Abstract

A mixture of an acid terminated non-ionic surfactant and a quaternary ammonium salt surfactant provide better detergency than equivalent amounts of either of the surfactant compounds alone. The surfactant mixture is preferably used in conjunction with liquid non-ionic surfactant in heavy duty non-aqueous laundry detergents but can also be used in aqueous liquid detergent compositions and powder detergent compositions.
