Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020160996A1] The invention provides a liquid laundry detergent composition for improved removal of microorganisms (e.g. Staphylococcus species) from fabrics, the composition comprising: a) from 5 to 11.5% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of anionic surfactants selected from linear alkylbenzene sulfonates and mixtures thereof with alkyl ether sulfate; b) from 1 to 5% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of nonionic surfactants selected from aliphatic alcohol ethoxylates; c) from 2.75 to 15% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of polymeric cleaning boosters selected from soil release polymers and mixtures thereof with antiredeposition polymers; d) from 0.25 to 2% of transition metal ion sequestrants; in which the total amount of anionic surfactants (a) + nonionic surfactants (b) ranges from 8 to 15% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition); and in which the weight ratio of anionic surfactants (a) to nonionic surfactants (b) ranges from 3:1 to 12:1.
