A high-density powdered detergent composition which hasna bulk density of 0.6 to 1.2 g/ml and which comprises 0.5 ton30% by weight of (a) a glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivative,n20 to 50% by weight of (b) an anionic surfactant, 0.5 to 5%nby weight of (c) an ether-type nonionic surfactant having annHLB value of 10.5 to 15.0 and 1 to 30% by weight of (d) annaluminosilcate, each percentage being based on the totalnweight of the composition, and the component (c) beingncontained in an amount of 0.5 to 10.0 parts by weight per 100nparts by weight of the component (b). This compositionncontains both a glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivative which isna builder excellent in biodegradability and sequestering powernand an inorganic builder such as zeolite or crystallinensilicate, and exhibits high detergency. |
