Definitions

• the present invention relates to a cleaning formulation, more particularly, to a neutral cleaning formulation comprising natural extracts which do not present a risk to the health of users or to the environment.
• the present invention therefore pertains to the sector of the chemical industry and, particularly, to the cleaning and disinfection product industry.
• Said formulation comprises non-ionic surfactants and a series of additives conferring to said formulation a neutral character.
• cleaner compositions used in various industrial and domestic fields comprise chemical substances that are toxic to the health of the user, causing eye lesions and skin irritations. This combined with society's growing interest in respecting the environment and sustainability has led to industries manufacturing compositions for cleaning different types of materials face the need to develop biodegradable chemical products in order to eliminate any generation of chemical waste so as to have zero impact on the ecosystem.
• patent CN103608445A describes a biodegradable cleaning formulation comprising biodegradable abrasive particles.
• compositions are biodegradable, both patent documents mentioned show abrasive nanoparticles or particles, therefore, they may cause irritations in the user.
• compositions that have a more ecological profile, in other words, that use more ecological ingredients, reduce the number of ingredients, reduce the application quantity necessary to achieve proper cleaning and are more effective than the current compositions.
• said compositions must be free of hazards for users and show proven efficacies that are equal to or better than other products currently existing on the market.
• the present document describes an improved cleaner formulation with respect to the cleaning compositions used at present in the industry of cleaning products and detergents with highly advantageous features.
• Said formulation comprises natural extracts which do not present risks to health or to the environment and are biodegradable, with high-quality products being obtained.
• Said formulation is characterised by having a pH equal to 7.
• the present document refers to the object of the present invention as a neutral cleaning formulation or neutral cleaner formulation interchangeably.

• the cleaner formulation comprises non-ionic surfactants that can be selected from the group consisting of fatty alcohol ethoxylate, alkyl polyglycoside (APG), amine oxide and any combination thereof.
• the non-ionic surfactants comprised in the formulation object of the invention are foam enhancers and stabilisers with broad effectiveness in formulations for detergency.
• the non-ionic surfactant that can be comprised in the present invention is alkyl polyglycoside (APG) having a low colour which offers excellent detergency and treatment benefits in a wide range of areas in the cleaning industry.
• APG is 100 % biodegradable and presents excellent compatibility with the skin and mucous membranes given that APG has high wettability and is furthermore a non-irritant product.
• the formulation object of the invention comprises APG
• said surfactant cannot be comprised in a quantity greater than 1.05 % by weight with respect to the total weight of the cleaner formulation.
• the quantity of APG is comprised between 0.75 % and 1.05 % by weight with respect to the total weight of the formulation.
• the quantity of APG is comprised between 0.8 % and 1.0 % by weight with respect to the total weight of the formulation.
