Abstract: The present invention relates to surfactant-based all-purpose cleaners useful for cleaning surfaces including household hard surfaces as well as glass. The cleaning compositions comprise an anionic sulfonate surfactant, a non-ionic aliphatic ethoxylated surfactant, an alcohol, and a residue-reducing agent. The cleaning compositions of the invention are effective in removing soils such as grease soil and in leaving un-rinsed or unwiped surfaces residue free.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to cleaning compositions and cleaning systems comprising an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide and water. In various embodiments, the compositions may further comprise an amphoteric or pseudo-cationic surfactant, an alcohol and a glycol ether solvent. The present invention is also directed to cleaning systems comprising the compositions in contained within a bottle having a nozzle and a spray pump dispenser, as well as methods for removing stain and/or soil from a surface.
