Abstract

An aerosol foam cleaning composition for carpets and other soft-furnishings is provided. It has a volatile hydrocarbon propellant, a surfactant, a foam stabilizer polymer, a stain repellent fluorocarbon, an amine oxide foam booster, and water. The foam does not release hydrocarbon propellant at such a rate so as to create flammability problems, yet provides adequate residual stain repellent.
