| abstract |
This invention pertains to homogeneous, preferably clear, liquid detergent compositions which are particularly suitable for the removal of food soils from hard surfaces such as dishes. Said compositions consist essentially of a mixture of organic detergents; organic sequestering builders; polyfunctional anionic surfactants which serve as phase modifiers; and water. The organic sequestering builder is preferably represented by citrates whereas the polyfunctional anionic surfactant can be represented by water-soluble salts of sulfonated higher fatty acids or by water-soluble salts of a component derived from succinic acid. The liquid medium of the instant homogeneous liquid detergent composition is essentially water. |
