Abstract
Disclosed herein are hard surface cleaners which provide improved fragrance retention properties to the treated hard surface, and methods for using them. The cleaners include a fragrance, a carrier, and a surfactant selected from ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymers, polyglycosides, ethoxylated alkyl alcohols, and ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers functionalized with a fatty alcohol moiety. The cleaner may also contain water and a base.

A hard surface cleaner capable of providing increased fragrance retention properties to hard surfaces that have been treated with the cleaner, the cleaner comprising:
- a surfactant mixture comprising an alkyl polyglycoside having the formula RO—Zn, wherein R is an alkyl group having 8 to 14 carbon atoms, Z is a glucose moiety, and n is a number having an average value of about 2.5 and an ethoxylated mixed C13 and C15 alcohol with from 3 to 10 ethylene oxide units, the surfactant mixture being from 0.5% w/v to 20% w/v of the cleaner;
- a fragrance;
- and
- a carrier.
