Aqueous liquid detergent dispersions are claimed which essentially comprise
5% by weight to 35% by weight of anionic surfactant
10% by weight to 50% by weight of builders,
0% by weight to 10% by weight of electrolytes and
0.1% by weight to 10% by weight of quaternary alkylhydroxyethylammonium
salt, where the % by weight ratio of anionic surfactant to quaternary alkylhydroxyethylammonium
salt is 50:1 to 2:1.
