[ The invention claimed is:] [1.] A process of cleaning a vertical or inclined hard surface, said process comprising a step of applying to said hard surface a cleaning solution that consists of a solution in water of from 2 to 10% by weight of a concentrated cleaning formulation comprising:(a) 0.5 t

[ The invention claimed is:] [1.] A process of cleaning a vertical or inclined hard surface, said process comprising a step of applying to said hard surface a cleaning solution that consists of a solution in water of from 2 to 10% by weight of a concentrated cleaning formulation comprising:(a) 0.5 to 10% by weight of one or more tertiary amine oxides corresponding to general formula [ STR 2 ] in which R.sup.1 is a saturated or mono- to tri-unsaturated alkyl moiety containing 10 to 20 carbon atoms and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently of one another represent methyl, ethyl or propyl moieties or hydroxy derivatives thereof;(b) 0.5 to 10% by weight of one or more alkyl polyglycosides corresponding to general formula (II): EQU R.sup.4 --O--(R.sup.5 --O).sub.y (Z).sub.x, (II) which R.sup.4 is a monofunctional saturated or unsaturated alkyl or hydroxyalkyl moiety containing 6 to 30 carbon atoms or an aryl moiety, R.sup.5 is a difunctional hydrocarbon moiety containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, y is a number of 0 to 12, Z is a sugar moiety containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms and x is a number of 1 to 10;(c) 1 to 15% by weight of one or more water-soluble organic solvents selected from the group of monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, glycol ethers and alkanolamines and the balance water or an aqueous solution of other auxiliaries and active substances, said cleaning solution having a higher viscosity than said concentrated cleaning formulation, so that said cleaning solution, after it has been applied to said vertical or inclined hard surface to be cleaned, remains in contact with said vertical or inclined hard surface for a longer time.
