Abstract
Detergent compositions with excellent spotting/filming characteristics comprising nonionic detergent surfactant, preferably having a conventional hydrocarbon hydrophobic group and polyalkoxylate hydrophilic group; polyalkoxylate polycarboxylate surfactant/builder containing hydrocarbon hydrophobic group, polyalkoxylate moiety, and polyanionic moieties that are carboxyl groups except for one optional sulfate or sulfonate group; optional hydrophobic cleaning solvent and/or polycarboxylate detergent builder; and optional suds control system preferably comprising fatty acid and anionic sulfonated and/or sulfated detergent surfactant. The compositions are preferably in the form of aqueous liquids and preferably have monoethanolamine and/or beta-aminoalkanol present.
Claims24
A hard surface detergent composition with excellent spotting/filming characteristics comprising:
- film about 1% to about 30% of nonionic detergent surfactant;
- from about 1% to about 20% of polyalkoxylate polycarboxylate surfactant/builder compound comprising hydrocarbon hydrophobic group, polyalkoxylate moiety, and multiple anionic groups which comprise carboxylate groups, except for one optional sulfonate or sulfate group;
- optional hydrophobic cleaning solvent that provides a cleaning function at a level of from about 1% to about 6%, when present;
- optional suds control system;
- minor ingredient selected from the group consisting of color, perimite, and mixtures thereof, and, optionally, an aqueous solvent system, the pH of said composition being from about 9 to about 12.5.
