A detergent composition comprising the following components (A), (B) and (C): (A) a polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfate or an alkyl sulfate represented by the general formula (1): R1O (CH2CH2O) nSO3M (1) wherein R1 represents a straight chain or branched chain alkyl or alkenyl group, having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, an average number of moles of moles n represents a number from 0 to 5, and M represents an alkali metal atom, a alkanolamine or ammonium; (B) myristic alcohol; (C) one or more non-ionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of a (C-1) alkoxylate represented by the general formula (2): R2O- (AO) n-R3 (2) wherein R2 represents an alkyl group or straight chain or branched chain alkenyl, having 8 to 10 carbon atoms, AO represents an alkyleneoxy group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, an average number of moles added n represents a number of 0.5 or more and less than 4.0, and R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; where the weight ratio of component (A) to component (B) is (A) / (B)> = 91, 5/8, 5 to 80/20, the weight ratio of component (A) to to component (C) is (A) / (C)> = from 98/2 to 85/15, the weight ratio of component (B) to component (C) is (B) / (C)> = of 90/10 to 30/70, and the content of component (B) is 1, 6 to 14% by weight. |
