Abstract:
A cleaning composition comprising:(a) about 0.5 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of anionic surfactant;(b) about 0.5 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a zwitterionic surfactant;(c) 0.25% to 4% of a foam control agent wherein said foam control agent is selected from the group consisting of organic monoesters, organic diesters and C.sub.8 -C.sub.12 organic diols and mixtures thereof wherein the organic monoester has the formula: ##STR8##wherein R.sub.1 is a C.sub.3 to C.sub.16, n is a number from 1 to 10, and R is selected from the group consisting of a C.sub.3 to C.sub.15, R.sub.2 R.sub.3 CH alkyl group wherein R.sub.2 is a C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alkyl group and R.sub.3 is a C.sub.4 to C.sub.12 alkyl group, and R.sub.4 R.sub.5 H alkyl group wherein R.sub.4 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group and R.sub.5 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl group and the organic diesters have the formula: ##STR9##wherein x+y is from 10 to 40, and n is a number from 2 to 20; and(d) the balance being water, wherein the composition does not contain an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant or an ethoxylated/propoxylated nonionic surfactant and the composition has a viscosity of 6 to 60 milliPascal Second as measured with a Brookfield RVT Viscometer using a #1 spindle rotating at 20 rpm.
