Bleaching composition.

The invention pertains to aqueous liquid thickened chlorine bleaching compositions comprising an alkali metal hypochlorite solution thickened by a combination of at least two different detergent-active components, one of which comprises a trialkylamineoxide having two short alkyl groups and one long chain C8-C18 alkyl group, at least 20% by weight of the amineoxide component having C16-C18 alkyl groups. The invention provides improved thickening action and allows reduced levels of the thickening detergent-active system.
