Abstract

Heavy-duty liquid detergents containing an essential block polyester soil release agent; anionic surfactant; ethoxylated non-ionic surfactant; optional quaternary ammonium, amine, amide, or amine oxide surfactant; preferably fatty acid and/or poly-carboxylate builders; a neutralization system preferably comprising sodium, potassium and/or low levels of alkanolamines; and a solvent system comprising ethanol, polyol and/or water. The compositions are isotropic liquids providing a high level of detergency performance.
