Abstract (en)

A laundry pre-treatment composition is provided in stick form which is suitable for pre-spotting onto stained fabric before laundering. The composition comprises a water-soluble surfactant binder having a dropping point in the range 30 to 100 DEG C, and a bleach activator in the form of particles substantially all of which have sizes of less than 50 microns. The binder can comprise an ethoxylated alcohol optionally with a fatty alcohol and/or a polyethylene glycol. The activator is preferably tetra acetyl ethylenediamine. Preferably the composition contains a stabiliser which is a sequestrant, especially a phosphonic acid sequestrant. A process for producing the composition by mixing particulate compounds with molten binder is also described.
