Antimocrobial liquid detergent composition

A liquid hand dishwashing composition comprising:

• from about 5% to about 50% by weight of the total composition of a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system comprises:
• a) from about 60% by weight of the surfactant system of anionic surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant comprises at least about 50% by weight of the anionic surfactant of alkyl sulfated anionic surfactant, wherein the alkyl sulfated anionic surfactant has an average degree of alkoxylation of less than about 0.1;
• and
• b) from about 15% by weight of the surfactant system of the co-surfactant, wherein the co-surfactant is selected from the group consisting of:
• amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof;
• wherein:
• the anionic surfactant and the co-surfactant are present in a weight ratio of from about 2:1 to about 8:1,
• the composition further comprises a carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof, wherein the carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof comprises lactic acid and/or a salt thereof;
• and
• the composition has a pH of less than about 5.0, measured as an about 10% solution in demineralized water at about 20° C.
