AQUEOUS HARD SURFACE CLEANING COMPOSITION

Aqueous abrasive cleaning composition comprising: (i) Calcium salt of LAS; (ii) abrasive particles; and (iii) alkoxylated fatty alcohol; wherein (a) the composition has a pH in the range of 6 to 8 at 20 °C; (b) the composition comprises an amount of Mg-LAS that is 0 to 1 % of the amount of said calcium salt; (c) the composition comprises less than 1 wt% Na-LAS; (d) said abrasive has a Moh's index of 0.5 to 7; (e) the amount of surfactant on the surface of the abrasive particles is 0 to 10 % of the total surfactant of the composition; and (f) said alkoxylated fatty alcohol has an HLB in the range of 11 to 20 and carbon chain length in the range of 12 to 16. Method of preparing a composition comprising Ca-LAS by reacting LAS acid with calcium oxide and/or calcium hydroxide.
