A high-density powdered detergent compositionnwhich has a bulk density of 0.6 to 1.2 g/ml and whichncomprises 0.5 to 30 % by weight of (a) an aspartic acidndiacetic acid salt, 5 to 45 % by weight of (b) a nonionicnsurfactant having an HLB value of 10.5 to 15.0, 0.5 ton15 % by weight of (c) an anionic surfactant and 1 ton30 % by weight of (d) an aluminosilicate, the weightnratio of the component (b) to the component (c) lyingnbetween 99 : 1 and 70 : 30, and each percentage beingnbased on the total weight of the composition. Thisncomposition contains both an organic builder excellentnin biodegradability and an inorganic builder, andnexhibits high detergency. |
