The present invention relates to a homogenous, flowable solution of an alpha olefin sulfonate, ethanol and water which can be used in the formulation of cleaning compositions.

Homogenous solution of an alpha olefin sulfonate surfactant

An aqueous liquid detergent composition for handwashing soiled dishware includes specific narrow classes and amounts of magnesium or sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate surfactant, alkyl ether sulfate surfactant, C.sub.12 -C.sub.16 alkyl polyglucoside and alkanolamide foam stabilizer. A higher alkyl sulfosuccinate or sulfosuccinate, optionally ethoxylated, anionic surfactant may also be present. The compositions are capable of generating a stable foam and are effective in cleaning greasy soils with acceptable mildness for the consumer and with good rinseability.

Light duty liquid detergent compositions

A process for the manufacture of a concentrated liquid detergent composition containing over 40% solid ingredients including magnesium alkylbenzene sulfonate and an alkanolamide component, offers reduction in viscosity during manufacture and upon cooling of the composition. The addition of salts and hydrotropes to the concentrated liquid detergent composition and the incorporation of alkanolamide prior to the addition of alkylbenzene sulfonic acid sufficiently lowers the viscosity of the mixture to allow processing under conventional mixing conditions.
