HAND WASH LAUNDRY COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING A COMBINATION OF ANIONIC SURFACTANTS

摘要

The subject invention involves hand wash laundry compositions which provide superior cleaning performance. The compositions comprise: a) from about 35 % to about 70 % anionic surfactant, the anionic surfactant being a combination of surfactants such that the composition comprises: 1) from about 30 % to about 65 % soap; 2) from about 2 % to about 15 % alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant; and 3) from about 1.4 % to about 5.5 % alkyl ethoxy ether sulfate surfactant having an average of from about 0.5 to about 5 mole ethoxy per mole surfactant; wherein the ratio of alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant to alkyl ethoxy ether sulfate surfactant is from about 1.4:1 to about 2.8:1; b) from about 30 % to about 65 % other components.
