AQUEOUS COMPOSITION FOR CLEANING HARD SURFACES

Disclosed is an aqueous bleach-free cleaning composition comprising: (i) 1.5 to 5 % by weight surfactant system containing a. a first surfactant which is a linear alkyl benzene sulphonate; and b. a second surfactant which is an alkoxylated sulphate or a mixture of alkoxylated sulphate and up to 0.4 % by weight of non-ionic surfactant, the non-ionic surfactant having a HLB of 10 to 15; (ii) a non-phosphate alkaline builder in an amount sufficient to provide pH of 11 to 14 to said composition; and, (iii) 2 to 5 % by weight electrolyte which is a salt of a strong acid and a strong base, wherein ratio of amount of said first surfactant to that of said second surfactant is 1:1 to 1:6.5 parts by weight, wherein the second surfactant keeps the first surfactant in micellar phase, and where viscosity of said composition is 250 to 2500 cP at 20 s-1 (0.25 Pa.s to 2.5 Pa.s) at 20°C.
