A granular detergent composition containing about 6% to 18% aluminosilicate cation exchange material (a), about 1% to 8% nitrilotriacetate (b), about 6% to 14% phosphate builder selected from sodium and potassium tripolyphosphates with less than 12% thereof as pyrophosphate, about 5% to 35% bleaching agent, up to 10% organic peroxy acid bleach precursor, and a heavy metal scavenging agent, wherein the percentage quantities of (a) and 2(b) is from 13 to 27. The compositions display improved bleaching, cleaning and fabric damage at low aluminosilicate levels. |
