Claims20
A hard surface detergent composition comprising:
- (a) from about 1% to about 15% of nonionic detergent surfactant;
- (b) from about 0.5% to about 15% of hydrophobic solvent that provides a cleaning function;
- (c) suds control system comprising from about 0.01% to about 0.3% fatty acid and from about 0.1% to about 3.5% sulfonated and/or sulfated synthetic anionic detergent surfactant the ratio of nonionic detergent surfactant to fatty acid being from about 10:1 to about 120:1 and the level of said sulfonated and/or sulfated synthetic detergent surfactant to fatty acid being from about 15:1 to about 5:1;
- and (d) the balance being an aqueous solvent system and minor ingredients, the pH of said composition being from about 6.0 to about 12.5.
