Abstract:
A detergent composition comprising a mixture of:a) from about 5 to about 30 wt % of a surfactant comprising an anionic surfactant and optionally a nonionic surfactant; said detergent composition being free of a quaternary nitrogen containing cationic compound;b) from about 0.01 to about 5 wt % of at least one enzyme; andc) from about 0.1 to about 5 wt % of a water soluble organic polymer which is polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight in the range of from about 200 to about 20,000 and which is miscible with or soluble in said surfactant; said composition providing a cleaning performance in the wash bath due to the presence of the organic polymer which is superior to the cleaning provided by an otherwise identical detergent composition which is free of said water soluble organic polymer.
