The present invention relates to multi-purpose aqueous cleaning compositions comprising hydrogen peroxide, a 2-alkyl alkanol, a hydrophobic surfactant having an HLB below 14 and an anionic surfactant. The present invention also encompasses the use of 2-alkyl alkanols together with hydrophobic surfactants, in aqueous cleaning compositions, so as to improve the greasy cleaning of said compositions. 2-alkyl alkanols in combination with hydrophobic surfactants can be used in any composition including laundry detergents or hard surface cleaners for bathrooms or kitchens or floors. |
