Compositions described herein are aqueous detergent compositions, preferably hard surface cleaning compositions, which contain C alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant, optional hydrophobic cleaning solvent, optional, but preferred, mono- or poly-carboxylic acid, and optional, but preferred, aqueous solvent system, the pH being from about 2 to about 5. They have excellent soap scum removal and hard water deposit removal properties and are easy to rinse. Such compositions optionally contain additional cosurfactant, preferably anionic surfactant, peroxide and/or hydrophilic polymer for additional benefits. Articles of manufacture comprising the composition and a sprayer and methods of use are also disclosed.

Acidic cleaning compositions with C10 alkyl sulfate detergent surfactant

Compositions described herein are aqueous detergent compositions, preferably hard surface cleaning compositions, which contain a flexible lamellar sheet phase dispersed in the aqueous phase. The compositions are viscous, provide excellent soap scum and hard water properties and are easy to rinse. Such compositions are formulated by using an alkylaryl detergent composition in combination with an alcohol and/or cationic surfactant, together with a hydrotropic solvent, in an acidic system further optionally comprising a peroxide.

Aqueous cleaning compositions in dispersed lamellar phase

Compositions described herein are aqueous detergent compositions, preferably hard surface cleaning compositions, which contain alkyl aryl sulfonate surfactant, selected hydrophobic cleaning solvent, polycarboxylic acid, and aqueous solvent system in solution and/or a micellar phase, the pH being from about 2 to about 4. The have excellent soap scum removal and hard water deposit removal properties and are easy to rinse. Such compositions optionally contain additional anionic sulfate surfactant, cationic surfactant, peroxide and/or hydrophilic polymer for additional benefits.
