What are proposed are aqueous surfactant compositions comprising one or more of each of alpha-sulfo fatty acid disalts, sulfo ketones, alkyl (ether) sulfates, soaps, inorganic salts of sulfuric acid and water, where the structures of the compounds mentioned and boundary conditions that are to be observed can be found in the patent claims. These compositions have good foaming ability and pleasant sensory properties of the foam and good skin compatibility and they are suitable for cosmetic agents as well as detergents and cleaner.

The present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition for textile products containing the following component (A) in an amount of 10% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less, the following component (B), and water: component (A): an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 or more and 16 or less carbon atoms, wherein the mass ratio of an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 or more and 16 or less carbon atoms with the sulfonate group at position 2 or higher and position 4 or lower (IO-1S) to an internal olefin sulfonate having 14 or more and 16 or less carbon atoms with the sulfonate group at position 5 or higher (IO-2S), (IO-1S)/(IO-2S), is 0.50 or more and 4.2 or less; and Component (B): an organic solvent having a hydroxy group.

In a process of making a liquid cleaning composition, adding a gel breaker upstream of an anionic surfactant addition in the recirculatory loop of a recirculatory batch processor mitigates the viscous hexagonal phase whilst providing maximum flexibility in formulating various ingredients in the composition.

Sanitizing and disinfecting compositions with relatively low levels of free available chlorine, with good effectiveness against microbes, included in a burstable pouch of a system also including a plurality of initially undosed (e.g., dry) wipes in a resealable package thereof. The composition may include less than 0.5% by weight hypochlorite or other free available chlorine level, with a pH less than 12. The composition is long term stable in the pouch, but upon bursting of the pouch and dosing of the wipes, exhibits only short-term stability. Because of the low level of hypochlorite, the dosed wipes exhibit improved surface compatibility and negligible “bleach” odor, while providing at least a 3-log reduction in C. diff population within 10 minutes.

The need for a liquid detergent composition suitable for washing dishes, fitting both in-sink as well as direct application habits, which provides reduced smearing when used in direct application dishwashing methods, while having good suds mileage especially under in-sink application habit, and good viscosity, is met by formulating the liquid detergent composition to comprise a surfactant system, which comprises an alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant comprising C13 alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant, the C13 alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant comprising a specific fraction of 2-branched C13 alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant, with a specific distribution of the 2-branching.
