An aqueous based solvent free degreaser composition comprising a nonionic surfactant component, wherein said nonionic surfactant component consists of two nonionic surfactants, wherein the first nonionic surfactant is:

• 0.15%-5% of an alcohol alkoxylate with a fatty alcohol moiety having the Formula:
• wherein R is a C8 to C18 branched or straight chain alkyl group;
• the sum of n plus o is from 4 to 12, the sum of m plus p is from 4 to 14;
• R′ is —CH3, —CH2CH3, or mixtures thereof;
• R″ is —CH3, —CH2CH3, or mixtures thereof;
• and R′″ is —OH, —OCH3, —O-C3-C18 hydroxyalkyl group;
• and the second nonionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of:
• (1) 0.15%-5% of a nonionic surfactant characterized as a block or heteric/block polyoxyalkylene having a cloud point in a 1 weight percent aqueous solution of about 15° C. to about 25° C. having the Formula I:
• Y[(EO/A)m(A)nH]x (I)
• wherein Y represents the nucleus of an active hydrogen-containing organic compound having a functionality of x and (1) about 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 3 reactive hydrogen atoms or (2) about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms and 1 to 3 reactive hydrogen atoms;
• A represents a lower alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of propylene oxide, butylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, and mixtures thereof wherein up to 25 percent by weight of A is reacted directly with said organic compound in admixture with ethylene oxide in Formula I and 75 percent by weight or more of A is subsequently reacted to produce said polymer;
• m is within the range of about 0 to 110, and n is within the range of about 0 to 26, wherein further, the molecular weight range is from about 1,000 to 20,000;
• (2) 0.15%-5% of a nonionic surfactant characterized as a block or heteric/block polyoxyalkylene having a cloud point in a 1 weight percent aqueous solution of about 15° C. to about 25° C. having the Formula II:
• Y[(A)o(EO)m(A)nH]x (II)

• A represents a lower alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of propylene oxide, butylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, and mixtures thereof wherein up to 25 percent by weight of A is reacted directly with said organic compound alone in Formula II and 75 percent by weight of A is subsequently reacted to produce said polymer;
• o is within the range of about 0 to 26, m is within the range of about 0 to 110, and n is within the range of about 0 to 26, wherein further, the molecular weight range is from about 1,000 to 20,000;
• and
• (3) 0.15%-5% of a nonionic surfactant characterized as a block or heteric/block polyoxyalkylene having a cloud point in a 1 weight percent aqueous solution of about 15° C. to about 25° C. having the Formula III:
• Y[(A)o(EO/A)m(A)nH]x (III)
• wherein Y represents the nucleus of an active hydrogen-containing organic compound having a functionality of x and (1) about 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and 2 to 3 reactive hydrogen atoms or (2) about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms and 1 to 3 reactive hydrogen atoms;
• A represents a lower alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of propylene oxide, butylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, and mixtures thereof wherein up to 25 percent by weight of A is reacted directly with said organic compound alone in Formula III and 75 percent by weight or more of A is subsequently reacted to produce said polymer;
• o is within the range of about 0 to 26, m is within the range of about 0 to 110, and n is within the range of about 0 to 26, wherein further, the molecular weight range is from about 1,000 to 20,000.
