Tablet detergent compositions |
(57) A tablet, made by compaction of a particulate detergent composition comprising detergent
active and aluminosilicate detergency builder is characterised by containing particles
which are, or contain a major proportion of a highly water-soluble material. This
improves disintegration of the whole tablet and dissolution of its soluble ingredients,
when the tablet is added to water.
