Abstract
Improved cleaning compositions useful in the cleaning of hard surfaces, particularly in the cleaning of glass and hard surfaces, particularly hard surfaces having a shiny or reflective character. Preferred compositions comprise amine oxide as the sole surfactant constituent, an alkanolamine, especially monoethanolamine as the sole organic solvent constituent, and water, optionally further including a dye and/or fragrance composition. The compositions provide excellent cleaning and exhibit a low streaking or non-streaking character.
Claims18
A hard surface cleaning composition particularly adapted to the cleaning of hard surfaces especially those having a shiny or reflective character which compositions comprise:
- a cleaning effective amount of an amine oxide surfactant constituent, an alkanolamine constituent, characterized in being essentially free of organic solvents, except for the essential alkanolamine constituent;
- water;
- and,
- further optionally, minor amounts of one or more constituents which improve one or more aesthetic or functional characteristics of the inventive compositions wherein:
- the said compositions exhibit minimal streaking or exhibit a high degree of retention of the original gloss of a hard surface subsequent to treatment with the composition.
A composition particularly adapted to the cleaning of hard surfaces especially those having a shiny or reflective character which compositions consist essentially of:
- 0.01%-10%, preferably 0.015% by weight of an amine oxide surfactant constituent which is present as the sole detersive surfactant present in the composition,
- 0.01-10%, preferably 0.012% by weight of an alkanolamine constituent selected from linear monoethanolamine, monopropanolamine or monobutanolamine wherein the alkanolamine constituent is the sole organic solvent constituent present in the composition;
- and,
- water,
- further optionally, minor amounts of one or more constituents which improve one or more aesthetic or functional characteristics of the inventive compositions;
- wherein the said compositions exhibit minimal streaking or are nonstreaking in character when used to clean such surfaces.
