A two-phase low solvent anionic water-in-oil detergent emulsion to be applied to fabrics as laundry pre-spotting compositions. The composition comprises from 1% to 30% by weight of a salt; from about 1 to about 35% by weight of a mixture of about 0.1% to 2% by weight of a sorbitan nonionic surfactant and from about 0.5% to 30% by weight of at least one other nonionic surfactant and with soluble anionic surfactants. The composition has an HLB of from about 8 to about 14 and is poised at the phase inversion point of an oil-out/water-out emulsion. The composition also includes from about 2% to 60% by weight of a solvent. The balance of the composition is comprised of preferably deionized water.
