- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of citric acid is from about 12 to about 18% by weight.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein said polyhydric alcohol is glycerol.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said anionic surfactant is the sodium salt of a fatty alkyl sulfate.
- 5. The composition of claim 4 wherein the amount of said sodium salt of a fatty alkyl sulfate is from about 4 to about 6% by weight.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein said nonionic surfactant is a fatty alcohol ethoxylate.
- 7. The composition of claim 6 wherein the amount of said fatty alcohol ethoxylate is from about 15 to about 30% by weight.
- 8. The composition of claim 1 wherein said alkyl glucoside has the formula RO(G).sub.x, wherein R is an alkyl radical, G is a glucose unit and x has a value of 1.10 to 1.45.
- 9. The composition of claim 8 wherein the amount of said alkyl glucoside is from about 1 to about 4% by weight.
- 10. The composition of claim 9 wherein the amount of said polyhydric alcohol is from about 5 to about 10% by weight.
- 11. The composition of claim 1 wherein the anionic surfactant is present in from about 3 to about 10% by weight; and the nonionic surfactant is present in from about 15 to about 30% by weight.
- 12. The composition of claim 11 wherein the alkyl glucoside is present in from about 1 to about 4% by weight.
- 13. The composition of claim 11 wherein the amount of citric acid is from about 12 to about 18% by weight.
- 14. The composition of claim 11 wherein the alkyl glucoside is present in from about 1 to about 4% by weight; the polyhydric alcohol is present in from about 5 to about 10% by weight; and the amount of citric acid is present in from about 12 to about 18% by weight.
- 15. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polyhydric alcohol is present in from about 5 to about 10% by weight.
- 16. The composition of claim 1 wherein the soap of an unsaturated or saturated fatty acid contains from 12 to 18 carbon atoms.
- 17. The composition of claim 1 wherein the soap of a unsaturated or saturated fatty acid is a soap mixture of sodium oleate and the sodium salts of saturated C.sub.12-16 fatty acid mixtures.
- 18. The composition of claim 17 wherein said soap mixture contains at least about 60% by weight of C.sub.12-14 fatty acids.
- 19. An aqueous liquid detergent comprising:
- A. from about 3 to about 10% by weight of an anionic surfactant;
- B. from about 15 to about 30% by weight of a nonionic surfactant other than an alkyl glucoside;
- C. from about 1 to about 4% by weight of an alkyl glucoside;
- D. a soap of an unsaturated and/or saturated fatty acid;
- E. from about 5 to about 10% by weight of a polyhydric alcohol; and
- F. from about 10 to about 20% by weight of citric acid or an alkali metal salt thereof.
