Abstract

Improvedly storage-stable, solid, particulate detergent compositions include a detergency surfactant and a builder therefor, the builder comprising at least one storage-stable, substantially non-hygroscopic, at least partially water-insoluble biodegradable polycarboxylic polymer compatible therewith, for example at least partially comprising a water-insoluble inorganic salt thereof, e.g., a calcium or magnesium salt, or at least partially comprising a water-soluble/water-insoluble mixed salt thereof, e.g., a Na/Ca mixed salt.
