Patent ID: 8865635

Claim:
A method of making an aqueous-based cleaning composition containing a water-insoluble builder comprising; (a) in a first step, combining at room temperature a C10 to C16 linear fatty monohydric alcohol in an amount of about 0.05 to about 20 wt. % with a C 1 to C 4 monohydric alcohol present in an amount of about 80 to about 99.95 wt. % to provide a builder component based on 100 wt. %; (b) in a subsequent step, combining said builder component at room temperature with 1) a C 6 to C 10 alkyl glucoside surfactant, 2) at least one additional surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, and zwitterionic surfactants or mixtures thereof; 3) water; 4) at least one non-water co-solvent different from the solvents in step (a); 5) at least one pH adjuster to provide a pH in a range of 2-13; and 6) optionally, one or more adjuvants selected from the group consisting of fragrances, dyes, antibacterials and antimicrobials; wherein the composition provided is phase stable at room temperature.
