Aqueous flowable carpet cleaning composition comprises the following constituents: A) one or more surfactant compounds selected from anionic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactant compounds; B) an aminopolycarboxylic acid particularly EDTA salt as an resoiling inhibiting agent; C) an organic solvent; and, D) optionally, a stain repellency imparting composition especially a fluorine containing compound. These aqueous carpet cleaning compositions may include one or more further optional constituents including further organic solvents or cosolvents, further resoiling inhibiting agents, fragrances, preservatives, viscosity modifying agents such as thickening agents, preservatives, pH adjusting agents, pH buffers, agents for imparting water repellency to carpets and carpet fibers, and agents for imparting oil repellency to carpets and carpet fibers whose total weight generally comprise not more than about 20%wt., preferably not more than 10% by weight of the compositions described. |
