TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a detergent composition, and more specifically, has high detergency, suppresses substrate damage to a plastic substrate such as a styrenic resin, has excellent finish on a surface to be cleaned after cleaning, and has little skin irritation. The present invention relates to a detergent composition suitable for use as a bathroom cleaner, a house cleaner and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, when the time from the contamination to the cleaning is prolonged, the contamination on the solid surface becomes difficult to clean because the adhesion to the substrate surface becomes strong. Examples of such difficult-to-clean stains include oil stains such as tar stains and soap scum stains such as bathrooms over the entire house. Usually, different cleaning agents are used as the cleaning agent for removing such dirt depending on the object to be cleaned such as glass, floor, kitchen, bathroom and the like.
[0003]
Further, as the cleaning agent used for the above-mentioned applications, a cleaning agent mainly containing an inorganic strong alkali agent, or a cleaning agent mainly containing an organic amine or a water-soluble organic solvent is known. . However, these cleaning agents have a problem in that there are not a few cleaning agents having poor finish on the surface to be cleaned and those having strong skin irritation to hand skin.
[0004]
Further, it is required that the cleaning agent not only has detergency but also does not damage equipment to be cleaned. For example, depending on the type of cleaning agent, plastics that have recently been frequently used, such as a substrate made of a styrene-based resin (such as an ABS resin) or a substrate obtained by using a styrene-based resin and another material (a metal, a glass, or the like) in combination. When the base material is washed, there is a problem that there is a possibility that these may be damaged.
[0005]
On the other hand, terpene hydrocarbons are known to have excellent detergency against oil stains. However, when the content of the terpene-based hydrocarbon in the cleaning agent is large, there is a problem that the styrene-based resin is damaged at the same time that the odor is strong and gives a discomfort to the user.
[0006]
