Detergent liquors, and compositions for their production, are provided in which acetylated aldohexopyranoses and -pyranosides are employed as peroxybleach precursors in combination with inorganic perhydrate salts, the molar ratio of perhydrate to aldohexopyranose or -pyranoside being ≥ 12:1 and the liquor starting pH being > 9,5, whereby > 50% of the available acetyl groups are perhydrolysed. |
