Process for manufacturing alkyl polysaccharide detergent laundry bar

A method for manufacturing a laundry bar containing anionic surfactant, detergent builder and detergent bodying agent wherein the anionic surfactant is present in an amount of from about 10 to 45 % by weight based on the final bar and comprises a normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate surfactant or a mixture of said normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate surfactant and alkylbenzene sulfonate anionic surfactant at a mixing weight ratio of alkylbenzene sulfonate:higher fatty alcohol sulfate of 30-85:1-60, said method comprising premixing the normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate with a fluid alkyl polyglucoside nonionic surfactant having from about 12 to 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety at a temperature of no more than 100.degree. F. to form a flowable mixture of the normally solid higher fatty alcohol sulfate and alkyl polyglucoside, and mixing said pre-mixture, detergent builder and detergent bodying agent, plodding the mixture, extruding the plodded mixture and cutting the extruded mixture into the final laundry bar.
