The present invention relates to thickened aqueous bleach compositionsncontaining either peroxygen bleach. Compositionsncontaining hypohalite or peroxygen bleaches are particularly difficult to thickennwith sufficient stability for commercial value. The addition of a rheologynstabilizer minimizes the loss of stability over time and enables compositions ofnvarying bleach and pH level to be obtained. These compositions comprise a peroxygen bleach, a polymeric rheology modifyingnagent, an effective amount of a rheology stabilizing agent, sufficient alkalinitynbuffering agent, with the remainder being water. |
