Washing compositions containing aluminosilicates and nonionics and method of washing textiles

A washing composition consisting essentially of:

• 3.8% by weight of the adduct of 14 mols of ethylene oxide onto tallow fatty alcohol,
• 2.2% by weight of the adduct of 5 mols of ethylene oxide onto tallow fatty alcohol,
• 7.0% by weight of the sodium salt of alkylbenzenesulfonic acid with 11 to 13 carbon atoms in the alkyl,
• 3.4% by weight of the sodium soap of a hardened mixture of equal parts by weight of tallow and rape oil fatty acids,
• 20.0% by weight of a finely-divided water-insoluble crystalline silicate compound having primary particles in the size range of from 10 to 45.mu., and a calcium binding power as determined at 22.degree. C for 15 minutes according to the procedure on page 32, lines 18 to 28, of 150 mg CaO/gm of anhydrous active substance, having the formula
