Stable liquid detergent containing anionic surfactant and monosulfonated

Stable isotropic liquid laundry detergents containing anionic surfactant and sodium 4,4'-bis((4-anilino-6-morpholino-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-amino)-2-stilbenesulf onate to reduce brightener staining of fabrics while maintaining fabric whiteness.

Alkaline dishwasher detergent composition having a specific critical pH, and a relatively high level of available chlorine, buffered with trisodium phosphate, containing a tripolyphosphate or pyrophosphate sequestering builder, and having a relatively high level of surfactant. The detergent composition is substantially free of highly alkaline materials and organic builders and preferably contains 2.0r alkali metal silicate and/or a preferred C.sub.17 -C.sub.19 polyethoxylate surfactant.

Alkaline dishwasher detergent

A surfactant which is the condensation product of a fatty alcohol containing from 17 to 19 carbon atoms with from about 6 to about 15 moles of ethylene oxide, the distribution of the ethylene oxide condensation products being such as to give more than about 50% by weight within .+-.2 ethylene oxide moieties of the average, preferably, no single condensation product (a single specific number of ethylene oxide moieties) constituting more than 50% by weight of the product; automatic dishwasher compositions containing said surfactant.
