2. Description of the Related Art Tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, stones, metals,
Unlike other household stains, stains attached to enamel, glass, etc. are mainly made of metal soap and calcium salts of fatty acids, so stains can be removed quickly and satisfactorily with neutral detergents and alkaline detergents. I can't. An acid detergent is effective for removing this dirt, but it has the drawback of damaging materials with poor acid resistance such as marble baths and metals.

It does not adversely affect the material in the bathroom,
A weakly acidic or neutral cleaning agent containing a surfactant, a water-soluble solvent and a chelating agent is effective for cleaning bathroom dirt. As such a detergent, for example, in JP-A-53-35710, an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, an alkylene glycol alkyl ether solvent, and a chelating agent such as citric acid and ethylenediamine tetraacetate are mixed. The bath cleaning agent having a pH of 4.5 to 7.5 is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-51500 and a neutral detergent containing a surfactant, a detergency improver comprising an aminocarboxylic acid, and a glycol solvent. Bathroom cleaners
