Patent ID: 7618931

Claim:
A natural heavy duty cleaning composition consisting essentially of: a. an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium alkyl α-sulfomethyl ester, and combinations thereof; b. a hydrophilic syndetic selected from the group consisting of C 6 alkyl polyglucoside, C 6 to C 8 alkyl polyglucoside, C 8 alkyl polyglucoside and combinations thereof; c. a hydrophobic syndetic selected from an amine oxide; d. a solvent selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, ethanol, sorbitol, glycerol and combinations thereof; e. an organic chelating agent selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyacids, 2-hydroxyacid derivatives, glutamic acid, glutamic acid derivatives, and mixtures thereof; f. optionally a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl polyglucosides having chain lengths greater than C 8 , and combinations thereof; and g. optional ingredients selected from pH adjusting agents, builders, calcium salts, boric acid or borate, enzymes, dyes, colorants, fragrances, preservatives, fluorescent whitening agents, bluing agents, defoamers, bleaches, thickeners anti-redeposition polymers and combinations thereof; wherein the ratio of the total syndetics:total base surfactant is between 0.001 to 1.0.
