1. A liquid unit dose comprising a water-soluble packet and a liquid detergent composition encased within the packet, wherein the liquid detergent composition comprises:
- a) from about 5% to about 80% by weight of surfactant;
b) from about 1% to about 15% by weight of non-aqueous solvent;
c) less than about 10% by weight of water;
d) an unneutralized fatty acid; and
e) a fatty acid soap;
wherein the molar ratio of the unneutralized fatty acid to the fatty acid soap is from about 5;
1 to about 1;

Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid unit dose comprising a water-soluble packet and a liquid encased within the packet, the liquid being a detergent composition comprising:
- from 5% to 80% by weight of surfactant;
- from 1% to 15% by weight of non-aqueous solvent;
- less than 10% by weight of water;
- wherein the liquid detergent composition comprises fatty acid and further comprises fatty acid soap, wherein the molar ratio of fatty acid to fatty acid soap is from 5:1 to 1:5, and wherein the total level of fatty acid (neutralized and unneutralized) is from 20% to 50% by weight of the liquid composition.
