| abstract |
Heavy duty liquid detergent compositions containing high levels of anionic synthetic surfactant, carboxylate detergency builder, proteolytic enzyme, and alkanolamine are disclosed. The high level of alkanolamine, preferably monoethanolamine, prevents or minimizes crystallization of the protease during storage of the compositions. The compositions are preferably clear, homogeneous, and stable, and are particularly useful as laundry detergents that provide good cleaning performance on enzyme-sensitive stains. |
