Olefin sulfonate detergent compositions

A light duty, liquid detergent consisting essentially of 10 to 35% by weight of at least one water-soluble salt of a sulfonate alpha olefin containing about 12 to 18 carbon atoms, about 7.5 to about 10% by weight of an alkanoic acid diethanolamide having 12 to 14 carbon atoms in its alkanoyl radical, the weight ratio of olefin sulfonate to said diethanolamide being from about 3:1 to about 1:1, and an aqueous medium selected from the group consisting of water and a mixture of water with a solubilizer selected from the group consisting of 1 to 10% by weight of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 monohydric alcohol, 0.5 to 10% by weight of a sodium potassium, ammonium or mono-, di- or triethanolammonium salt of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkylbenzene sulfonate or C.sub.5 -C.sub.6 alkyl sulfate, and mixtures thereof, about 1 to about 8% by weight of a water-soluble salt of allyl sulfonic acid as an anti-gelling agent, said composition containing less than 5% of the total detergent weight of additional compatible non-cationic detergents.
