A process for the preparation of mixed ethoxylated alcohol/ethoxy sulfate surfactants, such surfactants, and detergent formulations incorporating the same. The mixed surfactants comprise a neutralized blend incorporating, in addition to the sulfated and unsulfated ethyoxylated alcohols, from 2 to 10% by weight unethoxylated alcohols and from 6 to 50% by weight unethoxylated alcohol sulfates in the proportions defined within the region ABCDE in the accompanying drawing.

Mixed ethoxylated alcohol/ethoxy sulfate surfactants and synthetic

Dry blended carbonate or phosphate-based laundry detergents are prepared by adding to unhydrated or partially hydrated builder salts, a pH buffering compound and a detergent active compound, together with other formulating agents, coarse, hydrous granular water soluble silicate particles, the silicate particles passing a 10 mesh screen and about 95% of the particles are retained on a 100 mesh screen, according to the disclosed method. Dry blended laundry detergents so formulated are substantially completely free of insoluble product lumps when used in cold wash water in the temperature range of 35.degree.-75.degree. F.
