Abstract:
An aqueous liquid cleaning composition, the composition being free of anionic surfactants and comprising a nonionic surfactant system consisting essentially of:(a) from about 0.1-10% by weight based on the weight of the composition of a linear alcohol ethoxylate having an average carbon chain length of no more than about 12 carbon atoms and from about 4-12 moles of ethoxylation per mole of alcohol; (b) from about 0.05-25% by weight of the composition of a betaine; (c) from about 0.1-5% by weight of the composition of a mono- or dialkanolamide; (d) from about 0.05 to 15% by weight of an amine oxide, the combined amount of betaine and amine oxide being from about 0.1 to 30% by weight of the composition; (e) from about 0.1-5% by weight of the composition of an quaternary ammonium compound, (f) a polyethelyne glycol di fatty ester wherein the polyethylene glycol di fatty acid ester is present in an amount of no more than about 5% by weight of the composition; and the total concentration of surfactants in the composition is no more than about 25% by weight of the composition.
