An aqueous cleaning composition, which may be suitable for use in cleaning hard surfaces, is described. The aqueous cleaning composition includes an N,N-dialkyl-N-aliphatic ammonium hydroxycarboxylate salt, a nonionic surfactant and/or anionic surfactant and a substantial amount of water. Other than an optional fragrance component, the cleaning composition is substantially free of volatile organic compounds. The cleaning compositions may also include a disinfecting quaternary surfactant and/or a chelating agent, such as an aminopolycarboxylate chelating agent.

The present application relates to anti-foam compositions and methods of making and using such compositions as well as consumer products that comprise such compositions and the use of same. Such anti-foam compositions have low viscosities yet are effective antifoamers.

The present disclosure relates to cleansing compositions, which are free of sulfates and ethoxylated surfactants. Methods for making and using the cleansing compositions are also described. The cleansing compositions include: (a) at least 3 wt. % of one or more nonionic surfactant(s) that are not fatty esters; (b) one or more fatty ester(s); (c) one or more non-ethoxylated, sulfate-free anionic surfactant(s); and (d) two or more thickening agents. The cleansing compositions exhibit quality cleansing activity, impart pleasant conditioning benefits, and have a desired viscosity and foam properties.
