Claims
- 1. A hand dishwashing composition comprising:
A. from about 0.1% to about 90%, by weight of a sudsing surfactant selected from the group consisting of an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant, and a mixture thereof; B. an effective amount of a suds suppresser; and C. the balance adjunct ingredients.
- 2. The hand dishwashing composition of claim 1, wherein the suds suppresser is selected from the group consisting of a silicone suds suppresser, a fatty acid suds suppresser, and a mixture thereof.
- 3. The hand dishwashing composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is substantially free of a suds booster.
- 4. The hand dishwashing composition of claim 1, wherein the composition has a pH of at least 6.
- 5. The hand dishwashing composition of claim 1, wherein the sudsing surfactant is an anionic surfactant having a carbon chain having an average percentage of branching of greater than 30%.
- 6. The hand washing composition of claim 1, further comprising an initial sudsing profile reduction of at least 10%.
- 7. The hand dishwashing composition of claim 1, wherein the suds suppresser is present at a level of up to about 10%, by weight.
- 8. A method for reducing the amount of water used in the rinsing step of a hand dishwashing process, comprising the steps of:
A. providing the hand dishwashing composition of claim 1;B. applying the hand dishwashing composition to a dish and washware, wherein after the application step, the dish and washware comprise suds thereupon; and C. rinsing the suds from the dish and washware with water.
- 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising a rinse water reduction of at least about 10%, as measured by the rinse water reduction test.
- 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the rinse water reduction is at least about 25%, as measured by the rinse water reduction test.
