It has been found that anionic mixture component weight ratios within this range provide an unexpectedly high degree of soil and stain removal and at the same time maintain excellent suds control during both wash and rinse.
• the anionic surfactant mixture as a whole must be present in the instant liquid detergent compositions to such an extent that the weight ratio of nonionic surfactant to anionic surfactant (calculated on a free anionic acid basis) is approximately 3:1, i.e., from about 2.5:1 to about 3.521.
• the weight ratio of nonionic surfactant to anionic surfactant is approximately 3:1, i.e., from about 2.5:1 to about 3.521.
• a third essential component of the liquid detergent composition of the, present invention is the ethanolamine compound.
• the ethanolamine useful herein is selected from the group consisting of monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of these three ethanolamine compounds are produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia. The pure compounds can be separated from this mixture by standard distillation procedures.
• the ethanolamine component of the present invention serves two purposes. As will be discussed more fully hereinafter, in the preferred method for preparing the instant compositions the ethanolamine neutralizes the free acid form of the anionic surfactant mixture to provide the corresponding ethanolamine salts which are essential components of the instant detergent compositions. In addition, the excess ethanolamine beyond that necessary to form the anionic surfactant salts in accordance with the invention contributes to detergency performance and serves as a buffering agent which maintains wash water pH of the instant compositions within the range from about 7 to about 9. It is essential that the compositions of this invention contain at least 1 percent by weight of the total composition of free ethanolamine.
• compositions containing nonionic, anionic and ethanolamine components can be formulated by preparing each component separately and thoroughly mixing them together in any order.
• the anionic and ethanolamine components are formulated simultaneously by over-neutralizing with ethanolamine appropriate mixtures of sulfonic and fatty acids. This method forms the requisite ethanolamine alkyl benzene sulfonate and ethanolamine soap in situ and also provides the free ethanolamine component of the instant composition.
• the total amount of ethanolamine employed will vary with the nature and proportion of the particular alkyl benzene sulfonic and fatty acids and with the particular ethanolamine employed.
• a highly preferred ethanolamine concentration for formulation of the anionic-ethanolamine portion of the composition is that ethanolamine weight percentage which is approximately equal to the weight percent of anionic surfactant mixture (on a free acid basis) present in any given detergent composition of the instant invention.
• ethanolamine will always be present in greater than stoichiometric amount for complete neutralization of the acid mixture and will provide the requisite excess free ethanolamine no matter which ethanolamine is employed and which anionic acid mixture within the limits of the present invention is utilized.
• liquid detergent compositions of the instant invention need only contain the above-described three components (i.e., anhydrous compositions), highly preferred compositions of the present invention contain in addition to the three active components a solvent selected from the group consisting of water and water-alcohol mixtures. Generally, such solvents can be added to the extent of from about 1 to 45 percent by weight of the total detergent: composition. In preferred compositions the solvent comprises from about 25 to 45 percent by weight. Addition of such solvents has several advantages. First, the physical stability of the detergent compositions can be improved by such solvents in that clear points can thereby be lowered to provide compositions which do not cloud at lower temperatures which might be encountered during shipping or storing of commercially marketed detergent compositions.
• solvents especially wateralcohol mixtures, serves to regulate the gelling tendency which liquid detergent compositions of the instant type exhibit upon dilution with water.
• detergent compositions of the instant type containing such solvents are desirable from the standpoint of several safety considerations. More dilute solutions tend to be less toxic and tend to produce less eye irritation than more concentrated or anhydrous detergent compositions containing the three active components.
• the weight ratio of water to alcohol preferably is maintained above about 3:], more preferably from about 4:1 to about 7:1.
• Alcohol (particularly ethanol) concentrations higher than this in water-alcohol mixtures used in the instant invention are preferably avoided because of flammability problems which arise at higher alcohol levels.
• Any alcohol containing from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms can be employed in the water-alcohol mixture if such a mixture is utilized in the instant detergent compositions.
• operable alcohols include methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, and pentanol. From toxicological standpoint, ethanol is highly preferred.
• a second optional component which may be added to the detergent compositions of the instant invention is an electrolyte salt. Addition of an electrolyte salt serves to lessen gel formation which tends to occur upon dilution of the instant detergent compositions. When used in combination with a water-alcohol solvent, from about 0.5 to 5 percent by weight of an electrolyte salt can completely eliminate gel formation without utilization of alcohol levels which exceed the flammability safety levels discussed above.
• Suitable electrolyte salts include the alkali metal, chlorides, sulfates and carbonates, and the salts formed from the reaction of ethanolamines with formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, citric or sulfuric acid.
• Specific examples of such salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate, triethanolamine sulfate, triethanolamine citrate, triethanolamine acetate, triethanolamine formate, monoethanolamine propionate and diethanolamine butyrate.
• Potassium chloride is preferred and is preferably added to the instant compositions to the extent of from about I to 3 percent by weight.

• the presence of citric acid in the compositions of the invention has a beneficial effect from the standpoint of preventing the development of the stains observed on the outer surfaces of plastic bottles and occasioned by spillage, seepage or handling of bottles with hands previously contacted with the compositions of the invention.
• the citric acid forms ethanolamine citrate when added to the instant compositions containing excess ethanolamine.
• this ethanolamine citrate concentration in the compositions is expressed as a weight percentage of the free acid form of the citrate, i.e., citric acid, added to the compositions.

• nonionic surfactant to anionic surfactant mixture (free acid basis) ratios of from about 2.511 to about 35:1 in combination with utilization of excess free ethanolamine is critical to formation of detergent compositions having the unexpected performance and stability characteristics of the instant invention. Formation of mixed micelles which results from employment of the particular nonionic/anionic surfactant ratio of the instant invention provides unexpected detergency performance which is insensitive to water hardness.

• the specific compositions of the instant invention are far superior to conventional nonionic surfactant-based products for soil removal (especially from cotton) in the wash water under standard home laundering conditions. Detergency performance is in fact comparable to that attained with conventional built granular anionic detergent compositions.
• the weight ratio of nonionic surfactant to anionic surfactant is 2.64:] and the weight ratio of the acid form of the sulfonate to the acid form of the soap is 7.35:1.
• the anionic surfactant-ethanolamine portion of this composition is prepared by admixing 11 grams of the C alkyl benzene sulfonic acid, 1.5 grams of oleic acid, and 11 grams of triethanolamine.
• Such a composition is a stable clear liquid detergent which does not gel upon dilution with water, which is relatively non-toxic (LD 8 ml./kg.; ED l ml./kg.) which is stable to freeze-thaw, which is relatively non-flammable (Tagliabue Open Cup Flash Point about 157F), which provides consistent medium.- high sudsing in wash water of varying temperature and hardness and which provides excellent pre-treatment and wash water detergency performance. Addition of 0.05 grams of citric acid to the above-described compositions markedly improves its color stability.
