Description: HYDROPHILIC INDEX FOR AQUEOUS, LIQUID LAUNDRY DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING LAS TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to stable, aqueous heavy duty liquid laundry detergent compositions comprising linear alkyl benzene sulfonate and other surfactants, and fatty acids. The surfactant system is selected by calculating an optimal Hydrophilic Index, which results in detergent compositions that provide superior cleaning benefits. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The art is replete with examples of laundry detergent compositions that have good cleaning properties Although many of these are liquids, the formulation of liquid detergent compositions present numerous problems to the formulator, including how to optimize the surfactant system to achιe\e optimal cleaning. Attempts to formulate liquid laundry detergent compositions in the past have included the use of various surfactants and combinations of surfactants. Formulators have typically relied on experimental methods for determining the optimal surfactant system. The procedure of formulating various detergent compositions and testing the results is labor intensive, expensive and inexact This problem is compounded by the large number a different surfactants that are available to detergent formulators. Therefore, there is a continuing need for reliable and inexpensive methods to formulate an optimal surfactant system for use in a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent composition The method should relieve the formulator of excessive experimentation with vaπous surfactant combinations. Moreover, the method should result in a surfactant system that provides superior cleaning benefits. The method should work for both structured and unstructured aqueous, heavy duty liquid detergent compositions. The compositions and methods of this invention meet these needs SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention encompasses a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent compositions comprising a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system comprises from about 0.1% to about 20%, preferably from about 0.5% to about 19%, and more preferably from about 1% to about 18%, by weight of the surfactant system of an alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactant. The surfactant system has a Hydrophilic Index, HI , of from about 8.0 to about 9.2, preferably from about 8.2 to about 9.1, and more preferably from about 8.4 to about 9.0. The Hydrophilic Index can be calculated as follows: Η1Q = ∑y (weight % of surfactant y in the surfactant system) x (Hlgy). Hlgy is calculated for each of the surfactants in the surfactant system as follows: Hlgy = 20 x (the molecular weight of the hydrophilic portion of surfactant component y) / (the molecular weight of surfactant component y). Preferably the surfactant system comprises surfactants selected from the group consisting of non- soap anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteπc, amme, poly hydroxy fatty acid amines and mixtures thereof, and the detergent composition preferably comprises no additional surfactants beyond those in the surfactant system. The surfactant system should comprise from 10% to about 40%, preferably from about 12% to about 35%, and most preferably from about 15% to about 32%, by weight of the composition. The compositions of the present invention also preferably comprise specific enzymes and fatty acids. Specifically, the present heavy duty liquid laundry detergent compositions preferably comprise a detersive amount of an enzyme selected from the group consisting of alkaline protease, mannanase, α-amylase variants, and mixtures thereof, preferably the enzyme is present m an amount of from about 0.0001% to about 1 5%, more preferably from about 0.00018% to about 1 0%, and most preferably from about 0 00024% to about 0.5%, by weight of the detergent composition of the pure enzyme And the present compositions preferably further comprise from about 5% to about 20% by weight of the composition of a fatty acid In addition to the essential surfactant system and the preferred enzymes and fatty acids, the detergent compositions of this invention preferably additionally comprise adjunct ingredients selected from the group consisting of non-citrate builders, optical bπghteners, soil release polymers, dye transfer inhibitors, polymeric dispersing agents, additional enzymes, suds suppressers, dyes, perfumes, colorants, filler salts, hydrotropes, antiredeposition agents, antifadmg agent, chelants, dye fixative agents, prill/fuzzing reducing agents, and mixtures thereof. It has now been unexpectedly found that aqueous, heavy duty liquid detergent compositions containing a surfactants system, which comprises linear alkyl benzene sulfonate in a specific range and has a Hydrophilic Index in a specific range, have superior cleaning benefits when compared to compositions having a Hydrophilic Index or linear alkyl benzene sulfonate outside the ranges claimed herein. Moreover, the Hydrophilic Index provides an inexpensive, quick and reliable method for formulators to optimize a surfactant system that contains linear alkyl benzene sulfonate and at least one other surfactant. The compositions and methods defined herein are applicable to both structured and unstructured aqueous, heavy duty liquid detergent compositions. All percentages, ratios and proportions herein are by weight, unless otherwise specified. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius (° C) unless otherwise specified. All documents cited are in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, it has now been found that a stable, aqueous heavy duty liquid detergent composition is surprisingly formed when a surfactant system is used that comprises linear alkyl benzene sulfonate in a specific percentage of the overall surfactant system. The surfactant system should be selected to be withm the Hydrophilic Index of the present claims While the Hydrophilic Index is defined above, and exemplified in the Example section below, a more thorough background may be helpful for the formulator. It is well known that surfactant molecules have a hydrophilic portion (sometimes referred to as the "head") and a hydrophobic portion (sometimes referred to as the "tail"). The Hydrophilic Index of the present invention is determined from the percent, by weight, of each surfactant that is hydrophilic. Those skilled in the art of detergent formulation will know which portions of a surfactant molecule are hydrophilic and which are hydrophobic. And examples of how to calculate this Index for some of the most common surfactants are given in Example I below The Hydrophilic Index for a surfactant molecule is referred to herein as Hlg. The Hydrophilic Index for any given surfactant system can be summing the weight averaged HIg for each surfactant in the surfactant system. The weight averaged HIg can be calculated by multiplying the HIg of each surfactant m the system by the weight percent of the surfactant relative to the surfactant system. The Hydrophilic Index for a surfactant system is referred to herein as HI . Examples of the HIc calculation for compositions according to the present invention, and for comparative compositions outside of the present claims, can be found in Example II below.

Enzyme stabilization systems are also described, for example, in U.S. 3,519,570. A useful Bacillus, sp. AC13 giving proteases, xylanases and cellulases, is described m WO 9401532 A to Novo i) Mannanase A preferred element of the detergent compositions of the present invention is a mannanase enzyme. Encompassed in the present invention are the following three mannans- degradmg enzymes . EC 3.2.1 25 . β-mannosidase, EC 3 2.1 78 : Endo-l,4-β-mannosιdase, referred therein after as "mannanase" and EC 3.2.1.100 • 1 ,4-β-mannobιosιdase (IUPAC Classification- Enzyme nomenclature, 1992 ISBN 0-12-227165-3 Academic Press). More preferably, the detergent compositions of the present invention comprise a β-1,4- Mannosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.78) referred to as Mannanase. The term "mannanase" or "galactomannanase" denotes a mannanase enzyme defined according to the art as officially being named mannan endo-l,4-beta-mannosidase and having the alternative names beta-mannanase and endo-l,4-mannanase and catalysing the reaction: random hydrolysis of 1 ,4-beta-D- mannosidic linkages in mannans, galactomannans, glucomannans, and galactoglucomannans. In particular, Mannanases (EC 3.2.1.78) constitute a group of polysaccharases which degrade mannans and denote enzymes which are capable of cleaving polyose chains contaning mannose units, i.e. are capable of cleaving glycosidic bonds in mannans, glucomannans, galactomannans and galactogluco-mannans. Mannans are polysaccharides having a backbone composed of β-1,4- linked mannose; glucomannans are polysaccharides having a backbone or more or less regularly alternating β-1,4 linked mannose and glucose; galactomannans and galactoglucomannans are mannans and glucomannans with α-1,6 linked galactose sidebranches. These compounds may be acetylated. The degradation of galactomannans and galactoglucomannans is facilitated by full or partial removal of the galactose sidebranches. Further the degradation of the acetylated mannans, glucomannans, galactomannans and galactogluco-mannans is facilitated by full or partial deacetylation. Acetyl groups can be removed by alkali or by mannan acetylesterases. The oligomers which are released from the mannanases or by a combination of mannanases and α- galactosidase and/or mannan acetyl esterases can be further degraded to release free maltose by β-mannosidase and/or β-glucosidase. Mannanases have been identified in several Bacillus organisms. For example, Talbot et al., Appl. Environ. Microbiol., Vol.56, No. 11, pp. 3505-3510 (1990) describes a beta-mannanase derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus in dimer form having molecular weight of 162 kDa and an optimum pH of 5.5-7.5. Mendoza et al., World J. Microbiol. Biotech., Vol. 10, No. 5, pp. 551- 555 (1994) describes a beta-mannanase derived from Bacillus subtilis having a molecular weight of 38 kDa, an optimum activity at pH 5.0 and 55C and a pi of 4.8. JP-03047076 discloses a beta- mannanase derived from Bacillus sp., having a molecular weight of 373 kDa measured by gel filtration, an optimum pH of 8-10 and a pl of 5.3-5.4. JP-63056289 describes the production of an alkaline, thermostable beta-mannanase which hydrolyses beta-1 ,4-D-mannopyranoside bonds of e.g. mannans and produces manno-oligosaccharides. JP-63036774 relates to the Bacillus microorganism FERM P-8856 which produces beta-mannanase and beta-mannosidase at an alkaline pH. JP-08051975 discloses alkaline beta-mannanases from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. AM- 001. A purified mannanase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens useful in the bleaching of pulp and paper and a method of preparation thereof is disclosed in WO 97/11164. WO 91/18974 describes a hemicellulase such as a glucanase, xylanase or mannanase active at an extreme pH and temperature. WO 94/25576 discloses an enzyme from Aspergillus aculeatus, CBS 101.43, exhibiting mannanase activity which may be useful for degradation or modification of plant or algae cell wall material. WO 93/24622 discloses a mannanase isolated from Tnchoderma reseei useful for bleaching hgnocellulosic pulps. An hemicellulase capable of degrading mannan- contaming hemicellulose is descπbed in W091/18974 and a purified mannanase from Bacillus amylohquefaciens is described in W097/11164.

LIPOLASE® enzyme derived from Humicola lanuginosa and commercially available from Novo, see also EP 341,947, is a preferred lipase for use herein. Lipase variants stabilized against peroxidase enzymes are described in WO 9414951 A to Novo. See also WO 9205249 and RD 94359044. Highly preferred lipases are the D96L polytic enzyme variant of the native lipase derived from Humicola lanuginosa as described in US Serial No. 08/341,826. (See also patent application WO 92/05249 viz. wherein the native lipase ex Humicola lanuginosa aspartic acid (D) residue at position 96 is changed to Leucme (L). According to this nomenclature said substitution of aspartic acid to Leucme in position 96 is shown as : D96L.) Preferably the Humicola lanuginosa strain DSM 4106 is used. In spite of the large number of publications on lipase enzymes, only the lipase derived from Humicola lanuginosa and produced m Aspergillus oryzae as host has so far found widespread application as additive for fabric washing products It is available from Novo Nordisk under the tradename Lipolase™, as noted above In order to optimize the stam removal performance of Lipolase, Novo Nordisk have made a number of variants As described in WO 92/05249, the D96L vaoant of the native Humicola lanuginosa lipase improves the lard stam removal efficiency by a factor 4.4 over the wild-type lipase (enzymes compared in an amount ranging from 0 075 to 2.5 mg protein per liter) Research Disclosure No 35944 published on March 10, 1994, by Novo Nordisk discloses that the lipase variant (D96L) may be added m an amount corresponding to 0 001-100- mg (5-500,000 LU/hter) lipase variant per liter of wash liquor Lipase enzyme is incorporated into the composition m accordance with the invention at a level of from 50 LU to 8500 LU per liter wash solution Preferably the variant D96L is present at a level of from 100 LU to 7500 LU per liter of wash solution More preferably at a level of from 150 LU to 5000 LU per liter of wash solution The lipases and or cutmases are normally incorporated in the detergent composition at levels from 0 0001% to 2% of active enzyme by weight of the detergent composition Also suitable are cutmases [EC 3.1.1.50] which can be considered as a special kind of lipase, namely lipases which do not require mterfacial activation. Addition of cutmases to detergent compositions have been described in e.g. WO-A-88/09367 (Genencor). v) Cellulase The laundry detergent compositions according to the present invention may further comprise at least 0.001% by weight, preferably at least about 0.01%, of a cellulase enzyme. However, an effective amount of cellulase enzyme is sufficient for use in the laundry detergent compositions described herein. The term "an effective amount" refers to any amount capable of producing a cleaning, stam removal, soil removal, whitening, deodorizing, or freshness improving effect on substrates such as fabrics, dishware and the like. The compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.05% to about 2%, preferably from about 0.1% to about 1.5% by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. The cellulase enzymes of the present invention are usually present in such commercial preparations at levels sufficient to provide from 0.005 to 0.1 Anson units (AU) of activity per gram of composition. Preferably, the optimum pH of the enzyme-contammg composition is between about 7 and about 9.5. U. S. Patent No. 4,435,307, Barbesgaard et al, issued March 6, 1984, discloses cellulase produced from Humicola insolens. Examples of other suitable cellulases include those produced by a strain of Humicola insolens, Humicola grisea var. thermoidea, and cellulases produced by a species of Bacillus sp or Aeromonas sp. Other useful cellulases are those extracted from the hepatopancreas of the marine mollusc Dolabella Auricula Solander. Suitable cellulases are also disclosed m the following: GB 2,075,028 A (Novo Industπ A S); GB 2,095,275 A (Kao Soap Co., Ltd.); and Hookoshi et al, U.S. Patent No. 3,844,890 (Rikagaku Kenkyusho). In addition, suitable cellulases and methods for their preparation are described in PCT International Publication Number WO 91/17243, published November 14, 1991 , by Novo Nordisk A/S. Cellulases are known m the art and can be obtained from suppliers under the tradenames: Celluzyme®, Endolase®, and Carezyme®. For industrial production of the cellulases herein it is preferred that recomb ant DNA techniques be employed. However other techniques involving adjustments of fermentations or mutation of the microorganisms involved can be employed to ensure overproduction of the desired enzymatic activities. Such methods and techniques are known in the art and may readily be carried out by persons skilled in the art. vi) Other Enzymes Peroxidase enzymes may be used in combination with oxygen sources, e.g., percarbonate, perborate, hydrogen peroxide, etc., for "solution bleaching" or prevention of transfer of dyes or pigments removed from substrates during the wash to other substrates present in the wash solution. Known peroxidases include horseradish peroxidase, ligninase, and haloperoxidases such as chloro- or bromo-peroxidase. Peroxidase-containing detergent compositions are disclosed in WO 89099813 A, October 19, 1989 to Novo and WO 8909813 A to Novo. Enzyme Stabilizing System Enzyme-containing, including but not limited to, liquid compositions, herein may comprise from about 0.001% to about 10%, preferably from about 0.005% to about 8%, most preferably from about 0.01% to about 6%, by weight of an enzyme stabilizing system. Such stabilizing systems can, for example, comprise calcium ion, boric acid, propylene glycol, short chain carboxylic acids, boronic acids, and mixtures thereof, and are designed to address different stabilization problems depending on the type and physical form of the detergent composition. See Severson, U.S. 4,537,706 for a review of Borate stabilizers. Suitable chlorine scavenger anions are widely known and readily available, and, if used, can be salts containing ammonium cations with sulfite, bisulfite, thiosulfite, thiosulfate, iodide, etc. Antioxidants such as carbamate, ascorbate, etc., organic amines such as ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) or alkali metal salt thereof, monoethanolamine (MEA), and mixtures thereof can likewise be used. Other conventional scavengers such as bisulfate, nitrate, chloride, sources of hydrogen peroxide such as sodium perborate tetrahydrate, sodium perborate monohydrate and sodium percarbonate, as well as phosphate, condensed phosphate, acetate, benzoate, citrate, formate, lactate, malate, tartrate, salicylate, etc., and mixtures thereof can be used if desired. Perfumes Perfumes and perfumery ingredients useful in the present compositions and processes comprise a wide variety of natural and synthetic chemical ingredients, including, but not limited to, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and the like. Also included are various natural extracts and essences which can comprise complex mixtures of ingredients, such as orange oil, lemon oil, rose extract, lavender, musk, patchouli, balsamic essence, sandalwood oil, pine oil, cedar, and the like. Finished perfumes can comprise extremely complex mixtures of such ingredients. Finished perfumes typically comprise from about 0.01% to about 4%, by weight, of the detergent compositions herein, and individual perfumery ingredients can comprise from about 0.0001% to about 90% of a finished perfume composition. Material Care Agents The present compositions may optionally contain as corrosion inhibitors and/or anti- tamish aids one or more material care agents such as silicates. Material care agents include bismuth salts, transition metal salts such as those of manganese, certain types of paraffin, toazoles, pyrazoles, thiols, mercaptans, aluminium fatty acid salts, and mixtures thereof and are preferably incorporated at low levels, e.g., from about 0.01% to about 5% of the composition. A preferred paraffin oil is a predominantly branched aliphatic hydrocarbon comprising from about 20 to about 50 carbon atoms with a ratio of cyclic to noncychc hydrocarbons of about 32 to 68 sold by Wmtershall, Salzbergen, Germany as WLNOG 70®. Bι(N03)3 may be added. Other corrosion inhibitors are illustrated by benzotπazole, thiols including thionaphtol and thioanthranol, and finely divided aluminium fatty acid salts. All such materials will generally be used judiciously so as to avoid producing spots or films on glassware or compromising the bleaching action of the compositions. For this reason, it may be preferred to formulate without mercaptan anti-tarnishes which are quite strongly bleach-reactive or common fatty carboxy c acids which precipitate with calcium. Chelating Agents The detergent compositions herein may also optionally contain one or more iron and/or manganese chelatmg agents. Such chelatmg agents can be selected from the group consisting of ammo carboxylates, ammo phosphonates, polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelatmg agents and mixtures therein, all as hereinafter defined. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the benefit of these materials is due in part to their exceptional ability to remove iron and manganese ions from washing solutions by formation of soluble chelates. Ammo carboxylates useful as optional chelating agents include ethylenediaminetetrace- tates, N-hydroxyethylethylenediammetoacetates, mtrilotriacetates, ethylenediamme tetrapro- pπonates, tπethylenetetraaminehexacetates, diethylenetπaminepentaacetates, and ethanoldi- glycmes, alkali metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts therein and mixtures therein. Ammo phosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the invention when at lease low levels of total phosphorus are permitted in detergent compositions, and include ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates) as DEQUEST. Preferred, these ammo phosphonates to not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms Polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful m the compositions herein. See U.S. Patent 3,812,044, issued May 21, 1974, to Connor et al. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfobenzenes such as l,2-dιhydroxy-3,5- disulfobenzene. A preferred biodegradable chelator for use herein is ethylenediamme disuccinate ("EDDS"), especially the [S,S] isomer as described in U.S. Patent 4,704,233, November 3, 1987, to Hartman and Perkins. The compositions herein may also contain water-soluble methyl glycme diacetic acid (MGDA) salts (or acid form) as a chelant or co-builder useful with, for example, insoluble builders such as zeolites, layered silicates and the like. If utilized, these chelatmg agents will generally comprise from about 0.1% to about 15% by weight of the detergent compositions herein. More preferably, if utilized, the chelatmg agents will comprise from about 0.1% to about 3.0% by weight of such compositions. Polymeric Dispersing Agents Polymeric dispersing agents can advantageously be utilized at levels from about 0.1% to about 7%, by weight, in the compositions herein, especially m the presence of zeolite and/or layered silicate builders. Suitable polymeric dispersing agents include polymeric polycarboxylates and polyethylene glycols, although others known in the art can also be used. It is believed, though it is not intended to be limited by theory, that polymeric dispersing agents enhance overall detergent builder performance, when used in combination with other builders (including lower molecular weight polycarboxylates) by crystal growth inhibition, particulate soil release peptization, and anti-redeposition. Polymeric polycarboxylate materials can be prepared by polymerizing or copolymeπzmg suitable unsaturated monomers, preferably m their acid form. Unsaturated monomeoc acids that can be polymerized to form suitable polymeric polycarboxylates include acrylic acid, maleic acid (or maleic anhydride), fumaric acid, ltacomc acid, acomtic acid, mesacomc acid, citraconic acid and methylenemalonic acid. The presence in the polymeric polycarboxylates herein or monomeπc segments, containing no carboxylate radicals such as vmylmethyl ether, styrene, ethylene, etc. is suitable provided that such segments do not constitute more than about 40% by weight Particularly suitable polymeric polycarboxylates can be derived from acrylic acid. Such acrylic acid-based polymers which are useful herein are the water-soluble salts of polymeozed acrylic acid. The average molecular weight of such polymers in the acid form preferably ranges from about 2,000 to 10,000, more preferably from about 4,000 to 7,000 and most preferably from about 4,000 to 5,000. Water-soluble salts of such acrylic acid polymers can include, for example, the alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts. Soluble polymers of this type are known materials. Use of polyacrylates of this type in detergent compositions has been disclosed, for example, in Diehl, U.S. Patent 3,308,067, issued march 7, 1967. Acrylic/maleic-based copolymers may also be used as a preferred component of the dispersing/anti-redeposition agent. Such materials include the water-soluble salts of copolymers of acrylic acid and maleic acid. The average molecular weight of such copolymers in the acid form preferably ranges from about 2,000 to 100,000, more preferably from about 5,000 to 75,000, most preferably from about 7,000 to 65,000. The ratio of acrylate to maleate segments in such copolymers will generally range from about 30:1 to about 1 :1, more preferably from about 10: 1 to 2: 1. Water-soluble salts of such acrylic acid maleic acid copolymers can include, for example, the alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts. Soluble acrylate/maleate copolymers of this type are known materials which are described in European Patent Application No. 66915, published December 15, 1982, as well as in EP 193,360, published September 3, 1986, which also describes such polymers comprising hydroxypropylacrylate. Still other useful dispersing agents include the maleic/acrylic/vinyl alcohol terpolymers. Such materials are also disclosed in EP 193,360, including, for example, the 45/45/10 terpolymer of acrylic/maleic/vinyl alcohol. Other polymeric materials which can be included are polypropylene glycol (PPG), propylene glycol (PG), and polyethylene glycol (PEG). PEG can exhibit dispersing agent performance as well as act as a clay soil removal-antiredeposition agent. Typical molecular weight ranges for these purposes range from about 500 to about 100,000, preferably from about 1,000 to about 50,000, more preferably from about 1,500 to about 10,000. Polyaspartate and polyglutamate dispersing agents may also be used, especially in conjunction with zeolite builders. Dispersing agents such as polyaspartate preferably have a molecular weight (avg.) of about 10,000. Alkoxylated polycarboxylates such as those prepared from polyacrylates are useful herein to provide additional grease removal performance. Such materials are described in WO 91/08281 and PCT 90/01815 at p. 4 et seq. Chemically, these materials comprise polyacrylates having one ethoxy side-chain per every 7-8 acrylate units. The side-chains are of the formula -(CH 2 CH2θ) m (CH2) n CH3 wherein m is 2-3 and n is 6-12. The side-chains are ester-linked to the polyacrylate "backbone" to provide a "comb" polymer type structure. The molecular weight can vary, but is typically in the range of about 2000 to about 50,000. Such alkoxylated polycarboxylates can comprise from about 0.05% to about 10%, by weight, of the compositions herein. The levels of these dispersants used can range from about 0.1% to about 10%, typically from about 0.4% to about 5%, by weight. These dispersants can be synthesized following the methods outline in US. Patent No. 4,664,848, or other ways known to those skilled in the art. Dye Fixative Materials Optionally but preferred for use herein are selected dye fixative materials which do not form precipitates.with anionic surfactant. The selected dye fixatives useful herein may be in the form of unpolymerized materials, oligomers or polymers. Moreover, the preferred dye fixatives useful herein are cationic. The dye fixative component of the compositions herein will generally comprise from about 0.1% to 5% by the weight of the composition. More preferably, such dye fixative materials will comprise from about 0.5% to 4% by weight of the compositions, most preferably from about 1% to 3%. Such concentrations should be sufficient to provide from about 10 to 100 ppm of the dye fixative in the aqueous washing solutions formed from the laundry detergent compositions herein. More prefearably from about 20 to 60 ppm of the dye fixative will be delivered to the aqueous washing solution, most preferably about 50 ppm. The non-precipitating dye fixatives useful herein include a number that are commercially marketed by CLARIANT Corporation under the Sandofix®, Sandolec® and Polymer VRN® tradenames. These include, for example, Sandofix SWE®, Sandofix WA®, Sandolec CT®, Sandolec CS®, Sandolec CI®, Sandolec CF®, Sandolec WA® and Polymer VRN®.

Builders Detergent builders can optionally but preferably be included in the compositions herein, for example to assist in controlling mineral, especially Ca and/or Mg, hardness in wash water or to assist in the removal of particulate soils from surfaces. Builder level can vary widely depending upon end use and physical form of the composition. Built detergents typically comprise at least about 1% builder. Liquid formulations typically comprise about 5% to about 50%, more typically 5% to 35% of builder. Lower or higher levels of builders are not excluded. For example, certain detergent additive or high-surfactant formulations can be unbuilt. Suitable builders herein can be selected from the group consisting of phosphates and polyphosphates, especially the sodium salts; silicates including water-soluble and hydrous solid types and including those having chain-, layer-, or three-dimensional- structure as well as amorphous-solid or non-structured-liquid types; carbonates, bicarbonates, sesquicarbonates and carbonate minerals other than sodium carbonate or sesquicarbonate; aluminosilicates; organic mono-, di-, to-, and tetracarboxylates especially water-soluble nonsurfactant carboxylates in acid, sodium, potassium or alkanolammomum salt form, as well as oligomeπc or water-soluble low molecular weight polymer carboxylates including aliphatic and aromatic types; and phytic acid. Builder mixtures, sometimes termed "builder systems" can be used and typically comprise two or more conventional builders, optionally complemented by chelants, pH-buffers or fillers, though these latter materials are generally accounted for separately when describing quantities of materials herein. P-containmg detergent builders often preferred where permitted by legislation include, but are not limited to, the alkali metal, ammonium and alkanolammomum salts of polyphosphates exemplified by the tripolyphosphates, pyrophosphates, glassy polymeric meta-phosphates; and phosphonates. Suitable silicate builders include alkali metal silicates, particularly those liquids and solids having a Sιθ2:Na 2 0 ratio in the range 1.6:1 to 3.2: 1, including, particularly for automatic dishwashing purposes, solid hydrous 2-ratιo silicates marketed by PQ Corp. under the tradename BPJTESIL®, e.g., BRTTESIL H20; and layered silicates, e.g., those described in U.S. 4,664,839, May 12, 1987, H. P. Rieck. See preparative methods in German DE-A-3,417,649 and DE-A- 3,742,043. Also suitable for use herein are synthesized crystalline ion exchange materials or hydrates thereof as taught m U.S. 5,427,711, Sakaguchi et al, June 27, 1995. Suitable carbonate builders include alkaline earth and alkali metal carbonates as disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2.321,001 published on November 15, 1973. Aluminosilicate builders are especially useful in granular detergents, but can also be incorporated in liquids. Suitable for the present purposes are those having empirical formula: [M z (Alθ2) z (Sιθ2) v ]-xH2θ wherein z and v are integers of at least 6, the molar ratio of z to v is in the range from 1.0 to 0.5, and x is an integer from 15 to 264. Aluminosilicates can be crystalline or amorphous, naturally-occurring or synthetically derived. An aluminosilicate production method is in U.S 3,985,669, Krummel, et al, October 12, 1976. Preferred synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange materials are available as Zeolite A, Zeolite P (B), Zeolite X and, to whatever extent this differs from Zeolite P, the so-called Zeolite MAP. Suitable organic detergent builders include polycarboxylate compounds, including water- soluble nonsurfactant dicarboxylates and tricarboxylates. More typically builder polycarboxylates have a plurality of carboxylate groups, preferably at least 3 carboxylates. Carboxylate builders can be formulated in acid, partially neutral, neutral or overbased form. When in salt form, alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, or alkanolammomum salts are preferred. Polycarboxylate builders include the ether polycarboxylates, such as oxydisuccinate, see Berg, U.S. 3,128,287, April 7, 1964, and Lamberti et al, U.S. 3,635,830, January 18, 1972; "TMS/TDS" builders of U.S. 4,663,071, Bush et al, May 5, 1987; and other ether carboxylates including cyclic and alicyclic compounds, such as those described in U.S. Patents 3,923,679; 3,835,163; 4,158,635; 4,120,874 and 4,102,903.

Oxydisuccinates are also especially useful in such compositions and combinations. Certain detersive surfactants or their short-chain homologs also have a builder action. For unambiguous formula accounting purposes, when they have surfactant capability, these materials are summed up as detersive surfactants. Preferred types for builder functionality are illustrated by: 3,3-dicarboxy-4-oxa-l,6-hexanedioates and the related compounds disclosed in U.S. 4,566,984, Bush, January 28, 1986.

These builders are referred to herein as "Mineral Builders". Polymeric Soil Release Agent Known polymeric soil release agents, hereinafter "SRA" or "SRA's", can optionally be employed in the present detergent compositions. If utilized, SRA's will generally comprise from 0.01 % to 10.0%, typically from 0.1% to 5%, preferably from 0.2% to 3.0% by weight, of the composition. SRA's can include a variety of charged, e.g., anionic or even cationic (see U.S. 4,956,447), as well as noncharged monomer units and structures may be linear, branched or even star-shaped. They may include capping moieties which are especially effective in controlling molecular weight or altering the physical or surface-active properties. Structures and charge distributions may be tailored for application to different fiber or textile types and for varied detergent or detergent additive products. Suitable SRA's include a sulfonated product of a substantially linear ester oligomer comprised of an oligomeric ester backbone of terephthaloyl and oxyalkyleneoxy repeat units, for example as described in U.S. 4,968,451, November 6, 1990 to J.J. Scheibel and E.P. Gosselink. See U.S. 4,711,730, December 8, 1987 to Gosselink et al, for examples of those produced by transesterification/ oligomerization of poly(ethyleneglycol) methyl ether, DMT, PG and poly(ethyleneglycol) ("PEG").

Other SRA's are polyesters with repeat units containing 10-15% by weight of ethylene terephthalate together with 90-80% by weight of polyoxyethylene terephthalate, derived from a polyoxyethylene glycol of average molecular weight 300-5,000. Commercial examples include ZELCON 5126 from Dupont and MILEASE T from lCI. U.S. 5,415,807, Gosselink, Pan, Kellett and Hall, issued May 16, 1995. Suitable monomers for the above SRA include Na 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-ethanesulfonate, DMT, Na- dimethyl 5-sulfoisophthalate, EG and PG. Additional classes of SRA's include (I) nonionic terephthalates using diisocyanate coupling agents to link up polymeric ester structures, see U.S. 4,201,824, Violland et al. and U.S. 4,240,918 Lagasse et al; (LI) SRA's with carboxylate terminal groups made by adding trimellitic anhydride to known SRA's to convert terminal hydroxyl groups to trimellitate esters. With a proper selection of catalyst, the trimellitic anhydride forms linkages to the terminals of the polymer through an ester of the isolated carboxylic acid of trimellitic anhydride rather than by opening of the anhydride linkage. Either nonionic or anionic SRA's may be used as starting materials as long as they have hydroxyl terminal groups which may be esterified.

Suds Suppressors Suds suppression can be of particular importance in the so-called "high concentration cleaning process" as described in U.S. 4,489,455 and 4,489,574 and in front-loading European- style washing machines. A wide variety of materials may be used as suds suppressors, and suds suppressors are well known to those skilled in the art. See, for example, Kirk Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Third Edition, Volume 7, pages 430-447 (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1979). One category of suds suppressor of particular interest encompasses monocarboxylic fatty acid and soluble salts therein. See U.S. Patent 2,954,347, issued September 27, 1960 to Wayne St. John. The monocarboxylic fatty acids and salts thereof used as suds suppressor typically have hydrocarbyl chains of 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, preferably 12 to 18 carbon atoms. Suitable salts include the alkali metal salts such as sodium, potassium, and lithium salts, and ammonium and alkanolammomum salts. The detergent compositions herein may also contain non-surfactant suds suppressors. These include, for example: high molecular weight hydrocarbons such as paraffin, fatty acid esters (e.g., fatty acid toglyceodes), fatty acid esters of monovalent alcohols, aliphatic Ci -C4ø ketones (e.g., stearone), etc. Other suds inhibitors include N-alkylated ammo tπazmes such as to- to hexa-alkylmelammes or di- to tetra-alkyldiamme chlortriazmes formed as products of cyanuoc chloride with two or three moles of a primary or secondary amme containing 1 to 24 carbon atoms, propylene oxide, and monostearyl phosphates such as monostearyl alcohol phosphate ester and monostearyl di-alkah metal (e.g., K, Na, and Li) phosphates and phosphate esters. The hydrocarbons such as paraffin and haloparaffin can be utilized in liquid form. Hydrocarbon suds suppressors are described, for example, m U.S. Patent 4,265,779, issued May 5, 1981 to Gandolfo et al. Another preferred category of non-surfactant suds suppressors comprises silicone suds suppressors.
