Claim 1

A DETERGENT COMPOSITION CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A SYNERGISTIC MIXTURE OF DETERGENT A AND DETERGENT B WHEREIN DETERGENT A IS A MIXTURE OF FROM ABOUT 30% TO ABOUT 70% OF COMPONENT A, FROM ABOUT 20% TO ABOUT 70% OF COMPONENT B AND FROM ABOUT 20% TO ABOUT 15% OF COMPONENT C, WHEREIN: (A) SID COMPONENT A IS A MIXTURE OF DOUBLE-BOND POSITIONAL ISOMERS OF WATER-SOLUBLE SALTS OF ALKENE-1SULFONIC ACIDS CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 12 TO ABOUT 16 CARBON ATOMS, SAID MIXTURE OF POSITIONAL ISOMERS INCLUDING ABOUT 10% TO ABOUT 25% OF AN ALPHA-BETA UNSATURATED ISOMER, ABOUT 30% TO ABOUT 70% OF A BETA-GAMMA UNSATURATED ISOMER, ABOUT 5% TO ABOUT 25% OF A GAMMA-DELTA UNSATURATED ISOMER, AND ABOUT 5% TO ABOUT 10% OF A DELTA-EPSILON UNSATURATED ISOMER; (B) SAID COMPONENT B IS A MIXTURE OF WATER-SOLUBLE SALTS OF BIFUNCTIONALLY-SUBSTITUTED SULFUR-CONTAINING SATURATED ALIPHATIC COMPOUNDS CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 12 TO ABOUT 16 CARBON ATOMS, THE FUNCTIONAL UNITS BEING HYDROXY AND SULFONATE RADICALS WITH THE SULFONATE RADICAL ALWAYS BEING ON THE TERMINAL CARBON AND THE HYDROXYL RADICAL BEING ATTACHED TO A CARBON ATOM AT LEAST TWO CARBON ATOMS REMOVED FROM THE TERMINAL CARBON ATOM AT LEAST 90% OF THE HYDROXYL RADICAL SUBSTITUTION BEING IN THE 3, 4 AND 5 POSITIONS; (C) SAID COMPONENT C IS A MIXTURE CONTAINING FROM 30-95% WATER-SOLUBLE SALTS OF ALKENE DISFULFONATE CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 12 TO ABOUT 16 CARBON ATOMS, AND FROM ABOUT 5% TO ABOUT 70% WATER-SOLUBLE SALTS OF HYDROXY DISULFONATES CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 12 TO ABOUT 16 CARBON ATOMS, SAID ALKENE DISULFONATES CONTAINING A SULFONATE GROUP ATTACHED TO A TERMINAL CARBON ATOM AND A SECOND SULFONATE GROUP ATTACHED TO AN INTERNAL CARBON ATOMS NOT MORE THAN ABOUT SIX CARBON ATOMS REMOVED FROM SAID TERMINAL CARBON ATOM, THE ALKENE DOUBLE BOND BEING DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN THE TERMINAL CARBON ATOM AND ABOUT THE SEVENTH CARBON ATOM, SAID HYDROXY DISULFONATES BEING SATURATED ALIPHATIC COMPOUNDS HAVING A SULFONATE RADICAL ATTACHED TO A TERMINAL CARBON, A SECOND SULFONATE GROUP ATTACHED TO AN INTERNAL CARBON ATOM NOT MORE THAN ABOUT SIX CARBON ATOMS REMOVED FROM SAID TERMINAL CARBON ATOM, AND A HYDROXY GROUP ATTACHED TO A CARBON ATOM WHICH IS NOT MORE THAN ABOUT FOUR CARBON ATOMS REMOVED FROM THE SITE OF ATTACHMENT OF SAID SECOND SULFONATE GROUP; AND WHEREIN DETERGENT B IS A COMPOUND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF: (1) ZWITTERIONIC QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS HAVING THE FORMULA
