Abstract
Abstract A granular or powdery detergent composition comprises a nonionic surface active agent adsorption mixture composed of a nonionic surface active agent and a water-insoluble, amorphous, phosphorus-containing alkali metal aluminosilicate of the formula (I): X(M.sub.2 O).sup.. Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.sup.. Y(SiO.sub.2).sup.. Z(P.sub.2 O 5 ).sup.. ω(H 2 O) (I) wherein M stands for Na or K, and X, Y, Z and ω are mole numbers of the respective components satisfying the following requirements: 0.20≦X≦1.10, 0.20≦Y≦4.00, and 0.001≦Z≦0.80, ω being an optional positive number inclusive of 0.
