A liquid laundry detergent composition capable of suspending particles and insoluble materials while remaining readily pourable. The composition is stable over long periods of time. In one aspect, the liquid laundry detergent comprises in an aqueous medium: a) at least one nonethoxylated anionic surfactant; b) at least one ethoxylated anionic surfactant; c) at least one nonionic fatty alcohol ethoxylate surfactant; d) an optional surfactant selected from a nonionic surfactant other than c), a cationic surfactant, fatty acid salt surfactant, an ampholytic surfactant, and mixtures thereof; and e) a nonionic, amphiphilic, emulsion polymer that is crosslinked with an amphiphilic crosslinking agent. |
