The present invention relates to a particulate textile treatment
composition comprising silicone, clay and anionic surfactant, wherein the
composition comprises at least three particulate components: wherein the
first particulate component comprises silicone, clay and a first anionic
surfactant; wherein the second particulate component comprises a second
anionic surfactant; and wherein the third particulate component comprises
a third anionic surfactant; wherein the concentration of the second
anionic surfactant in the second particulate component is greater than
the concentration of the third anionic surfactant in the third
particulate component.
