A self-opacified, impalpable, homogeneous, liquid, hard surface cleaner consisting essentially of, by weight, from 2% to 6% of a water-soluble, synthetic, anionic, sulfated or sulfonated detergent salt containing an alkyl radical of 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the molecule, said salt being selected from the group consisting of ammonium, mono-, di- and triethanolammonium and alkali metal salts; from 1% to 4% of a water-soluble alkyleneoxylated nonionic detergent selected from the group consisting of condensates of C 8 -C 18 alkanol with 2-15 moles of ethylene oxide, condensates of C 6 -C 12 alkylphenol with 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide and condensates of C 10 -C 16 alkanol with a heteric mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide in a weight ratio of 2.5:1 to 4:1 with the total alkylene oxide content being 60% to 85% by weight, the weight ratio of anionic detergent to nonionic detergent being from 0.5:1 to 6:1; 2% to 15% of a water-soluble detergent builder salt, the weight ratio of builder salt to total detergent being in the range of 1:5 to 5:1; 0-2% of C 8 -C 18 fatty acid, 0-8% of urea; and the balance water.
