ALKYL POLYPENTOSIDES AND ALKYL POLYGLUCOSIDES (C8-C11) USED FOR ENHANCED FOOD SOIL REMOVAL

摘要

The invention comprises a hard surface cleaning composition including an environmentally friendly, surfactant derived from renewable bio-based resources. The cleaning composition includes a mixture of alkyl polypentosides and alkyl polyglucosides having primarily between 8 and 11 carbon atoms as a surfactant, an acid source, an optional solvent, a water conditioning agent and water. The hard surface cleaner is preferably substantially free of alkyl phenol ethoxylates and is effective at removing food soils including 20% protein.
