads, and the bentonite and magnesium salt are preferably agglomerated together to particles of about the same size as the spray dried beads, and are mixed with the spray dried beads. The invention also relates to the mentioned agglomerate and to processes for making the detergent composition and the agglomerate. |
