Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods of forming a surfactant composition, the method comprising: combining a C12-14 aliphatic straight chain alcohol, and a C10 aliphatic branched chain alcohol in a single reaction vessel to provide an alcohol mixture. The C12-14 aliphatic straight chain alcohol and the C10 aliphatic branched chain alcohol may be combined in a ratio of from about 0.8:1 to 1.4:1. The alcohol mixture may be ethoxylated to provide a surfactant composition. As a measure of the detergent performance of the surfactant composition, a stained fabric subjected to a laundry wash trial with the surfactant composition may exhibit a reflectance at 460 nm that is within 5% of a reflectance observed at 460 nm on a stained fabric subjected to a laundry wash trial with a reference composition comprising a 1:1 physical mixture of ethoxylated alcohols.
