A cleaning composition with a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and a food safe
nonionic surfactant gives good antimicrobial performance with improved
filming and streaking performance combined with low residue and high
grease cleaning capability for use on and around food contact surfaces.
The composition may contain an anionic surfactant to provide improved
wetting performances, and may optionally contain a solvent, additional
surfactants, and other adjuncts. The food safe nonionic surfactant is
preferably food safe or of low toxicological concern for use on animal,
human and food contact surfaces. The composition can be used directly,
diluted for use or impregnated and used on a wipe or other substrate, and
require no rinsing or removal from the surface following application and
cleaning.
