Abstract
A soft surface cleaning composition and method for effectively removing oxidizable and non-oxidizable stains without bleaching out the color of the soft surface. Comprising from about 0.2% to about 7.0% by weight of hydrogen peroxide, from about 0.5% to about 4.0% by weight of ethylene glycol n-hexyl ether, from about 0.2% to about 6.0% by weight of a surfactant and the balance water has a cloud point of at least 10.degree. C. remains a single phase at a temperature of about 20.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. and dries to a non-tacky residue.
Claims30
An aqueous soft surface cleaning composition comprising:
- (a) from about 0.5% to about 7.0% by weight of hydrogen peroxide;
- (b) from about 0.5% to about 4.0% by weight of ethylene glycol n-hexyl ether;
- (c) from about 0.2% to about 6.0% by weight of a surfactant;
- and
- (d) the balance water, wherein the composition has a cloud point of at least about 10.degree. C., remains a single phase at a temperature of about 20.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. and forms a non-tacky residue upon drying.
A method of cleaning a soft surface, comprising the steps off:
- (a) applying an effective amount of a cleaning composition to a softed or stained soft surface, and
- (b) removing any excess cleaning composition, the cleaning composition comprising:
- (i) from about 0.5% to about 7.0% by weight of hydrogen peroxide;
- (ii) from about 0.5% to about 4.0% by weight ethylene glycol n-hexyl
- (iii) from about 0.2% to about 6.0% by weight of a surfactant;
- and
- (iv) the balance water, wherein the composition has a cloud point of at least 10.degree. C., remains a single phase at a temperature of about 20.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. and dries to a non-tacky residue
- (b) removing the cleaning composition from the soft surface.
