Abstract (en)

Laundry detergent compositions containing specific alcohol ethoxylate nonionic surfactants together with selected di-long chain cationic surfactants, within a narrow range of nonionic:cationic ratios, and which are either free of phosphate materials and preferably polyethylene glycol di-esters, or contain only low levels of such materials, are disclosed. These compositions are unusually effective in removing particulate soils from fabric and, additionally, provide fabric softening, static control, color fidelity, and dye transfer inhibition benefits to fabrics laundered therewith. A process for laundering fabrics, using these compositions, is also disclosed.
