The present invention relates to a detergent auxiliary composition
comprising: (i) a liquid or liquefiable active component; and (ii) a
water-insoluble solid support component and (iii) a water-soluble and/or
water dispersible encapsulating material; and (iv) optionally one or more
adjunct components, characterised in that the composition further
comprises (v) a surface deposition enhancing cationic polymer or oligomer
having cationic groups such that fewer than 50% are de-activated when a
1% by weight solution of the polymer or oligomer (prepared in deionised
water and then adjusted to pH 7.0 with sodium carbonate or citric acid)
is stored at 25.degree. C. for ten days (ten day storage test), wherein
the surface deposition enhancing cationic polymer is adsorbed onto the
water-insoluble solid support component, and wherein the water-soluble
and/or water dispersible encapsulating material encapsulates the liquid
or liquefiable active component, the water-insoluble solid support
component and the surface deposition enhancing cationic polymer.
