Claims14
A liquid detergent composition for fabric cleaning and fabric care comprising:
- (a) an organosilicone having the formula:
- wherein
- each R is a C1-C8 alkyl or aryl group
- X is a linking group;
- Q is selected from the group consisting of —NH2, —NH—(CH2)2—NH2, —(O—CHR2—CH2)—Z, and mixtures thereof, wherein R2 is H or C1-C3 alkyl, and Z is selected from the group consisting of —OR3, —OC(O)R3, —CO—R4—CO—OH, —SO3, —PO(OH)2, and mixtures thereof, further wherein R3 is H, C1-C26 alkyl or substituted alkyl, C6-C26 aryl or substituted aryl, C7-C26 alkylaryl or substituted alkylaryl groups R4 is —CH2— or —CH2CH2— groups;
- m is from 4 to 50,000;
- and
- k is from 1 to 25,000;
- (b) an emulsifier comprising anionic surfactant;
- (c) other laundry adjunct materials;
- and
- (d) a carrier comprising water;
- wherein the organosilicone is in the form of aqueous microemulsion having an average particle size less than about 100 nm;
- the detergent composition has a viscosity of from about 1 to about 2000 mPa*s;
- and the organosilicone has a HLB value of about 2 to about 7;
- and further wherein the composition comprises a detersive enzyme and a nitrogen-containing detersive surfactant selected from the group consisting of an amine oxide surfactant, an amine-functional detersive surfactant, and combinations thereof.
