A multipurpose detergent composition comprising from about 5% to about 25% of a surfactant system comprising: from about 20% to about 100% of at least one anionic surfactant, wherein no more than about 12% by weight of the overall multipurpose detergent composition comprises anionic surfactants having more than 14 carbon atoms; from about 0.04% to about 40% of an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant; and from about 0.5% to about 5% of at least one organic acid, each organic acid in the multipurpose detergent composition having fewer than 9 carbon atoms, whereby the multipurpose detergent composition has a neat pH of from about 2 to about 7; the multipurpose detergent composition is substantially free of cationic surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants, enzymes, soil suspension polymers and soil release polymers. |
