Patent ID: 7754671

Claim:
An aqueous liquid laundry composition to both clean and condition fabric comprising: a. from about 1.5% to about 8% by weight of a nonionic surfactant comprising an alcohol ethoxylate having an alkyl chain length of from about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms and having a degree of ethoxylation of about 7 ethylene oxide moieties; b. from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of an anionic surfactant comprising an alkyl ether sulfate having an alkyl chain length of from about 12 to about 18 carbon atoms and having a degree of ethoxylation of about 7 ethylene oxide moieties; c. from 0 to about 3% by weight of another anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alcohol sulfates having the formula R—O—SO 3 Na wherein R is from about 11 to about 18 carbon atoms, C 10 -C 20 oxo alcohols, and alkyl benzene sulfonates having an alkyl chain of from about 8 to about 16; d. from about 0.1% to about 5% of a quaternary ammonium fabric-softening agent having the general formula (I), wherein R is an alkyl chain having from about 8 to about 30 carbon atoms and n is from about 1 to about 20; e. from 0.1 to about 2% by weight of a silicone copolyol carboxylate which will complex with the quaternary softening agent for enhanced performance and compatibility.
