High performance low viscoelasticity foaming detergent compositions employing extended chain anionic surfactants

A method of loosening greasy soils from dishware, the method comprising:

• applying to a soiled dishware a dishware soaking composition comprising a positively charged polymer, a carrier, and an anionic surfactant comprising an extended chain anionic surfactant having the formula:
• R-[L]x-[O—CH2—CH2]y-M
• where R is a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon radical having from about 6 to 20 carbon atoms, L is a linking group wherein said linking group has greater than 5 moles of propoxylation, M is any ionic species such as carboxylates, sulfonates, sulfates, and phosphates, x is the chain length of the linking group ranging from 2-16, and y is the average degree of ethoxylation ranging from 1 to 5;
• and thereafter
• passing the dishware through a dishmachine.
