A surfactant composition containing a mixture of at least two surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionics, nonionics, cationics, amphoterics, and mixtures thereof, wherein the surfactants have matching carbon chain length distributions in their hydrophobic groups.

Use of surfactant mixtures with matching hydrophobes to obtain increased performance in laundry detergents

A detergent composition comprising: (a) an alkali component selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and mixtures thereof; and (b) a dye transfer inhibition additive selected from the group consisting of: (i) a sugar surfactant selected from the group consisting of an alkyl polyglycoside having general formula (I)

Dye transfer inhibition system

A cleaning composition containing: (a) from about 1 to about 60% by weight of a surfactant component consisting essentially of: (i) a fatty alkyl ether sulfate; (ii) a linear alcohol ethoxylate; and (iii) a nonionic sugar surfactant, having a ratio by-weight of (i):(ii):(iii) in a range of about 0.5 to 1.0:1.5 to 2.5:0.5 to 1.5; and (b) from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of an enzyme component selected from the group consisting of proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, peroxidases, and mixtures thereof, all weights being based on the weight of the composition.

Cleaning compositions having enhanced enzyme activity

Alkyl polyglycoside containing industrial and institutional liquid cleaning compositions which provide for the elimination, or the reduction in the amount, of stabilizing agents.
