Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cleaning compositions. Although the present invention applies primarily to hard surface cleaning compositions, it may also be of interest for other cleaning compositions including dishwashing and laundry detergent compositions.
  • compositions which can be used in diluted form are known in the art.
  • the technical problem lies in sustaining upon dilution an efficient cleaning performance.
  • Such compositions for dilute cleaning are described for instance in the European Patent EP-A- 0 503 219.
  • the dilute cleaning performance is obtained by using alkanolamines.
  • This '219 patent application also mentions the use of nonionic surfactants among which ethoxylated fatty alcohols are listed.
