Patent ID: 8921297

Claim:
A liquid hand dishwashing detergent composition comprising: a. from about 2% to about 70% by weight of the composition of an ethoxylated anionic surfactant derived from a fatty alcohol, wherein: i. at least about 90% by weight of said fatty alcohol is linear, and ii. said fatty alcohol has an average degree of ethoxylation of from about 1 to about 2; and b. from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of the composition of an ethoxylated branched nonionic surfactant, having an average degree of ethoxylation of about 8; wherein the total amount of surfactant is from about 10 to about 85% by weight of the liquid detergent composition, wherein said ethoxylated anionic surfactant is a saturated C 10 -C 14 alkyl ethoxysulphate and said ethoxylated branched nonionic surfactant is 3-propyl heptanol, wherein the degree of ethoxylation of said branched nonionic is greater than the degree of ethoxylation of said ethoxylated anionic surfactant.
