Abstract
Cleaning compositions functioning in a unique manner are described. These new compositions provide improved cleaning efficacy for all types of surfaces. In addition, in textile laundry applications these compositions provide superior cleaning efficacy for all types and colors of fabrics, as well as extending the range and types of stains and dirt that commonly can be treated by present day commercial laundry compositions.
