First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A solid free-flowing particulate laundry detergent composition, wherein the composition comprises: (a) detersive surfactant; (b) iron-based bleach catalyst having the following structure: and (c) peroxygen-based bleach, wherein the composition has an equilibrium pH at about 20° C. at a concentration of about 10 g/l in deionized water of from about 8.5 to about 9.0. 2 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the peroxygen-based bleach is percarbonate bleach. 3 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the peroxygen-based bleach is pre-formed peroxyacid. 4 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a bleach activator. 5 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises tetraacetyl ethylenediamine. 6 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises an imine-based bleach catalyst and/or an iminium-based bleach catalyst. 7 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises citric acid. 8 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is substantially free of sodium carbonate. 9 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the detersive surfactant comprises an anionic detersive surfactant. 10 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the detersive surfactant comprises an anionic detersive surfactant selected from alkyl sulphate and/or alkyl benzene sulphonate. 11 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises a dye transfer inhibitor. 12 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the detersive surfactant comprises an non-ionic detersive surfactant. 13 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises hueing dye. 14 . A composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises chelant.
