A stable microemulsion cleaning composition is described, which, in the absence of opacifying component, appears clear to the eye, and which is especially useful for cleaning surfaces having oily or greasy soils thereon, which comprises synthetic organic detergent, water, co-surfactant of the described type, and perfume, which is the only "solvent". The concentrated detergent composition may be employed as is, or may be easily diluted with water to form a similarly clear and stable microemulsion. In process aspects of the invention both the concentrated and the diluted compositions may be employed to remove oily and greasy stains from substrates, such as normally shiny bathroom fixture and floor and wall surfaces, including tiles, by a "spray and wipe" process, which leaves the surface shiny. When the invented compositions are acidic they are useful for removing lime scale and soap scum from hard surfaces.
Also described are processes for manufacturing and diluting the invented compositions.
本手册描述了一种稳定的微乳液清洁组合物,在不含不透明成分的情况下,这种组合物看起来是透明的,特别适用于清洁表面有油性或油脂污垢的表面,该组合物由合成有机洗涤剂、
水、所述类型的辅助表面活性剂和香
水(唯一的 "溶剂")组成。浓缩洗涤剂组合物可以原样使用,也可以用
水稀释形成类似的透明稳定的微乳液。在本发明的工艺方面,浓缩组合物和稀释组合物均可用于去除基材上的油腻污渍,如通常光亮的浴室设备、地板和墙壁表面,包括瓷砖,采用 "喷洒和擦拭 "工艺,使表面光亮。当发明的组合物呈酸性时,它们可用于清除硬表面上的
石灰垢和肥皂垢。
此外,还介绍了制造和稀释本发明组合物的工艺。
