Abstract
Abstract A granular detergent composition is disclosed comprising a surfactant, soluble encapsulates of perfume and a detergency builder comprising zeolite P having a silicon to aluminium ratio not greater than l.33, preferably not greater than l.07, (zeolite MAP). The composition preferably has a bulk density of at least 650g/l and may optionally contain percarbonate. Use of zeolite MAP as detergency builder reduces perfume leakage which is a problem associated with conventional detergent compositions containing perfume capsules.
