Technical field m e invention rela~es to a hard surface cleaning composition which provides at the same time good cleaning performance and good shine. The compositions of ~he invention are especially suitable ~or use as a spray cleaning composition.

~q~

Hard surface cleaning compositions are well known in ~he art and their cleaning performances have been well improved over the years. ~hile focusing on cleaning performances, a ne~ pro~lem has been encountered in that good shine results were not obtained with these compositions, unles~ the surface which had been cleaned had also been rinsed afterwards, i.e., that good shine per~ormance was incompatible wi~h good cleaning per~ormance, in a non rinse-~ype hard surfac~ clean~r~ Indeed, when used, most :.' . , ' .
.
, . . , - , , ~ . . .

compositions leave str~aking traces and/or a residual film on the cleaned surfaces which, as a consequence, do not have a good appearance.

Such problem is particularly a nuisance when the hard surface cleaner is used to clean windows or mirrors, because the residual film i5 even more apparent.

As far as windows are concerned, compositions have be~n formulated which yield "volatile" cleaners, which deal efficiently with this problem; such composi~ions, however, may not be used to clean all surfaces because they often contain solvents which tend to dissolve some materials.
Additio~ally, these compositions have other negatives such as inflam~ability and noxious odor.

US Patent 3,591,510 discloses hard surface cleaners which contain surfactants possibly in the form of their ammonium salt, a solvent mi~ture, and a water soluble builder.

US Patent 3,591,509 discloses compositions containing surfactants possibly present in the form of their ammonium salt, a solvent mixture, a water soluble builder and a water soluble carboxymethylcellulose.

British Patent 2160 887 discloses a composition containing an anionic surfactant, water soluble and water insoluble alcohols and an organic solvent.

Japanese Patent Publication 6203499~ discloses compositions containing an anionic surfactant salt, a water soluble solvent, sodium or potassium hydroxide, and monoethanolamine.

Japanese :Patent Publication 58101198 discloses compositions containing alkanolamine, a mixture of anionic and nonionic surfactant and polypropylene glycol.

It is an object of the present invention to provide liquid, hard surface cleaning compositions which have good cleaning performance as well as good shine performance, i.e. which are suitable on a non-rinse use.

It is another object of the present invention to provide liquid, hard surface cleaning compositions which can be used on all surfaces, and which are especially efficient on glass.

It is still another object of the invention to provide a hard surface cleaner which is suitable for use with any dispensing means, especially with a spray dispenser.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear from the following description.

~te compositions are substantially free of monoe~hanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine or mixtures ~tereof.

Detailed description of the invention The compositions of ~te invention contain anionic surfactants ammonium salts, at a level ranging from 0.04%
to 0.6%, preferably from 0.07% to 0.45% by weight of the total composition.

The anionic surfactants for use herein include alkyl benzene sulfonates or sulfates, paraffin sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, sulfonates of fatty acids and of fatty acid esters and the like whtch are well known in the detergency art.` Also suitable are e~toxylated species such as alkyl polyethoxy sulfates and sulfosuccinates.
Preferred surfactants for use herein are C8-C18 alkyl benzene sulfonates and C8-C18 alkyl polye~toxy sulfates.
Most preferred for the working of the invention, is a mixture of C8-C18 linear alkyl benzene sulphonate and a 3 times ethoxylated C8~C18 alkyl sul~ate.

All anionic surfactants are present in the composition in tha form of their ammonium salts.

The compositions of the invention also further contain a specific solvent mixture which consists of ~rom 1% to 9%
by weight of the total composition, preferably from 8% to 9%, o~ ethanol, from 0.5% to 3% by weight of the kotal composition, pre~erably from 1.5% to 2%, of n-butoxypropanol, and from 0.5% to 3% by weight of the total composition, preferably from 1.5% to 2%, of a primary or secondary monoalcohol having a C5 alkyl unsubstituted linear or branched chain, or mixt~lres thereof.

This definition comprises l-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, neopentyl alcohol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, and isoamyl alcohol.

Preferably, this alcohol is selected from 2-pentanol, n-pentanol, and isoamylalcohol. Highly preferred for use in the present compositions is 2-pentanol.

Importantly, the tertiary alcohol according to this formula (tertiary amyl alcohol) is not suitable for use in the compositions of the invention.

m e solvent system of the present invention may additionally comprise n-propoxypropanol, up to 3~ by weight of the total composition.

The composition o~ the invention preferably contains ammonia, in amounts up to 0.5% by weight of the total composition.
Depending on presence of ammonia, the compositions of the invention have a pH which is in the range of ~rom 9 to 11 :. . : , : .

The compositions of the invention are substantially free of monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine and mixtures thereof.

The compositions of the invention may additionally contain very low amounts, specifically ~elow 0.2%, of builders such as nitrilotriacetates, polycarboxylates, nitrates, water soluble phosphates, silicates, ethylene diamine tetraacetate (EDTA), amino polyphosphonates, phospates and mixtures thereof.

The compositions of the invention are obtained by mixing all the ingredients together; the hard surface clean rs thus obtained are suitable for use in any dispensing means currently used in this technological field, but preferably, they will be used as spray cleaners.
