Abstract
Abstract A carpet cleaning composition is disclosed. The composition contains, on a weight-to-weight basis, a. about 0.30 to 2.2 percent of hydrogen peroxide; b. from about 0.05 to about 5.0 percent of a nonionic, anionic or amphoteric surfactant or mixture thereof; and c. a pH in the range above 3.5 and below 6.4.
