A viscoelastic solid surfactant composition for textile treatment having, based on the total weight thereof, (i) a total amount of 30 to 70 wt % of at least one surfactant, wherein at least one anionic surfactant and at least one non-ionic surfactant are present, and (ii) a total amount of 0.01 to 1 wt % of at least one organic gelating compound having a molar mass <1,000 g/mol, a solubility in water of less than 0.1 g/l (20° C.) and a structure including at least one hydrocarbon structural unit having 6 to 20 carbon atoms and additionally an organic structural unit covalently bonded to the aforementioned hydrocarbon unit, which organic structural unit has at least two groups selected from —OH—, —NH— or mixtures thereof, and (iii) water, represents a readily soluble, aesthetically appealing and storage-stable form of a solid composition for preparing washing liquor including surfactant. |
