Patent ID: 8420586

Claim:
A cleaner composition formulated to be capable of removing one or more soils from a surface wherein the one or more soils originate from a fat and/or oil, the cleaner composition comprising: A) one or more alkalinity sources present in an amount sufficient to provide a free alkalinity (expressed as Na 2 O) of from about 0.1 wt % to about 1.0 wt %, based on the total weight of the cleaner composition, and a total alkalinity (expressed as Na 2 O) of from about 0.1 wt % to about 2.0 wt %, based on the total weight of the cleaner composition; B) from about 0.1 wt % to about 5.0 wt % of one or more chelants selected from the group consisting of glutamic acid salt and disodium ethanol diglycine based on the total weight of the cleaner composition; C) from about 0.1 wt % to about 3.0 wt % of one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of an alcohol ethoxylate, an alkyl amphoacetate, and an alkyl sulfate, based on the total weight of the cleaner composition; D) from about 0.1 wt % to about 2.0 wt % of thickening agent consisting of a polyacrylic acid in order to provide a viscosity of greater than about 300 cps; E) from about 0.01 wt % to about 5.0 wt % of buffer, based on the total weight of the cleaner composition; and F) from about 0 wt % to about 1.5 wt % of hydrotrope, based on the total weight of the cleaner composition; the remainder to 100 wt % of water, based on the total weight of the cleaner composition.
