Abstract
Detergent compositions comprise from 0.05 to 2 percent by weight of methyl cellulose ether having a solution viscosity measured at a temperature of 20.degree. C. as a 2 wt % aqueous solution of from 80 to 120 centipoise and an average degree of methyl substitution per anhydroglucose of from about 1.6 to about 2.3, from 25 to 65 percent by weight of detergent surfactant, from 0 to 20 percent by weight of bleaching component, and from 30 to 70 percent by weight of builder and alkaline material. The compositions may be used in a method of washing polyester fabric in cold water.
