  • Liquid detergent compositions having excellent sudsing and mildness characteristics and consisting essentially of (1) from about 8% to about 35% of an alkyl ether sulfate obtained by sulfating and neutralizing the condensation product of from about to about 12 moles of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of a high molecular weight alcohol having from about to about 16 carbon atoms; (2) an alkyl sulfate having the formula ROSO -M wherein R is alkyl having from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms; and M is a salt-forming cation; the ratio of said alkyl ether sulfate to said alkyl sulfate being from about 2:1 to about 6:1 and the balance being water.
  • the compositions have a desirable balance of cleaning, sudsing and mildness properties and are particularly useful in dishwashing and light-duty laundering situations.
  • This invention relates to liquid detergent compositions. More particularly it relates to liquid detergent compositions comprising a mixture of surface-active compounds having exceptional sudsing and mildness characteristics.
  • the quantity and persistence of suds are very important in light-duty liquid detergent compositions intended for dishwashing and the like. Frequently, the detergent capacity of a washing solution is gauged by the user by the amount of suds present and the persistence of suds for a reasonable period of time. Since the washing of dishes frequently constitutes exposure of the hands to a detergent solution, a suitable detergent composition must additionally be characterized by mildness to the skin. The attainment of the combined properties of desirable sudsing and mildness levels in liquid detergent compositions is a matter of difiicult formulation. Liquid compositions 113N- ing high sudsing qualities are often harsh on the skin.
  • liquid compositions characterized by desirable mildness to the hands of the user are frequently deficient in their sudsing and/ or detergent qualities.
  • the present invention is based in part on the discovery that the sudsing qualities of a liquid detergent composition containing a sulfated and neutralized ethoxylate of from about 5 to about 12 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of high molecular weight alcohol can be substantially improved by addition of an alkyl sulfate detergent with retention of desirable mildness properties.
  • the present invention enables the provision of lightduty liquid detergent compositions having excellent sudsing and mildness properties.
