Because the sarcosinates have the ability to raise the cloud point of nonionic surfactants, this feature can be used to advantage in the formulation of dishwasher rinse aids. At the cloud point and up to 15C above it, foam generation is reduced and detergency is enhanced. By adjusting the cloud point of the formula to the use temperature, one can take full advantage of this performance feature. 

Nonionic surfactants are also used in substantial amounts in laundry detergents and in automatic dishwashing detergents, both applications reflecting in particular their generally lower sudsing characteristics than the anionics. Commercially important examples uf the nonionics include the alkyl ethoxylates, the ethoxylated alkyl phenols, the fatly acid ethanol amides, and complex polymers of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and alcohols. 

On a truly commercial scale, the age of liquid detergents can be said to have begun in the late 1940s when the first liquid detergent for manual dishwashing was introduced. This liquid consisted essentially of a nonionic surfactant, alkylphenol ethoxylate. It produced only a moderate amount of foam when in use.

The inside surface of the dishwasher becomes covered with residue over time. These residues include lime scale, soap scum, and food deposits. The removal of lime scale from the dishwasher has been the main concern of patent inventions, because lime scale residues deposit on the heating elements and reduce the overall heat exchange of the systems. However, soap scum and food deposits have also been seen as a problem because these can redeposit on the dishes as well as reduce the effectiveness of the detergent. In 2006, Binder obtained a patent that reportedly targets all three types of deposits left in the dishwasher. The detergent tablet contains 10-75% of a limescale remover acid, 11-20% nonionic surfactant, and from 0 to —5% of a detergency enzyme.
