Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to surface treating compositions for household items such as furniture, countertops and other hard surfaces. Specifically, the present invention provides a nonhomogenized, oil-in-water, multi surface cleaner polish suitable for use in pump, trigger and squeeze spray dispensers characterized by comprising: a) from about 75% to about 99% by weight water; b) a film former in an amount of about 0.5 to 20% by weight of the composition; c) a nonionic emulsifier in an amount from about 0.l to 5% by weight of the composition; and, d) a thickener in an amount of about 0.0l to about 0.3% by weight of the composition wherein said composition is essentially wax free and is substantially homogeneous. A method for preparing the cleaner polish composition is also provided.
