The invention is in the field of hard surface cleaning compositions. There is need for compositions that foam copiously during the washing/cleaning stage. However, during the rinse stage, the foam should rinse-off as quickly as possible in minimum number of rinses-cycles so that the process becomes sustainable. Disclosed is an aqueous cleaning composition, having a pH of 6.5 or lower, comprising (i) 3.0 to 25.0% by weight alkyl ethoxy sulphate; (ii) 1.0 to 5.0% by weight amphoteric surfactant; (iii) 0.1 to 1.0% by weight fatty acids being saturated non-hydroxy Cfatty acid and a saturated non-hydroxy Cfatty acid, where ratio of amount of said Cfatty acid to that of said Cfatty acid is from 1:0.1 to 1:10 parts by weight; and (iv) 0.5 to 5% by weight non-ionic surfactant, wherein (iii) and (iv) together an antifoaming system, and wherein amount of non-alkoxylated anionic surfactant in said composition in less than 1.0% by weight.

Dishwash composition comprising rinse-activatable antifoam

The invention is in the field of cleaning compositions. There is need for compositions that foam copiously when articles are washed. However the foam should rinse-off as quickly as possible in minimum number of rinses-cylces so that the process becomes sustainable. Disclosed is an aqueous cleaning composition comprising: (i) total Active Detergent (AD) level of 5 to 30% by weight, of which at least one-third is non-soap anionic surfactant; and, (ii) 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % of an antifoaming system containing saturated hydroxy fatty acid and saturated non-hydroxy Cfatty acid, where the ratio between the amount of said saturated hydroxy fatty acid to that of said saturated non-hydroxy Cfatty acid is from 1:0.75 to 1:5 parts by weight and where the pH of said composition is from 2 to 7.
