Abstract
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of using the compositions for treating a floor surface. The disclosed compositions clean the floor surface, repair damage, or maintain the original look of the floor. The disclosed compositions also do not provide a permanent finish on the floor, are temporary coatings, or do not significantly change the gloss of the floor after application.
Claims65
A floor care composition for flooring, the composition comprising:
- about 1 wt. % to about 6 wt. % resin, wherein the resin comprises polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- about 0.02 wt. % to about 20 wt. % surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- at least one of benzyl alcohol, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and combinations thereof;
- and
- about 80 wt. % to about 99.9 wt. % diluent.
A method of restoring a floor, the method comprising:
- applying a floor care composition to the floor, the floor care composition comprising:
- about 1 wt. % to about 6 wt. % resin, wherein the resin comprises polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- about 0.02 wt. % to about 40 wt. % surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- at least one of benzyl alcohol, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and combinations thereof;
- and
- diluent;
- wherein the floor care composition does not cure on the floor.
A method of restoring a laminate floor, the method comprising:
- applying a floor care composition to the laminate floor, the floor care composition comprising:
- about 1 wt. % to about 6 wt. % resin, wherein the resin comprises polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- about 0.02 wt. % to about 40 wt. % surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- at least one of benzyl alcohol, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and combinations thereof;
- and
- diluent;
- wherein the floor care composition does not cure on the floor.
A method of cleaning a floor comprising, applying a composition to the floor, the composition comprising:
- about 1 to about 6 wt. % resin, wherein the resin comprises polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- about 0.02 wt. % to about 40 wt. % surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- at least one of benzyl alcohol, diethylene glycol dibenzoate, and combinations thereof;
- and
- diluent;
- wherein the floor care composition does not cure on the floor.
A floor care composition for flooring, the composition comprising:
- a resin, wherein the resin comprises polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- a surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- diethylene glycol monoethyl ether;
- and
- about 80 to about 99.9 wt. % diluent.
A method of treating a floor, the method comprising:
- applying a floor care composition to the floor, the floor care composition comprising:
- a resin, wherein the resin comprises polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- a surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- diethylene glycol monoethyl ether;
- and
- a diluent;
- wherein the floor care composition does not cure on the floor.
A floor care composition for flooring comprising:
- an acrylic polymer comprising polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- 0.02 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- diethylene glycol monoethyl ether;
- and
- about 80 wt. % to about 99.9 wt. % water.
A method of treating a floor comprising:
- applying a floor care composition to the floor, the floor care composition comprising:
- an acrylic polymer comprising polymers with a molecular weight of 500-2000 Daltons;
- 0.02 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of surfactant, wherein the surfactant comprises C6-C18 alkoxylated alcohol;
- diethylene glycol monoethyl ether;
- and
