Abstract

A detergent composition which is characterized by a faster drying rate for the cleansed substrate and which consists essentially of a cleansing proportion of a water soluble, foaming, non-cationic, organic detergent and an aluminum soap containing from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, the weight ratio of detergent to soap being from about 40:1 to 1:4. Preferred detergent compositions for cleaning hair contain an alkyl sulfate detergent in admixture with either a water soluble soap or an imidazoline detergent in an aqueous medium which further includes a waxy material such as carnauba wax. Preferred detergent compositions for cleansing natural or synthetic fibrous materials contain an anionic or nonionic detergent and a water soluble inorganic or organic builder salt in addition to the aluminum soap.
