Abstract:
An aqueous hard surface cleaner with improved soil removal is provided and has, as components, the following: (a) either an anionic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactant, and mixtures thereof with, optionally, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, the total amount of the surfactants being; present in a cleaning effective amount; (b) at least one water-soluble or dispersible organic solvent having a vapor pressure of at least 0. 001 mm Hg at 25. degree. C. , present in a solubilizing--or dispersion--effective airmount; (c) a combination of (i) an incompletely neutralized potassium ethylenediamine--tetraacetate (EDTA) and (ii) a precipitating co-builder as chelating agents present in an amount effective to enhance soil removal in said cleaner; and (d) the remainder, water.
