Abstract:
A laundry detergent composition comprising:a) a hydrophobic bleaching system selected from the group consisting of:i) hydrogen peroxide or a source thereof in an amount of form 0.1% to 60% by weight and combined with a hydrophobic peroxyacid bleach precursor in an amount of form 0.01% to 60% by weight,ii) a preformed hydrophobic peroxyacid in an amount of form 0.1% to 60% by weight wherein the preformed hydrophobic peroxyacid is selected from the group consisting of: (6-octylamino)-6-oxo-caproic acid, (6-nonylamino)-6-oxo-caproic acid, (6-decylamino)-6-oxo-caproic acid, magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate, the magnesium salt of metachloro perbenzoic acid, 4-nonylamino-4-oxoperoxybutyric acid and mixtures thereof, andiii) mixtures of i) and ii),wherein said hydrophobic peroxyacid bleach precursor produces under perhydrolysis a hydrophobic peroxyacid whose parent carboxylic acid has a critical micelle concentration less then 0.5 moles/liter measured in aqueous solution at 25.degree. C. and pH 7,b) from 0.01% to 5% by weight of a perfume composition, wherein said perfume composition comprises aroma chemicals selected from the group consisting of primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, aliphatic aldehydes, hydrocinnamic aldehydes, esters excluding salicylates, unsaturated ketones, and mixtures thereof,c) at least 0.6% by weight of a metal ion sequesterant selected from the group consisting of: aminocarboxylate compounds, aminophosphonate compounds and mixtures thereof,d) from 0.1% to 20% by weight of an organo diphosphonic acid crystal growth inhibitor or its salts or complexes, ande) a detergent adjunct material comprising one or more of the following:i) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of the composition of a dye transfer inhibiting agent; andii) from 0.5% to 10% by weight of the composition of a fabric softener.
