Abstract
A detergent composition in form of agglomerates is provided. The detergent composition comprises: (a) from about 10% to 20% by weight of an alkyl sulfate surfactant; (b) from about 5% to 15% by weight of an alkyl ethoxy sulfate surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 1 to about 3; (c) from about 1% to about 5% by weight of a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant; (d) from about 0.1% to about 0.5% by weight of an amine oxide surfactant; (e) from about 35% to about 45% by weight of an aluminosilicate builder; and (f) from about 15% to about 20% by weight of sodium carbonate. The detergent composition is in the form of detergent agglomerates which are free of phosphates. The alkyl sulfate surfactant, alkyl ethoxy sulfate surfactant, and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant have improved solubility in an aqueous laundering solution, especially those kept at cold temperatures, i.e. 5.degree. C. to 30.degree. C.
