Abstract
A unit dose detergent pack includes a pouch formed from a water-soluble film and a liquid detergent composition releasably disposed within the pouch. The liquid detergent composition includes at least two surfactants including from about 3 to about 20% by weight of alkyl polyglycoside and from about 15 to about 70% by weight of an additional surfactant, from about 13 to about 34% by weight of a fatty acid thereof, and less than about 30% by weight of water, with all weight percents based on a total weight of the liquid detergent composition.
Claims8
A liquid detergent composition comprising:
- from about 9 to about 15% by weight of an alkyl polyglycoside based on a total weight of said liquid detergent composition, and
- from about 15 to about 30% by weight of a synthetic alcohol ethoxylate based on a total weight of said liquid detergent composition;
- from about 18 to about 24% by weight of a fatty acid based on a total weight of said liquid detergent composition with said fatty acid having the formula R3COOH wherein R3 is a primary or secondary alkyl group having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms and/or having the formula R3COOM wherein R3 is a primary or secondary alkyl group having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms and M is a cation chosen from Na+, a hydroxyethylammonium ion, and combinations thereof;
- and
- from about 10 to about 20% by weight of water based on a total weight of said liquid detergent composition,
- wherein the liquid detergent composition is free from anionic surfactant,
- wherein viscosity of the detergent composition when diluted 2:1 with water is lower than 1000 cps at a shear rate of 1/s at 25° C.
