(57) [Summary]nDisclosed is a detergent composition comprising a mixture of a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate surfactant and a medium chain branched surfactant and an electrolyte. The detergent composition includes a medium chain branched primary alkyl sulfate surfactant and an electrolyte that can increase the ionic strength of the composition, and improves performance, especially under low water temperature wash conditions. Typical electrolytes include sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and the like. |
