Monoglycosides as viscosity modifiers in detergents

A liquid detergent composition comprising:

• (a) from about 5% to about 30% by weight of an anionic surfactant;
• (b) from about 1% to about 5% by weight of a monoglycoside containing 8 to 30 carbons in the hydrophobic moiety;
• (c) about 2% by weight of ammonium chloride;
• and
• (d) from about 30% to about 95% by weight of water, and wherein
• (e) the content, if any, of glycoside compounds having a degree of polymerization, D.P. of 2 or more within said composition is such that the average D.P. of all glycoside compounds within said composition is less than 1.4 and (ii) the pH of said composition is from 5 to 5.5.
