The invention concerns a washing composition for washing a surface to deposit thereon substantially water-insoluble particles. The aqueous washing composition of the invention comprises an anionic surfactant, the particulate substance to be deposited and a water-soluble cationic non-cellulosic polymer which enhances the deposition of the particulate substance onto the surface but which cationic polymer does not form in the composition a water-insoluble complex with the anionic surfactant, the cationic charge density of the polymer being from 0.0001 to 0.0017; the concentration of the cationic polymer in the washing composition being from 0.0001% to 0.01% by weight; and the concentration of the surfactant in the washing composition being from 0.01% to 5% by weight. |
