Mixed surfactant systems for low foam applications

摘要

Machine dishwashing detergents are disclosed containing a compatible mixture of a low-foaming nonionic surfactant and a high- foaming nonionic surfactant. Dishes and other utensils are cleaned to a sparkling clean spot-free condition by the machine washing detergent composition of the present invention. The machine dishwashing detergent compositions of the present invention are effective especially in controlling foam encountered upon washing dishes and other utensils encrusted with soils generally encountered on dishes, specifically egg and milk-derived protein soils.
