Abstract
Disclosed are cleaning compositions and methods for cleaning fabrics to which stains are adhered. The cleaning composition contains a surfactant system comprising one or more anionic surfactants, a cleaning enzyme, and an organic acidulant having a calculated stability constant for Ca2+ ions of less than about 1.5 at a pH of about 4. The cleaning composition has a neat pH of from about 2 to about 6.
Claims12
A liquid cleaning composition comprising:
- a) from about 10% to about 45%, by weight of the liquid cleaning composition, of a surfactant system comprising from about 35% to about 97%, by weight of the surfactant system, of one or more anionic surfactants;
- b) from about 0.0001% to about 5%, by weight of the liquid cleaning composition, of a cleaning enzyme;
- and
- c) from about 2% to about 20%, by weight of the liquid cleaning composition, of an organic acidulant, wherein organic acidulant comprises lactic acid, citric acid in combination with lactic acid, acetic acid, or mixtures thereof;
- wherein the cleaning composition has a neat pH of from about 2 to about 6.

A method for treating fabric comprising:
- A) providing a fabric to which stains are adhered, and
- B) contacting said fabrics with a wash solution comprising:
- i) water;
- and
- ii) a cleaning composition comprising:
- a) from about 10% to about 60%, by weight of the liquid cleaning composition, of a surfactant system comprising:
- from about 20% to about 97%, by weight of the surfactant system, of one or more anionic surfactants,
- b) from about 0.0001% to about 5%, by weight of the liquid cleaning composition, of a cleaning enzyme, and
- c) from about 2% to about 20%, by weight of the liquid cleaning composition, of an organic acidulant, wherein organic acidulant comprises lactic acid, citric acid in combination with lactic acid, acetic acid, or mixtures thereof,
- wherein the cleaning composition has a neat pH of from about 2 to about 6.
