Improved aqueous, alkaline hard surface cleaning compositions useful in the cleaning of hard surfaces, particularly hard surfaces bearing greasy stains or soils also provide a disinfecting and/or sanitizing benefit to the treated hard surfaces. Preferred compositions comprise amine oxide as the sole surfactant constituent, an alkalinity constituent, preferably an alkanolamine and as the sole organic solvent constituent, an alkylene glycol phenyl ether, an antimicrobially active constituent, and water, optionally further including a dye and/or fragrance composition. The compositions provide excellent cleaning of greasy soils on hard surfaces and provide a disinfecting or sanitizing benefit thereto.

Alkaline hard surface cleaning composition

A highly aqueous liquid acidic hard surface treatment composition having a pH of about 3.5 or less which necessarily comprises: The highly aqueous liquid acidic hard surface treatment composition may be used as such, or may be used to impregnate absorbent substrates to form wipe articles. Methods for the use of said highly aqueous liquid acidic hard surface treatment compositions, in cleaning and/or disinfection of hard surfaces are also disclosed.

Aqueous acidic hard surface cleaning and disinfecting compositions

A dilutable concentrated hard surface cleaning composition which comprises (preferably consists essentially of): a detersive nonionic surfactant based on an alcohol alkoxylate; a detersive surfactant based on glucoside surfactants; an alkanolamine; water in an amount of at least 75% wt., preferably at least about 80% wt., and optionally one or more further optional constituents, including a polyacrylate polymer, fragrances, colorants, etc. with the proviso that the compositions exclude one or more of: (a) organic acids, (b) inorganic acids, (c) organic solvents selected from glycols, glycol ethers, ether acetates, and alcohols, (d) thickeners, and (e) chelating agents based on nitrogen containing organic compounds which include a plurality of carboxylic acid groups, preferably the compositions of the invention expressly exclude two or more, preferably three or more and yet more preferably exclude four or five of (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e).
