A foamable, liquid cleaning composition comprising: i. 0.5 to 5 wt. % Calkoxylated anoionic surfactant having 1 to 30 moles of alkylene oxide; ii. 5 to 20 wt. % nonionic surfactants; iii. 0.1 to 10 wt. % water miscible glycol ether solvent; iv. 0.1 to 10 wt % water immiscible fatty acid ester solvent selected from the group consisting of methyl laurate, ethyl laurate, ethyl octanoate or mixtures thereof; v. 0.1 to 10 wt % of sequestrant selected from the group consisting of citric, adipic, succinic, maleic, glutaric acids, mixtures thereof or salts thereof; and vi. water, wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than 100 mPa&#xb7;s at 25&#xb0; C. and 20 s, wherein ratio of the sum of alkoxylated surfactant (i) and nonionic surfactant (ii) to the solvent is in a weight ratio ranging from 0.93:1 to 20:1, and wherein the pH of the composition ranges from 2.0 to 4.5. A cleaning system comprising a spraying device and a foamable liquid cleaning composition, said spraying device forming a foam with a density of less than 0.4 g/ml when ejected from the spray device through the spray head. A method of removing oily fatty stains from fabric. Use of the composition for the removal of oily fatty stains from fabric, said use comprising applying the liquid cleaning composition in the form of a foam onto the surface of the fabric.

The present invention is in the field of tooth cleaning devices, especially electrical toothbrushes. The invention further relates to the use of an air/water jet for the cleaning of teeth. A process for cleaning teeth that incorporates a water jet for cleaning teeth remains to be desired, especially a single device that can be employed to clean teeth and reliably deposit material onto teeth. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a process for cleaning teeth with an electrical toothbrush device providing improved cleaning by means of an externally mixed air-water jet wherein the water dosing is not influenced by the air pressure. Surprisingly it has been found that a tooth brush device, comprising an air/water jet, wherein the air and water are mixed outside the nozzle(s), provides improved cleaning of dental surfaces, including inter-proximal areas, with low usage of water.

The present invention is in the field of household cleaning tools. The invention further relates to the use of an air-water jet for the cleaning of hardsurfaces. It is an object of the present invention to provide easier cleaning of hard surfaces. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a process of easier cleaning of hard surfaces, especially by means of a device that uses a relatively low water flow rate. Surprisingly it has been found that an external mix air-water jet device may be used for cleaning hard surfaces.
