In addition to the performance advantages for a high LAS-to-AES ratio, there are economic and formulation advantages. Generally LAS is less expensive than AES on the commercial market. Not surprisingly, the formulations of many commercial dishwashing liquids follow a similar high LAS-to-AES ratio. 

Another way to achieve high detergency performance while keeping environmental impacts low is by making intelligent products with built-in sensor functions. In these applications, the products can respond to external stimuli and fulfil their task. The inherent sensoric principles of two recent innovations, detergent tablets and dishwashing tablets with built-in rinse aid, will be discussed. 

Unlike sodium LAS, alcohol ether sulfates are more tolerant to hardness ions and as a result do not require an accompanying high level of builder in the formulation. Figure 8.11 shows the relative insensitivity of AEOS to hardness ions. Small amounts of AEOS when added to LAS were found to improve the interfacial properties. They are more compatible with enzymes, which can also reduce the cost of enzyme stabilizers in the formulation. They are also milder to the skin and, as a result, are frequently used in hand dishwashing applications. The superior detergency performance of this surfactant is demonstrated by its superior efficacy in most stain categories.

Adequate knee space under counter surfaces is important for people who need to sit while performing kitchen tasks. The space should allow them to pull up under the counter for work areas, sinks, and cook tops. Knee room should be provided beside appliances such as ranges, ovens, and dishwashers. Knee spaces should be at least 30 in wide, 27 in high, and 19 in deep. A width of at least 36 in is preferred because this provides additional turning space, which is especially important in small kitchens.
