The present invention provides bleaching or detergent compositions containing a cycloaliphatic peroxyacid of general formula: <IMAGE> WHEREIN O </=m </=5, O </=n </=5 and N+M>/= 1, AND MONO OR DIETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED DERIVATIVES THEREOF, AND PROCESSES FOR WASHING/BLEACHING USING SUCH PEROXYACIDS, PREFERABLY AT A TEMPERATURE OF FROM 30 TO 60 DEG C. The peroxyacids can be generated in situ by hydrolysis or perhydrolysis of the corresponding diacyl peroxide. The peroxyacid and diacyl peroxide can be desensitized by intimate contact with a diluent e.g. lauric acid or magnesium sulphate and coated to reduce destructive interaction with other components of the detergent or bleaching composition. |
