| abstract |
The present invention relates to an antimicrobial laundry detergent composition comprising, by weight of the composition, an antimicrobial agent which is a diphenyl ether, an amphoteric surfactant which is a C 6 -C 20 alkyl dimethyl amine oxide (AO), and an anionic surfactant which is a linear C 6 -C 20 alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), while LAS is present as the main surfactant of the composition. The laundry detergent composition characterized by such a surfactant system with AO and a high LAS content allows the enhanced deposition of such an antimicrobial agent on the treated fabrics. |
