Abstract: A method for controlling rheology of a unit dose liquid detergent composition includes providing a detergent composition containing less than 20% water, a detergent surfactant, and a rheology modification system comprising iminodisuccinic acid (IDS), ethanol, and polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 1,000 Daltons; and encapsulating the detergent composition in a pouch made of a water soluble film. The viscosity of a mixture of 2 parts of a low water detergent composition to 1 part water can be maintained below 1,000 cp at 1.08 reciprocal seconds where the detergent composition includes about 1% to about 10% by weight of a mixture of IDS, ethanol, and polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 1,000 Daltons.

Abstract: A detergent composition includes a surfactant component in an amount of about 20 to about 75 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the detergent composition. The surfactant component includes an alkyl ether sulfate, an alkoxylated alcohol, and a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. The alkyl ether sulfate is present in an amount of greater than about 20 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the surfactant component. The linear alkylbenzene sulfonate is present in an amount of less than about 40 weight percent actives based on a total weight of the surfactant component. The detergent composition also includes water present in a total amount of from about 10 to about 80 weight and an alkyl dialkylamine oxide present in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent actives, each based on a total weight of the detergent composition.

Abstract: A single dose pack includes a container composed of a water-soluble film and a wash composition encapsulated within the container. The wash composition includes a detergent surfactant, water present in an amount of from about 5 to about 40 weight percent, based on the total weight of the wash composition, a non-aqueous solvent including a combination of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymer having a weight average molecular weight of from about 200 Daltons to about 1,000 Daltons and a polyethyleneimine-ethoxylated (PEI-EO) polymer. The non-aqueous solvent combination of the PEG and PEI-EO polymers is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight of the wash composition. Furthermore, a weight ratio of the PEG polymer to the PEI-EO polymer is from about 10:1 to about 1:10.
