Abstract:
A granular detergent composition having a bulk density of at least 550 kg/m.sup.3 comprising a mixture of:(a) from 35% to 85% by weight, based on the total granular composition, of a mechanically mixed granulate, having a bulk density of from 600 kg/m.sup.3 to 900 kg/m.sup.3, the granulate comprising from 15 to 50% by weight of synthetic surfactant, and from 30 to 80% by weight of inorganic compound, based upon the weight of the granulate; and(b) from 0.5 to 30% by weight, based on the total granular composition, of a spray-dried adjunct having a bulk density within the range of from 150 to 600 kg/m.sup.3 and comprising 0% by weight of synthetic surfactant, and from 45 to 95% by weight of inorganic builder comprising a sodium carbonate salt selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate monohydrate, sodium sesquicarbonate and Burkeite, all weights being based upon the weight of the adjunct.
