Abstract
An antibacterial cleaning composition is described which has about 0.05 to about 1 wt. % of a cationic polymer having a charge density of 0.0025 or higher, about 0.2 to about 5% of a zwitterionic surfactant, about 0.2 to about 5 wt. % of at least one biguanide compound, and optionally a nonionic surfactant and a polymeric biocide compound. The composition has a pH of 7.5 or greater.
