Detergent compositions containing mixtures of crystallinity-disrupted surfactants

A cleaning composition comprising:

• a) 0.1% to 99.9% by weight of said composition of an alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system comprising from 10% to 100% by weight of said surfactant system of two or more crystallinity-disrupted alkylarylsulfonate surfactants of formula:
• (B-Ar-D)a(Mq+)b
• wherein D is SO3—, M is a cation or cation mixture, q is the valence of said cation, a and b are numbers selected such that said composition is electroneutral;
• Ar is selected from benzene, toluene, and combinations thereof;
• and B comprises the sum of at least one primary hydrocarbyl moiety containing from 5 to 20 carbon atoms and one or more crystallinity-disrupting moieties wherein said crystallinity-disrupting moieties interrupt or branch from said hydrocarbyl moiety;
• and wherein
• said alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system has crystallinity disruption to the extent that its Sodium Critical Solubility Temperature, as measured by the CST Test, is no more than 40° C.;
• and
• wherein further said alkylarylsulfonate surfactant system has at least one of the following properties:
• percentage biodegradation, as measured by the modified SCAS test, that exceeds tetrapropylene benzene sulfonate;
• and
• weight ratio of nonquaternary to quaternary carbon atoms in B of at least 5:1;
• and
• b) from 0.00001% to 99.9% by weight of said composition of cleaning composition adjunct ingredients, at least one of which is selected from the group consisting of:
• i) detersive enzymes;
• ii) organic detergent builders;
• iii) oxygen bleaching agent;
• iv) bleach activators;
• v) transition metal bleach catalysts;
• vi) oxygen transfer agents and precursors;
• vii) polymeric soil release agents;
• viii) water-soluble ethoxylated amines having clay soil removal and antiredeposition properties;
• ix) polymeric dispersing agents;
• x) polymeric dye transfer inhibiting agents;
• xi) alkoxylated polycarboxylates;
• and xii) mixtures thereof.
