Abstract:
A liquid crystal detergent composition which comprises by weight:(a) about 1% to about 10% of an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant containing ethylene oxide groups; (b) about 0.5% to about 6% of a water soluble salt of an ethoxylated C8-18 alkyl ether sulfate surfactant; (c) 10% to 22% of an abrasive; (d) 10% to 24% of a sodium salt of a C8-C16 linear alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactant; (e) 0.5% to 6% of a magnesium, sulfate heptahydrate, and (f) the balance being water, said liquid crystal detergent composition has a storage modulus measured at a temperature between 20Â° C. to 40Â° C., at a strain of 0.1% to 5% and a frequency of 10 radians/second of at least about one Pascal and is one phase at a temperature of 8Â° C. to 43Â° C., wherein the composition does not contain an inorganic or organic detergent builder salt or a zwitterionic surfactant.
