The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the manufacture of a particle comprising the steps of a) providing an aqueous suspension comprised of from 0.50 wt. % to 30 wt. % of a nonionic surfactant and an inorganic carrier material selected from the group consisting of zeolites, sulfates, carbonate

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the manufacture of a particle comprising the steps of a) providing an aqueous suspension comprised of from 0.50 wt. % to 30 wt. % of a nonionic surfactant and an inorganic carrier material selected from the group consisting of zeolites, sulfates, carbonates, silicates, silica, and combinations thereof; b) removing the water from the suspension by spray drying to produce particles; c) loading the particles from step (b) with perfume by blending perfume/or by spraying perfume onto the carrier material, to produce particles comprised of at least 60% by weight of the carrier material, from 1% to 3% by weight of the nonionic surfactant and at least 15% by weight of the perfume and wherein the particles are free of gas-tight coating layers. 2. A process for washing fabrics, including the step of contacting the fabrics with an aqueous medium that comprises an effective quantity of a detergent composition produced by the process according to claim 1. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the nonionic surfactant comprises at least one alkoxylated alcohol. 4. The process of claim 3 wherein the alkoxylated alcohol is an ethoxylated primary alcohol having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and from 1 to 12 moles of an alkylene oxide. 5. The process of claim 4 wherein the alkylene oxide is ethylene oxide. 6. The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of the inorganic carrier material is at least 70 wt. %. 7. The process of claim 1 wherein the particles further comprise at least one additional carrier material in a total amount of below 5 wt. %. 8. The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of the perfume is at least 25 wt. % based on the total weight of the particle. 9. The process of claim 1 wherein the non ionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated alcohols, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, alkoxylated fatty acids alkyl esters, polyhydroxy fatty acid amides, alkyl glycosides, alkyl polyglucosides, amine oxides and long chain alkyl sulfoxides. 10. The process of claim 3 wherein the alkoxylated alcohol is an ethoxylated primary alcohol having from 1 to 12 moles of alkylene oxide per mol of alcohol. 11. The process of claim 1 wherein the inorganic carrier material comprises 40 wt. % of zeolites.
