1. Liquid cleaning compositions comprising:

  • a) as part of the surfactant system, from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of a mid-chain branched surfactant substantially free from geminally-substituted branching selected from the group consisting of surfactants having the formula;

    ##STR46## wherein;

    (i) one or more C1 -C3 alkyl moieties branch from the longest linear carbon chain at one or more positions encompassed by the indicated branching range; and

    (ii) B is a hydrophilic moiety selected from sulfates and alkoxylated sulfates;

    b) as the other part of the surfactant system, from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of one or more co-surfactants;

    c) from about 1% to about 99.7% by weight of solvent; and

    d) from about 0.1% to about 75% by weight of liquid cleaning composition adjunct ingredients.
