A laundry washing composition comprises: (a) anionic surfactant (preferably branched); (b) a detergency enhancing polymer which is a homopolymer or copolymer containing one or more monomer units independently selected from those of formula (II) wherein -A- is selected from groups of formula -R5-, -R5-(CO)-R6-, -R5-(CO)-O-R6, -R5-O-(CO)-R6-, -R5-(CO)-NH-R-6-, -R5-NH-(CO)-R6-, wherein R5 and R6 are independently absent, or represent C1-3 alkyl groups; R1, R2 and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen, C1-3 alkyl, C1-3 alkenyl, hydroxy-C1-3 alkyl and C5-8 cycloalkyl groups; and R4 is selected from groups as defined for A above; wherein R3 may also represent a bridging group to the group R4, said bridging group being selected from groups as defined for A above; and X- is a monovalent anion or an n'th part of an n-valent anion; (c) detergency builder; and (d) optionally, one or more other ingredients; wherein the weight ratio of anionic surfactant to builder is from 2:1 to 10: 1, preferably from 3:1 to 7:1 and/or the weight ratio of branched anionic surfactant to builder is from 1:1 to 7:1. |
