Abstract: A cleaning and sanitizing composition for use essentially on surfaces, but having other related utilities. The composition comprises a mixture in certain proportions of an anionic surfactant, a mixture of ethanolamines, two nonionic surfactants and a chelating agent in a water vehicle. The composition may further comprise a food grade preservative to enhance shelf-life at higher dilutions of the composition. The composition contains no inorganic builders or salts, nor inorganic bases or acids.
