Patent ID: 8110537

Claim:
A structured liquid detergent composition comprising: (a) about 1 wt % to about 80 wt % of a nonionic surfactant component, wherein the nonionic surfactant component comprises a mixture of a first, linear nonionic surfactant and a second, branched nonionic surfactant, wherein the weight ratio of the first nonionic surfactant to the second nonionic surfactant is about 1:4 to about 1:16; (b) about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % of a cationic surfactant component, wherein the cationic surfactant component comprises a propoxylated quaternary ammonium surfactant having the following formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 are alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbons and R4 is a polyoxyalkylene group; (c) about 5 wt % to about 94 wt % water; and (d) at least about 5 wt % of a suspended solid particulate component; wherein the weight ratio of the nonionic surfactant component to the cationic surfactant component is about 1:1 to about 8:1 and the structured liquid detergent composition has a conductivity of less than about 30 mS/cm.
