Spray-dried laundry detergent particles comprising: (a) organic anionic detersive surfactant; (b) water-soluble inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate and/or sodium sulphate; (c) essentially no zeolite builder; (d) essentially no phosphate builder; (e) essentially no bleach; (f) essentially no clay; (g) essentially no non-ionic detersive surfactant; and (h) other detergent ingredients, wherein from 5wt% to 25wt% of the particles are small particles having a particle size of less than 250 micrometers, wherein from 75wt% to 95wt% of the particles are large particles having a particle size of 250 micrometers or greater, wherein the ratio of the organic carbon content of the small particles in weight percent to the organic carbon content of the large particles in weight percent is in the range of from 1.00 to 1.20, and wherein the water-soluble inorganic salt has a volume average particle size in the range of from 10 micrometers to 50 micrometers. |
