Surfactant mixtures comprising (a) a nonionic surfactant mixture present in
an amount greater than 60% by weight, based on the weight of the
surfactant mixture, the nonionic surfactant mixture comprising: (i) at
least one alk(en)yl oligoglycoside of the general formula (I),
R.sup.1 O--[G].sub.p (I)
wherein R.sup.1 represents an alk(en)yl radical having from 4 to 22 carbon
atoms, G represents a sugar radical having 5 or 6 carbon atoms and p
represents a number from 1 to 10; and (ii) at least one nonionic
surfactant of the general formula (II)
R.sup.2 O(CH.sub.2 CHRO).sub.x H (II)
wherein x represents a number of from 1 to 30, each R independently
represents a substituent selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen,
a methyl group and an ethyl group, and R.sup.2 represents a linear alkyl
radical having from 16 to 22 carbon atoms; and (b) up to 6% by weight,
based on the weight of the surfactant mixture, of one or more anionic
surfactants; are described. Additional mixtures further comprising
additional alcohol alkoxylates are also described. Solid laundry detergent
compositions comprising such surfactant mixtures are described as well.
