A heavy duty bleaching or whitening and textile softening particulate synthetic organic detergent composition includes a combination of anionic and nonionic organic detergents, a builder or mixture of builders, an oxygen releasing bleaching agent and agglomerated essentially grit-free bentonite of certain particle sizes. Preferred compositions also include higher fatty acid soap, fluorescent brightener, water soluble builder for the anionic detergent, colourant, enzyme and perfume. In such products the agglomerated bentonite will preferably be of larger particle sizes than particles of the other detergent composition components (including particles of mixed components) and may be desirably coloured with a bluing agent. The bentonite employed will be essentially free of gritty particles of material sometimes found with bentonite, as it occurs in nature. Such particles are removable from the bentonite prior to agglomeration, by a described process. |
