Abstract
The disclosure relates to low foam cleaning compositions comprising quaternary ammonium compounds, as well as, methods of manufacturing and methods of using the low foam cleaning compositions. Beneficially the cleaning compositions are compatible with cleaning methods and apparatuses requiring low foam, including, but not limited to, machine warewash and clean-in-place. The cleaning compositions are particularly suitable for low temperature sanitizing applications.
