Abstract: A liquid detergent composition is provided. The composition can be configured to provide high cleaning performance without the requirement of the inclusion of many components found in typical liquid laundry detergent compositions. The compositions may include a majority of an aqueous base, a surfactant system, a builder, and optionally further ingredients, such as a chelator and a fragrance.

Abstract: An article is provided herein which includes an aqueous liquid detergent and a package for the aqueous liquid detergent which is in direct contact with the aqueous liquid detergent, wherein the package is formed from a water-soluble, film-forming material. The aqueous liquid detergent includes at least about 25% by weight of water based on the total weight of the aqueous liquid detergent, and at least about 25% by weight of a water-binding agent based on the total weight of the aqueous liquid detergent. The pH of the aqueous liquid detergent is in the range of about 7 to about 10, and the water activity of the aqueous liquid detergent is in the range of about 0.34 to about 0.64.
