Abstract
A granular low-phosphate detergent composition is prepared by spray-drying a slurry to give a base powder containing a low to moderate level of sodium tripolyphosphate and low levels of inorganic salts, then postdosing solid material, including sodium sulphate, of high bulk density and of smaller particle size than the base powder. The resulting product has a bulk density at least 150 g/liter greater than that of the base powder and shows improved dispensing properties in an automatic washing machine.
