Abstract
A detergent composition for hard surfaces includes (a) 0.1-30 wt. % of a cationic surfactant represented by the general formula (1) or (2): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 6-11 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a methyl group or a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 6-11 carbon atoms, R.sup.3 is a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 6-11 carbon atoms, and X is a halogen atom or a residue of an alkylsulfuric acid; (b) 0.1-20 wt. % of a sequestering agent; and (c) 0.1-20 wt. % of a water-soluble solvent. The composition has a pH of 3-12. Since the detergent composition is excellent in the ability to decompose and solubilize metallic soap scum, the dirt on a bathtub and the like in a bathroom can be quickly and easily cleansed off.
