High foaming nonionic surfactant based liquid detergent

A high foaming light duty, liquid detergent comprising approximately by weight:

• (a) 5% to 15% of a water soluble nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of primary and secondary C.sub.8-18 alkanol condensates with 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C.sub.8-18 alkylphenol with 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C.sub.8-20 alkanol with a heteric mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide having a weight ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide from 2.5:1 to 4:1 and a total alkylene oxide content of 60% to 85% by weight and condensates of 2 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide with sorbitan mono and tri-C.sub.10-20 alkanoic add esters having an HLB of 8 to 15;
• (b) 5% to 15% of a water-soluble anionic detergent which is an ammonium or alkali metal salt of a C.sub.8-18 ethoxylated alkyl ether sulfate;
• (c) 0.5% to 10% of an alkyl metal salt of a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate sulfonate;
• (d) 0.5% to 10% of an alkaline earth metal salt of a linear alkyl benzene sulfonate;
• (e) 0.5% to 1.5% of an iodine powder which is complexed with said nonionic surfactant;
• and
• (f) the balance being water.
