Patent ID: 8512480

Claim:
A liquid detergent composition comprising from about 0.1% to about 0.3%, by weight of the liquid detergent composition, of a water soluble hydrophobically modified cellulosic polymer having a Mn between about 13,000 and about 25,000 and wherein said polymer is dissolved in an aqueous carrier and said liquid detergent composition has a viscosity of from about 300 cps to about 650 cps, wherein the hydrophobically modified cellulosic polymer is a nonionic hydrophobically modified cellulosic polymer of the following formula: where polymerization degree n is an integer in the range of from 50 and 240; R 1 and R 2 represents alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or mixed alkyl and hydroxyalkyl substituents; and R 3 represents hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, or mixed alkyl and hydroxyalkyl substituents, wherein the liquid detergent composition comprises from about 3% to about 15%, by weight of the liquid detergent composition, of an amine oxide and the liquid detergent composition comprises from about 15% to about 40%, by weight of the liquid detergent composition, of an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of C 10 -C 14 alkyl or hydroxyalkyl sulphate or sulphonate and mixtures thereof, wherein the liquid detergent composition is a clear single phase liquid.
