Abstract

The present invention relates to a detergent composition comprising a builder system, a nonionic polysaccharide ether and a surfactant system. Said surfactant system comprises an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant at a ratio of from 0.6:1 to 10:1. The compositions of the present invention provide improved soil release performance and clay soil removal performance.
