Cleaning composition for no-wax vinyl composition floor covering

A method of maintaining the high gloss of a vinyl composition floor covering having a no-wax coating comprising using as a cleaner a water diluted solution prepared from an aqueous cleaner consisting essentially of:

• (a) an aqueous emulsion acrylic terpolymer containing about 51% by weight methyl methacrylate polymerized units, 31% by weight butyl acrylate polymerized units, and 18% by weight acrylic acid polymerized units;
• (b) a mixture of 50% by weight of the reaction product of 1 mol coconut oil and 2 mols diethanolamine and 50% by weight of the reaction product of 1 mol dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid and 1 mol diethanolamine;
• the ratio of solids being 85 to 75 parts (a) to 15 to 25 parts (b);
• ethylene glycol monobutylether;
• sufficient aqueous ammonia to provide a pH of greater than about 8.3;
• and water;
• said cleaner being diluted before use to give a solution having between about 0.1 to 0.5% by weight solids and 0.1 to 1.0 part by weight ethylene monobutyl ether per 100 parts water.
