Abstract: A liquid detergent composition, particularly suitable for washing dishes, comprises from 30% to 90%, by weight, of the total composition of water, and a surfactant mixture comprising i) a 100 % by weight linear, optionally alkoxylated, alkyl sulfate surfactant, and ii) a branched, optionally alkoxylated, alkyl sulfate surfactant, wherein the amount of branched alkyl sulfate surfactant is 10% to 60%, by weight, of the total alkyl sulfate surfactant, provided that if either or each of the linear and branched alkyl sulfate surfactants is alkoxylated, the molar weight average degree of alkoxylation is less than 1.4. The compositions have improved viscosity characteristics and good grease and/or suds performance, and are stable at low temperature.
