The invention provides a stable, liquid, substantially nonaqueous detergent comprising: n at least one imidoperacid with the structuren n wherein R is C₁₋₂₀ alkylene, R¹ and R² are individually H or C₁₋₆ alkyl or alkenyl, or R¹ and R² join to form a heterocycle, said imidoperacid being solubilized in a liquid nonionic surfactant. The stable liquid detergent has excellent oxidant and phase stability and, if enzymes are present, maintains proficient enzyme activity. |
