Abstract
A detergent composition suitable for washing and softening fabrics comprises a detergent active material, a detergency builder such as sodium tripolyphosphate and a fabric softening clay material, such as a smectite clay, which is ground to a particle size of 150 to 2000 microns. The use of ground clay avoids the use of dusty powdered clay and avoids the need for costly agglomeration while providing surprisingly good softening benefits.
