Abstract:
An aqueous low-foam hard surface finish cleaner composition, that can be used to remove soil residue from a hard surface leaving a clean shiny surface, the cleaner comprising:(a) 0.3 to 18 wt. % of an aromatic sulfonate of the formula: ##STR10## wherein R.sub.1 is a C.sub.1-12 aliphatic group, and R.sub.2 is independently H.sup.+, an alkali metal cation, NH.sub.4.sup.+, or a mono-, di- or tri-alkanol amine cation(b) an effective amount of a sulfonate ester of the formula: ##STR11## wherein each OR.sub.3 or OR.sub.4 is independently a C.sub.6-14 aliphatic group, and R.sub.2 is H.sup.+, an alkali metal cation, NH.sub.4.sup.+, or a mono-, di- or trialkanol amine cation;(c) about 0.11 to 11 wt. % of polyoxyethylene acetylene glycol surfactant; and(d) a major proportion of an aqueous diluent;wherein after application of the hard surface cleaner, the hard surface dries to a clean, spot-, streak- and film-free appearance.
