Liquid all-purpose cleaner

Claim 1

A clear, single-phase, liquid cleaning composition particularly suitable for cleaning hard surfaces which leaves a slight visible residue on unrinsed, cleaned surfaces consisting essentially of, by weight, (A) 2% to 8% of a water-soluble mino-, di-, or triethanolamine or ethylene diamine salt of an anionic sulfated or sulfonated detergent containing an alkyl radical of 8 to 22 carbon atoms in the molecule; (B) 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 to 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 5:1 to 1:5 with the total alkylene oxide content being 60% to 85% by weight, the weight ratio of said sulfated or sulfonated detergent to nonionic detergent being from 0.5:1 to 6:1; 2% to 15% of a water-soluble mono-, di-, or tri-ethanolamine or ethylene diamine salt of a C 1 -C 3 monocarboxylic acid builder, the weight ratio of builder to total detergent being in the range of 1:6 to 5:1; 0.1% to 4% by weight of mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine or ethylene diamine; 0-2% of a water-soluble, mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine or ethylene diamine salt of C 8 -C 18 carboxylic acid; 0-8% of urea; and water.
