  • Publication number: 20120277140
    Abstract: The present invention relates to aqueous surfactant systems that in diluted or undiluted form may be used for cleaning surfaces or may be used as an active cleaning base in various ready-to-use (or in-use) aqueous cleaning compositions suitable for surface cleaning. The invention also relates to a cleaning system comprising a surfactant system of the invention. According to the invention the cleaning efficacy of the surfactant system or cleaning system is increased by reducing or minimizing the size of the surfactants typically used in surfactant systems and reducing or minimizing the water solubility of the surfactant system.
