Synergistic disinfectant compositions having enhanced antimicrobial efficacy and stability, and methods of using the same

Abstract

A synergistic disinfectant composition comprises C1-8 organic acid in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 25.0% by weight; amino acid-based surfactant in an amount of from about 0.05% to about 20.0% by weight; an oxidizing agent in an amount of at least 0.1% but less than 5.0% by weight, all based on total weight of the disinfectant composition; and optionally the balance of water. When desired, the disinfectant composition further comprises anionic surfactant, stabilizing agent, or both. The amino acid-based surfactant comprises C10-24 fatty acid derivative of amino acid, wherein the amino acid is chosen from glycine, sarcosine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, aminomalonic acid, or any combination thereof. Also disclosed is the method of disinfecting surface using the synergistic disinfectant composition.
