Abstract:
An alkaline detergent composition comprising:(a) an effective soil removing amount of a source of alkalinity to provide the detergent with a pH of at least 10 when provided as a 1 wt. % aqueous solution; and (b) an effective soil-removing amount of a surfactant blend comprising: (i) a surfactant containing a sugar ring; and (ii) a silicone surfactant comprising a hydrophobic silicone group and a pendant hydrophilic group having the formula: wherein PE represents â€”CH2â€”(CH2)pâ€”Oâ€”(EO)m(PO)nâ€”Z, x is a number that ranges from about 0 to about 100, y is a number that ranges from about 1 to 100, p is o to 6, m and n are numbers that range from about 0 to about 50, m+n&gE;1, and Z represents hydrogen or R and each R independently represents a C1-6 alkyl;wherein the weight ratio of a surfactant containing a sugar ring to silicone surfactant is between about 1:1 and 20:1.
