An aqueous hard surface cleaner comprising: (a) 75 to 99% by weight of water; (b) 0.1 to 5% by weight of a monoterpene; (c) 0.1 to 5% by weight of a C10-C17 fatty acid derivative selected from the group consisting of N, N-dialkyl amides, N, N-dialkyl steramines and N, N-dialkyl amidoamines, wherein the N, N-dialkyl amides are monounsaturated and have the formula: R1CO-NR2R3 in which R1 is R4-C9H16-; R4 is hydrogen or C1-C7 alkyl; and each of R2 and R3 is independently C1-C6 alkyl; and (d) 0.1 to 5% by weight of one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of anionic, cationic, non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants. |
