Abstract:
1. A thickened liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprising: a) about 1.8% to about 20.0% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system, comprising an alkoxylated nonionic surfactant, a sulphated or sulphonated anionic surfactant; and a neutralizing co-surfactant, wherein the weight ratio of said anionic surfactant to said neutralizing co-surfactant is from about 0.7 to about 2.5 and the weight ratio of said anionic surfactant to said nonionic surfactant is from about 0.15 to about 1.0, and the weight ratio of said neutralizing co-surfactant to said nonionic surfactant is from about 0.05 to about 1.0; b) about 0.1% to about 10.0% by weight of the composition of a thickener or mixture thereof; c) about 0.05% to about 5.0% by weight of the composition of a chelant or mixture thereof; d) a solvent selected from the group consisting of ethers having from 4 to 14 carbon atoms, diethers having from 4 to 14 carbon atoms, glycols, alkoxylated glycols, alkoxylated aromatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, alkoxylated aliphatic alcohols, aliphatic alcohols, C e) water, wherein said composition has a pH from about 9.0 to about 11.0 and a viscosity from about 50 cps to about 600 cps measured at 20° C. with a AD1000 Advanced Rheometer from Atlas® with shear rate of 10 s −1 with a coned spindle of 40 mm with a cone angle of about 2° and a truncation of ±60 μm, wherein said neutralizing co-surfactant is selected from the group consisting of C 12 -C 14 amino oxide, C 12 -C 14 betaine and mixtures thereof.
