Abstract
Lower alkyl glycosides are added to aqueous liquid detergents to reduce their viscosity and to prevent phase separation. The glycosides are represented by the formula R--O--(G).sub.n where "R" is a lower alkyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, "O" is an oxygen atom, "G" is a saccharide unit, and "n" is a number from 1 to 10. The glycosides comprise about 1 to 10 weight percent of the detergents.
