Either a built or non-built stable detergent emulsion composition is prepared from a nonionic surfactant or a mixture of nonionic surfactants which are either alcohol or alkyl aryl ethoxylates, as well as mixtures thereof, the surfactant having an HLB value below 13.0. The upper HLB limit corresponds to a cloud point ranging from 120 DEG F to 135 DEG F. By employing nonionic surfactants whose HLB and cloud point are no greater than the upper limit, high levels of nonionic surfactant, i.e. greater than 15 weight percent, can be incorporated into the emulsion. At lower HLB values, builders are not required. At higher HLB values, builders are necessary to form stable emulsions. The composition may be used for laundering or cleaning hard surfaces. |
