A composition for use in a laundry pouch comprises four primary surfactants, a secondary surfactant, and three enzymes. The primary surfactants may be two anionic surfactants and two nonionic surfactants. The secondary surfactant may be nonionic. The composition may be used in a pouch or added as a liquid detergent to a laundry wash. The composition may include chelators, color, fragrance, solvents, surfactant boosters, whiteners and other ingredients.
