Claims9
A light duty liquid detergent composition consisting essentially of about 18% to 40% by weight of a mixture of at least one water-soluble salt of a sulfonate alpha olefin containing about 12 to 18 carbon atoms and at least one water-soluble salt of an ethoxylated alkyl sulfate containing an alkyl group of 10 to 18 carbon atoms and from 1 to 5 ethenoxy groups, the weight ratio of olefin sulfonate to alkyl sulfate being from about 1.4:1 to about 1.1:1, about 1.5% to about 10% by weight of an amine oxide foam booster selected from the group consisting of tertiary amine oxides having the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sub.1 is a higher alkyl group containing about 12 to 18 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are radicals selected from the group consisting of alkyl and hydroxyalkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, morpholino oxides having the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sub.1 is a higher alkyl group containing about 12 to 18 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof, and about 1% to 8% by weight of sodium allyl sulfonate in an aqueous medium.
