Abstract
Abstract An improved cleaning composition, comprising an amine oxide, an alkylether sulphate, casein and optionally other nonionic detergent compounds and an organophosphorus compound. The composition, which is free from alkylbenzene sulphonates, alkyl sulphonates and alkyl sulphates, has improved drain-dry properties and improved mildness properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
An aqueous liquid cleaning composition, which is free of alkyl benzene sulphonates, alkyl sulphonates and alkyl sulphates, and comprising: a. 5 to 35% by weight of said composition of a C 8 -C 24 alkylether sulphate having 1 to 10 alkylene oxide groups, b. 5 to 35% by weight of said composition of a nonionic detergent active compound selected from the group consisting of amine oxides having the general formula RR 1 R 2 N → O wherein R is a straight or branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical which may be saturated or unsaturated having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 and R 2 are methyl, ethyl, hydroxymethyl or hydroxyethyl groups, and mixtures of said amine oxides and nonionic alkylene oxide condensation products. c. 0.25 to 5.0% by weight of soluble casein.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
An aqueous liquid cleaning composition, which is free of alkyl benzene sulphonates, alkyl sulphonates and alkyl sulphates, and comprising: a. 5 to 35% by weight of said composition of a C 8 -C 24 alkylether sulphate having 1 to 10 alkylene oxide groups, b. 5 to 35% by weight of said composition of a nonionic detergent active compound selected from the group consisting of amine oxides having the general formula RR 1 R 2 N → O wherein R is a straight or branched chain aliphatic hydrocarbon radical which may be saturated or unsaturated having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and R 1 and R 2 are methyl, ethyl, hydroxymethyl or hydroxyethyl groups, and mixtures of said amine oxides and nonionic alkylene oxide condensation products. c. 0.25 to 5.0% by weight of soluble casein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A liquid cleaning composition according to claim 1, wherein the weight ratio between said alkylethersulphate and said nonionic detergent active compound is from 5:1 to 1:2.
