Solid, particulate, flowing, laundry composition comprising 2 to 20% by weight of clay such as smectite or montmorillonite, 0.5 to 10% by weight of polydimethylsiloxane, 0.1 to 5% by weight of flocculant, 5 to 25 % by weight of anionic detergent surfactant comprising alkyl or benzenesulfonate substituted or not, linear or branched and 1 to 22% by weight of zeolite, the ratio being zeolite / alkylbenzenesulfonate from 0.1: 1 to less than 2.8: 1 and where the Clay and polydimethylsiloxane are together in the particulate mixture. It may also contain 0.1 to 55 polycarboxylate, less than 2% sodium acetate trihydrate and 12 to 30% carbonate salt. The viscosity is 50,000 to 400,000 cp (50Pa.s). It is used in washing, protection and fabric softening. |
