The present invention relates to a an aqueous composition for removing soils from a surface to be cleaned, formed from water, a detergent mixture and a rinse aid, wherein the detergent mixture comprises a peroxidation catalyst and wherein the rinse aid comprises an oxygen source. Such a composition may provide a more effective cleaning behaviour. The present invention further relates to a method for removing soil from a surface to be cleaned comprising applying to the surface to be cleaned a composition according to the invention.

The invention relates to compounds of general formula (I), ##STR00001##
in which each E independently represents O or NR.sup.1, with the proviso that at least 1 E is not O and at least 1 R.sup.1 represents a substituted C.sub.1-22 alkyl of the general formula (IIa) or (IIb) or (IIIa) or (IIIb), ##STR00002##
in which Q represents O or CH.sub.2, w represents a number from 1 to 22, q represents 1 or 2 and A.sup.+ represents a cation selected from alkali metal cations where q=1, ½ alkaline earth cations where q=2 and ammonium ions where q=1, as well as metal complexes having this ligand compound and dishwashing detergents which contain such metal complexes.

A cleaning liquid composition is provided. More particularly, a cleaning liquid composition includes a transition metal compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 (see the detailed description of the present invention); and a hydrocarbon-based solvent, and a cleaning method of a polymerization apparatus using the same.

This disclosure relates generally to bleach activator compositions. This disclosure relates more particularly to tetraacetyldiamine and/or triacetyldiamine derivatives and compositions thereof and to their use as bleach activators, and methods for using them as detergents or biocides.
