Low residue cleaning solution comprising a C8-C10 alkylpolyglucoside
Cleaning compositions containing C8-C10 alkylpolyglucosides, have low filming and streaking when combined with C2-C4 alcohols and propylene glycol ethers. The low filming and streaking occurs even in the presence of quaternary ammonium biocides.
