A cleaning solution including: a primary solvent; a secondary solvent, wherein the secondary solvent is at least partially miscible with the primary solvent; an oxidizing agent, wherein the oxidizing agent includes a peroxide; a chelating agent, wherein the chelating agent includes the structure of formula I: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1-R.sub.4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of H; OH; and an alkyl, cycloalkyl, polycycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, alkoxy, alkanoyl, aroyl, alkenyl, alkyl-alkenyl, alcohol, ether, ketone, carboxylic acid, acid halide, acid anhydride, ester, and/or amide group containing approximately 1 to approximately 25 carbon atom(s); and wherein X.sub.1-X.sub.3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of O; S; and Se; a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system includes a first anionic surfactant, a second anionic surfactant, a third anionic surfactant, and a fourth anionic surfactant; a pH modifier; and an optional amino acid.

The present invention refers to a composition for cleaning application comprising a surfactant and a ketal of formula (I) wherein R1 and R2, independently from one another, are selected in the group consisting of: a linear or branched C1-C12 alkyl, a C4-C12 cycloalkyl or an aryl. R3 is H, a linear or branched alkyl, a cycloalkyl or a —C(═O)R4 group, with R4 being a linear or branched C1-C4 alkyl or a C5-C6 cycloalkyl; and wherein the mass ratio between the surfactant and the ketal is between 80:20 to 20:80. The combination of the specific bio-sourced ketal and surfactant provides a synergic effect, improving the performance of the cleaning product.
