Part of the Cleaning Kit: Household Edition

A powerful foaming cleaner for sparkling hard surfaces 

This hard surface cleaner delivers a voluminous, quality and stable foam that provides an effective and satisfying clean across a variety of household surfaces. Designed to lift and remove dirt, grease and other soils, this formulation not only leaves a brilliant shine but also provides a protective film that makes subsequent cleaning easier.

Nansa® LSS 38/AS and Empicol® LV840 give the formulation its excellent foam and cleaning performance, while MGDA 3NA is used for its properties as a quick and effective chelating agent. Sorez® HS-205 helps create a thin, invisible film that keeps surfaces cleaner for longer while enhancing their shine. Berol® 366 Max and Ethylan® 1008 work together to boost degreasing and wetting performance.

This high-performing solution is ideal for hard surfaces where a long-lasting clean and streak-free finish are essential.

Appearance and directions for use

The IMCD Foaming Hard Surface Cleaner is a clear liquid that foams upon use. Apply directly to the surface, allow to foam and work for a few moments, then wipe clean. 

Key Featured Ingredients

MGDA 3NA 40% (Jackchem) 

MGDA is a quick and effective chelating agent with an impressive ecological profile. It has excellent metal chelation properties, with a high degree of water solubility, effective over a wide pH range. Can also be supplied in granular form.

Methylglycine N,N-diacetic acid, trisodium salt (MGDA)

Nansa LSS 38/AS (Innospec) 

Alpha olefin sulfonates provide excellent foaming and detergency properties to a broad spectrum of formulations. They produce a high volume of stable and luxurious foam, combining the benefits of alkyl ether sulfates and alkyl sulfates in a single product. In addition, alpha olefin sulfonates have excellent hard water and electrolyte tolerance and are stable in acidic conditions, making them ideal for use in all cleaning applications. 1,4-dioxane free and can be supplied in dried formats.

Sodium Alpha Olefin Sulfonate

Empicol LV840 (Innospec) 

Empicol LV840 is a 100% naturally derived anionic surfactant produced from l-glutamic acid, a naturally occurring amino acid and lauric acid. It is a mild surfactant that is readily biodegradable and can be used as the primary or secondary surfactant in a detergent system. It produces excellent foam and detergency. Sulfate free, EO free and 1,4-dioxane free with low aquatic toxicity.

Sodium Caprylyl Sulfate

Berol 366 Max (Nouryon) 

Alcohol ethoxylate designed for wetting and degreasing. Narrow range ethoxylates have targeted properties to improve degreasing performance at lower concentrations. They also contain lower amounts of unreacted alcohol (causing odour issues) and have lower amounts of higher ethoxylates which causes poor degreasing performance. Manufactured entirely from vegetable derived raw materials, Berol 366 MAX has an RCI of 100% and is RSPO MB, EU Ecolabel and Nordic Swan certified.

Alcohol Ethoxylate (C10+6EO)

Sorez HS-205 (Ashland) 

Sorez HS-205 polymers form a water-soluble film on most surfaces that reduces the ability of soil to stick, enabling easier cleaning. It’s film forming characteristic hydrophilizes surfaces making it easier for detergents to wet and spread. In addition, the polymer film helps enhance the appearance of freshly cleaned surfaces.

VP/ Dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer

Ethylan 1008 (Nouryon) 

Employed as a fragrance solubiliser/emulsifier. Alcohol ethoxylate designed for wetting and degreasing. It is an excellent emulsifier of fragrance in aqueous formulations. Narrow range and naturally derived alcohol ethoxylates are also available from Nouryon. 

Alcohol Ethoxylate (C10+ 8EO)
