Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleaner composition comprising an alkalic agent, sodium polyacrylate as ion exchanger, a sterilizer and water, and a cleaning method using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cleaner composition comprising 5 to 15 weight % of an alkalic agent, 5 to 20 weight % of sodium polyacrylate having a molecular weight 4,000 to 10,000 as ion exchanger, 0.5 to 30 weight % of a sterilizer, and water as remainder, and a cleaning method using the same. The cleaner composition of the present invention provides the effect of removing fats, proteins, minerals, etc. comparable to or better than that of the conventional cleaner, and can reduce cleaning time and cost because the cleaning process is simplified. Hence, it can be utilized to clean milking machines or other appliances.
