An aqueous cleaning composition, which may be suitable for use in cleaning hard surfaces, is described. The aqueous cleaning composition includes an ionic liquid solvent, an amino alcohol, and a substantial amount of water. The cleaning compositions may also include a disinfecting quaternary surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, such as an ethoxylated alcohol and/or alkyl polyglycoside, and/or a chelating agent, such as an aminopolycarboxylate chelating agent.

Composition comprising mixtures of glucam ides, process for their preparation and their use

Disclosed are compositions comprising a) 20 to 84% by weight of specific N-hydrocarbon-N-acylglucamide blend, b) 15 to 50% by weight of water, and c) 1 to 30% by weight of one or more other additives.

The compositions may be present, at a temperature of 20 C., in the form of a gel or in the form of a paste, and furthermore e.g. in the form of a monodose product.

The compositions are suitable for cleaning, scenting, conditioning or disinfection purposes, preferably in home or personal care applications.
