The invention meets the needs above by providing a surfactant system, mixture or blend that can be used as a part of a soaking composition. The surfactant system is capable of forming emulsions with, and thus removing, oily and greasy stains. In a preferred embodiment the surfactant compositions of the invention can remove non-trans fat and fatty acid stains. The invention involves foaming soaking compositions that have some or part of the anionic surfactant present in the same replaced with an extended chain anionic surfactant.

A liquid laundry detergent composition capable of suspending particles and insoluble materials while remaining readily pourable. The composition is stable over long periods of time. In one aspect, the liquid laundry detergent comprises in an aqueous medium: a) at least one nonethoxylated anionic surfactant; b) at least one ethoxylated anionic surfactant; c) at least one nonionic fatty alcohol ethoxylate surfactant; d) an optional surfactant selected from a nonionic surfactant other than c), a cationic surfactant, an ampholytic surfactant, and mixtures thereof; and e) a nonionic, amphiphilic, emulsion polymer.

Provided are: a novel compound that has excellent activity of dissolving a silicone compound and thereby solubilizing the silicone compound in an organic solvent; and a cleaner that contains the compound and can completely and rapidly remove the silicone compound deposited/remained on a mold and/or a molded article obtained using the mold. The novel compound is represented by Formula (1). The silicone-dissolvative cleaner contains (A) a silicone surfactant represented by Formula (1); and (B) an organic solvent. Formula (1) is expressed as follows:

##STR00001##

wherein A represents an ionic group selected from the group consisting of a sulfonic ion, a carboxylic ion, and a quaternary ammonium cation; and B represents a counter-ion to A and is selected from an alkali metal ion and a halide ion.
