Abstract

A detergent tablet for fabric washing is compacted from a particulate composition containing detergent active compound, detergency builder, a bleach system comprising coated sodium percarbonate and at least one bleach activator, and optionally other detergent ingredients, where the tablet comprises a plurality of discrete regions, and wherein the bleach activator and the coated sodium percarbonate are concentrated in respective different regions of the tablet. This separation of activator and percarbonate increases the stability of the bleach activator.
