Abstract
The present invention relates to a hard surface cleaning composition. There is a need for improved cleaning compositions for providing antimicrobial benefit in addition to cleaning benefit. The inventors have found that an aqueous composition comprising 0.01 to 20% by weight alkene amide; 0.01 to 20% by weight glycol ether of formula (I): R1O(R2O)nR3; where: —R1 is a linear or branched alkyl or phenyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; —R2 is ethyl or isopropyl; -n is 1, 2, 3; —R3 is hydrogen or a linear or branched alkyl or phenyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; 0.1 to 50% by weight surfactant; and at least 10% by weight water, provides significant antimicrobial benefit.
