Abstract: A machine dishwashing detergent which cleans at lower temperature combines a chelating agent with a water soluble oxidizing bleach in an alkaline environment and certain combinations of nonionic surfactants: A. a low-foaming water-soluble polyol which is a polyoxypropyleneterminated block copolymer having a polyoxyethylene core; B. an oil-soluble condensate of about 1 to about 5 moles of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic organic compound containing a single -OH group; and C. a high-foaming water-soluble condensate of at least about 7 moles of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic organic compound containing a single --OH group. When all three surfactants are used in an amount of at least about 1%, at least 4% of total surfactant is needed, and when fewer surfactants are used, a larger total amount is required.
