A method for providing a ready to use cleaning composition is provided.
The method includes diluting a concentrate with water of dilution. The
concentrate includes an anionic surfactant, an alkanolamine and a water
hardness anti-precipitant mixture. The water hardness anti-precipitant
mixture includes a maleic anhydride/olefin co-polymer and an EO-PO
co-polymer. The EO-PO co-polymer having the formula:
(EO).sub.x(PO).sub.y(EO).sub.x (PO).sub.y(EO).sub.x(PO).sub.y
(PO).sub.y(EO).sub.x(PO).sub.y(EO).sub.x(PO).sub.y EO is an ethylene
oxide group, PO is a propylene oxide group, x is between about 10 to
about 130 and y is between about 15 to about 70.
