Claims
- 1. A substantially builder-free fine fabric laundry detergent composition which comprises, on a total composition weight basis:
- a. from about 10 to about 70 weight percent of a surfactant component which consists of a combination of a glycoside surfactant and an antistatic amine oxide surfactant, the weight ratio of the glycoside surfactant to the amine oxide surfactant being from about 3:1 to about 10:1, said glycoside surfactant corresponding to the formula:
- RO(R.sup.1 O)y(Z).sub.x A
- wherein R is a monovalent organic radical containing from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; O is an oxygen atom; R.sup.1 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical containing from 2 to about 4 carbon atoms; y is a number having an average value of from 0 to about 12; Z represents a moiety derived from a reducing saccharide containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms; and x is a number having an average value of from 1 to about 10 and said amine oxide surfactant being selected from the group consisting of C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl di (lower alkyl) amine oxides; C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl di (hydroxy lower alkyl) amine oxides; C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl amidopropyl di (lower alkyl) amine oxides and C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl morpholine oxides; and
- b. from about 30 to about 90 weight percent water.
- 2. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein, in the Formula A glycoside surfactant, R is a monovalent organic radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms; y is zero; Z is glucose or a moiety derived therefrom; and x is a number having an average value of from about 1.5 to about 5.
- 3. The detergent composition of claim 2 wherein, the antistatic amine oxide surfactant is stearyl dimethyl amine oxide.
- 4. The detergent composition of claim 3 wherein the weight ratio of the glycoside surfactant to the amine oxide surfactant is from about 3:1 to about 6:1.
- 5. The detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of the glycoside surfactant to the amine oxide surfactant is from about 3:1 to about 6:1.
- 6. The detergent composition of claim 5 wherein the surfactant component constitutes from about 15 to about 40 weight percent of said composition on a total weight basis.
- 7. A process for laundering soiled fabric materials, said process comprising immersing said fabric material, with at least mild agitation, in a substantially builder-free washing medium comprising, on a total washing medium weight basis, from about 200 part per million to about 1,250 part per million of a surfactant component consisting of a combination of a glycoside surfactant and an antistatic amine oxide surfactant in a glycoside surfactant to amine oxide surfactant weight ratio of from about 3:1 to about 10:1, said glycoside surfactant corresponding to the formula:
- RO(R.sup.1 O).sub.y (Z).sub.x A
- wherein R is a monovalent organic radical containing from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms; O is an oxygen atom; R.sup.1 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical containing from 2 to about 4 carbon atoms; y is a number having an average value of from 0 to about 12; Z represents a moiety derived from a reducing saccharide containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms; and x is a number having an average value of from 1 to about 10 and said amine oxide surfactant being selected from the group consisting of C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl di (lower alkyl) amine oxides; C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl di (hydroxyl lower alkyl) amine oxides; C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl amidopropyl di (lower alkyl) amine oxides and C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 alkyl or alkenyl morpholine oxides.
- 8. The process of claim 7 wherein fabric material laundered thereby is a silk, nylon, polyester or wool fabric material.
