Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9507335A2] Disclosed are mildly acidic liquid compositions for use in cleaning hard surfaces. The compositions contain from about 1 % to about 50 % of an amine oxide detergent surfactant, an aqueous carrier liquid, and an acidifying agent having a pKa of less than about 6.0. The compositions contain enough of the acidifying agent to protonate at least about 10 % of the amine oxide species within the compositions and to provide a composition pH of between about 3 and 7. These no-rinse liquid hard surface cleaning compositions have excellent cleaning properties, they do not leave a visible residue when they dry, and they cause minimal or no staining of vinyl surfaces. Also disclosed are a method for cleaning vinyl surfaces using the liquid compositions, and non-liquid compositions from which the mildly acidic liquid compositions can easily be obtained by adding an aqueous liquid.
