Abstract
The need for a method of cleaning household surfaces which results in less grease residues on the surface, and improved surface shine is met by cleaning the household surface using an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition which comprises specific amines.
Claims20
A method for cleaning household surfaces, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) optionally diluting an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition;
- (b) applying the hard surface cleaning composition to the household surface;
- and
- (c) optionally rinsing and/or wiping the surface;
- wherein the aqueous hard surface cleaning composition comprises an amine selected from the group consisting of:
- i. an amine of formula I:
- R1-N—R2R3 formula I
- wherein:
- R1 is a cyclic or acyclic polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl;
- R2 is hydrogen or methyl;
- and
- R3 is a C6 to C30 hydrocarbyl;
- ii. an amine of formula II:
- R1-N—R2R3 formula II
- wherein:
- R1 is an acyclic or cyclic polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl;
- and
- R2 and R3 are independently selected from:
- hydrogen, wherein R2 and R3 are not both hydrogen;
- substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C3 hydrocarbyl;
- and
- acyclic or cyclic polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl as defined for R1;
- iii. an amine of formula III:
- R1-N—(R2)(CH2CHOH(CH2O)nR3) formula III
- wherein:
- R1 and R2 are independently selected from hydrogen, cyclic or acyclic, linear or branched C1 to C10 alkyl, C1 to C10 hydroxyalkyl, polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl and polyalkoxy of formula (R4-O)xH with R4 being C1-C4 and x is from about 1 to about 15;
- n is about 0 or about 1;
- and
- R3 is a C6 to C30 hydrocarbyl;
- iv. and mixtures thereof.

- and
- R3 is a C6 to C30 hydrocarbyl;
- ii. an amine of formula II:
- R1-N—R2R3 formula II

- and
- R2 and R3 are independently selected from:
- hydrogen, wherein R2 and R3 are not both hydrogen;
- substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C3 hydrocarbyl;
- and
- acyclic or cyclic polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl as defined for R1;
- iii. an amine of formula III:
- R1-N—(R2)(CH2CHOH(CH2O)nR3) formula III
- wherein:
- R1 and R2 are independently selected from hydrogen, cyclic or acyclic, linear or branched C1 to C10 alkyl, C1 to C10 hydroxyalkyl, polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl and polyalkoxy of formula (R4-O)xH with R4 being C1-C4 and x is from about 1 to about 15;
- n is about 0 or about 1;
- and
- R3 is a C6 to C30 hydrocarbyl;
- iv. and mixtures thereof;
- in an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition, for removing grease from household surfaces and/or improving the shine of household surfaces.
