Heavy duty liquid laundry detergent compositions containing synthetic anionic and ethoxylated nonionic surfactant, detergency builder, specific proteolytic enzyme, an enzyme stabilization system, and water are disclosed. The compositions have a pH in a 10% by weight solution in water at 20°C of between about 7.0 and 9.0, a Critical Micelle Concentration of less than or equal to about 200 ppm, and an air/water Interfacial Tension above the Critical Micelle Concentration of less than or equal to about 32 dynes/cm at 35°C in distilled water. The compositions are preferably clear, homogeneous, stable and provide good cleaning performance, particularly through-the-wash on enzyme-sensitive stains. |
