Abstract
Abstract A liquid bleaching composition is acidic with a PH value of 1.5 to 6 and improved in stability. It comprises: (a) 0.5 to 10% by weight of hydrogen peroxide, (b) 0.1 to 20% by weight of an anionic surfactant, (c) 0.1 to 20% by weight of a nonionic surfactant, (d) 0.05 to 5% by weight of a polyacrylic acid having an average molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000 or a salt thereof and/or a maleic polymer having an average molecular weight of 500 to 100,000, and (e) 0.0001 to 1% by weight of a polyphosphoric acid, a salt thereof, an amino phosphonic acid, a salt thereof, or a diphosphonic acid or a salt thereof.
