Abstract
A low dosage, highly dense detergent product is provided. The detergent composition comprises: (a) from about 40% to about 80% by weight of spray dried detergent granules; (b) from about 20% to about 60% by weight of detergent agglomerates having a density of at least about 700 g/l; and (c) from about 1% to about 20% by weight of adjunct ingredients. The weight ratio of the granules to the agglomerates is from about 3:1 to about 1:3 and the composition has a density of at least about 650 g/l.

A detergent composition comprising:
- (a) from about 45% to about 55% by weight of spray dried detergent granules including, by weight of said granules,
- (i) from about 10% to about 30% of a surfactant system selected from the group consisting of anionics, nonionics and mixtures thereof;
- (ii) from about 20% to about 30% of aluminosilicate;
- (iii) from about 20% to about 30% of sodium carbonate;
- and
- (iv) the balance water;
- (b) from about 35% to about 45% by weight of detergent agglomerates including, by weight of said agglomerates,
- (i) from about 25% to about 40% of a mixture of alkyl sulfate surfactant and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant;
- (ii) from about 35% to about 45% of aluminosilicate;
- (iii) from about 20% to about 30% of sodium carbonate;
