Abstract:
A detergent composition comprising:(a) from about 1% to about 50%, based on the total number of discrete particles in said composition, of substantially sticky particles containing at least about 45% by weight of said sticky particles, of a substantially sticky surfactant, wherein said sticky particles have a geometric mean particle diameter size of from about 300 microns to about 700 microns with a geometric standard deviation of less than about 1.8, and a bulk density at least about 450 g/l; and(b) greater than about 35%, based on the total number of discrete particles in said composition, of substantially non-sticky particles having a geometric mean particle diameter size of from about 200 microns to about 500 microns with a geometric standard deviation of greater than about 1.2 and a bulk density of less than about 850 g/l; said non-sticky particles containing less than about 1% by weight of a sticky surfactant and wherein the total amount of detersive surfactant in said composition is at least about 15% by weight of said composition.
