Abstract
Automatic dishwashing detergents containing N-alkoxy or N-aryloxy polyhydroxy fatty acid amide surfactants which provide not only improved cleaning, but also improved filming and spotting performance on tableware are described. Thus, C.sub.12 -C.sub.14 N-(3-methoxypropyl) glucamide is used in automatic dishwashing compositions which, optionally, can be formulated to be free from chlorine bleach or phosphate builders. Weak builders such as citrate and perborate or percarbonate bleach can be used in the compositions, as can various detersive enzymes.
