Claims
- 1. A detergent composition comprising
- a) from about 15% to about 30% surfactant, the surfactant comprising:
- (1) from about 70%, to about 93%, alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant, the alkyl being alkanyl or alkenyl or a mixture thereof and having an average of from about 10 to about 14 carbon atoms;
- (2) from about 4%, to about 12%, alkyl ethoxy ether sulfate surfactant having an average of from about 1 to about 7 moles ethoxy per mole surfactant, the alkyl being alkanyl or alkenyl or a mixture thereof and having an average of from about 11 to about 18 carbon atoms, the ratio of alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant to alkyl ethoxy ether sulfate surfactant being within the range of from about 19:1, to about 8:1;
- (3) from about 2.5%, to about 4.5%, of hydroxyalkyl quaternary ammonium cationic surfactant, R being alkanyl or alkenyl and having an average of from about 10 to about 15 carbon atoms, each R' being methyl, the ratio of alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant to such cationic surfactant being within the range of from about 40:1, to about 20:1;
- (4) from 0% to about 8% alkyl ethoxy alcohol surfactant having an average of from about 3 to about 10 moles ethoxy per mole surfactant, the alkyl being alkanyl or alkenyl or a mixture thereof having an average of from about 11 to about 18 carbon atoms, the ratio of alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant to alkyl ethoxy alcohol surfactant being greater than about 10:1; and
- b) cellulase enzyme having an activity of from about 1 CEVU to about 10 CEVU per gram of the composition; and
- c) from about 60% to about 95% other components.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition comprises from about 7% to about 50% builders selected from polyphosphate, aluminosilicate, and mixtures thereof.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition has a cellulase enzyme activity of from about 2 CEVU to about 5 CEVU per gram of the composition.
- 4. The composition of claim 3 wherein the composition comprises from about 1% to about 6.5% perborate bleach, and from about 0.5% to about 3.0% bleach activator.
