Dispensing system for a foaming cleaning formulation

A system for dispensing a foaming cleaning formulation, the system comprising:

• (a) a foaming formulation comprising:
• (i) a first nonionic surfactant;
• (ii) a second nonionic surfactant;
• (iii) a C8 quaternary amine cationic surfactant;
• (iv) at least one of a buffer, a solvent, a fragrance, or a chelator;
• and
• (v) at least 90% by weight water;
• (b) a device for dispensing the foaming formulation as a foam with an extended spray time, wherein the device includes a trigger having a spring with a spring force from about 30 N to about 60 N and the dispensing device including a nozzle orifice diameter of about 0.2 mm to about 0.6 mm.

A method of dispensing a foaming cleaning formulation, the method comprising:

• providing a foaming formulation in a device configured to dispense the foaming formulation as a foam with an extended spray time, wherein the foaming formulation comprises:
• (i) a first nonionic surfactant;
• (ii) a second nonionic surfactant;
• and
• (iii) a C8 quaternary amine cationic surfactant;
• dispensing the foaming formulation from the device, wherein the device includes a trigger and a nozzle with an orifice diameter, the device being configured to create a foam when sprayed on a vertical wall from a distance of about 6 inches, the sprayed foam having an initial diameter on the vertical wall of from about 2 cm to about 10 cm, and having a drainage rate of from about 0.5 cm/s to about 3 cm/s.
