| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed to stable, aqueous cleaning composition, in the form of an emulsion, comprising a food safe nonionic surfactant and an essential oil. The cleaning composition has a substantially neutral pH which makes it safe for consumers to use and also safe for cleaning a wide variety of surfaces, including but not limited to, glass, granite, marble, wood, tile, counter tops, etc. The food safe surfactants in the cleaning composition are beneficial because they meet the regulatory standards for no rinse cleaners of food contact surfaces, while still being capable of effectively cleaning hard surfaces. The cleaning composition is preferably in the form of a stable nanoemulsion, which leaves a clear, non-visible residue on the surface being cleaned. The small particle size of the nanoemulsion, about 50 nm or less, allows the composition to have a low contact angle and good wettablity over the surface being treated.
