Abstract
Disclosed are thickened light-duty or gel dishwashing detergent compositions that are especially useful for the manual washing of heavily soiled dishware. Such compositions essentially contain an alkyl ether sulfate-based anionic surfactant, a polyhydroxy fatty acid amide-based nonionic surfactant component, a sud booster which is preferably an amine oxide, an aqueous liquid carrier, a pH control agent such as potassium carbonate to provide a relatively alkaline product, and an acrylic copolymer thickener such as Acusol™ 820.
