Abstract

A liquid detergent composition for household use is disclosed. It comprises, as essential components, (A) 0.01-1.0% by weight of an anionic surface active agent, (B) 0.01-1.0% by weight of a terpene-type hydrocarbon solvent selected from monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, and (C) 0.001-0.1% by weight of a water-soluble divalent metallic salt. The composition has superior detergency, exhibits a minimum adverse effect on surfaces which it contacts and a high degree of safety when in contact with the human body, and does not require rinsing.
