Abstract: A method of producing a dosage form detergent product, comprises the steps of: (a) producing an open-mouthed pouch by forming a water-soluble, synthetic plastics film into a mould cavity defining the pouch, (b) introducing a particulate first detergent composition into the pouch, (c) forming a recess in the upper surface of the particulate first detergent composition, (d) introducing into the recess a pre-formed, shape-retaining second detergent component with an at least substantially planar face positioned to be exposed from the particulate first detergent component, and (e) sealing a water-soluble film over the mouth of the pouch and against the exposed face of the pre-formed detergent product.
