  • Detergent compositions
    Patent number: 6713442
    Abstract: A built particulate laundry detergent composition containing anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactant and conventional ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant also contains a low level of a highly ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 15 to 40, and a low level of a textile softening clay. The composition exhibits increased mildness to the skin without loss of detergency performance, and the softness of washed fabrics is significantly improved despite the low level of softening clay present.
