The present invention relates to thickened aqueous bleach compositions containing peroxygen bleach. Compositions containing peroxygen bleaches are particularly difficult to thicken with sufficient stability for commercial value. The addition of a rheology stabilizer minimizes the loss of stability over time and enables compositions of varying bleach and pH level to be obtained. These compositions comprise a peroxygen bleach, a polymeric rheology modifying agent, an effective amount of a rheology stabilizing agent, sufficient alkalinity buffering agent, with the remainder being water.The present invention relates to thickened aqueous bleach compositions containing peroxygen bleach.
