Abstract

A clear, single phase, liquid cleaning composition particularly suitable for cleaning hard surfaces which leaves a low residue on unrinsed, cleaned surfaces consisting essentially of, by weight, 2-8% of an amine salt of an anionic sulfated or sulfonated detergent containing an alkyl radical of 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the molecule, 1-4% of water-soluble, ethyleneoxylated nonionic detergent, 2-15% of an amine salt of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 monocarboxylic acid builder, 0.1%-4% of amine, 0-2% of an amine salt of a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 carboxylic acid, 0-8% of urea and water, the weight ratio of builder to total detergent being in the range of 1:6 to 5:1 and said amine being selected from the group consisting of mono-, di- and tri-ethanol amine and etheylene diamine. Preferred compositions contain either the diethanolamine salts or the 2-aminoethylammonium salts.
