Abstract: The present invention describes a detergent composition in the form of a flexible sheet, which in turn is soluble in water, and the water-soluble detergent sheet. Said detergent composition in the form of a flexible sheet comprises a unique mixture of components, including: a water-soluble polymeric component, an anionic surfactant, a non-ionic surfactant, water and other components. Once mixed in the appropriate proportions, the components produce a flexible sheet with detergent characteristics that can be incorporated directly into a clothes-washing recipient, said recipient ranging from a simple bowl to an advanced automatic washing machine. Once the detergent sheet comes into contact with water inside the washing recipient, the sheet dissolves and releases the active ingredients and complementary ingredients contained therein.
