Abstract
Described is an aqueous cleaning composition comprising: an effective mineral dissolving amount of an organic acid of at least 5% by weight of the cleaning compositions; an effective amount of a spore forming microbial composition; an effective cleaning amount of a blend of wetting agents, the first wetting agent having a hydrophobic/lipophobic number (HLB) of about 10 and higher and a second wetting agent having an HLB number of about 5 or less; an effective amount of a thickening agent and water. The composition is also available in powder form without the thickening agent.
Claims15
An aqueous cleaning and disinfecting composition comprising:
- an effective mineral dissolving amount of an organic acid of at least 1% by weight of the cleaning composition;
- an effective amount of a spore forming microbial composition;
- an effective cleaning amount of a blend of wetting agents, the first wetting agent having a hydrophobic/lipophobic number (HLB) of about 10 and higher and a second wetting agent having an HLB number of about 5 or less;
- an effective amount of a thickening agent and water.
A powder cleaning and disinfecting composition comprising:
- an effective mineral disolving amount of an organic acid of at least 1% by weight of the cleaning composition;
- an effective amount of a spore forming microbial composition;
- and
- an effective cleaning amount of a blend of wetting agents, the first wetting agent having a hydrophobic/lipophobic number (HLB) of about 10 and higher and a second wetting agent having an HLB number of about 5 or less.
A powder cleaning and disinfecting composition which is added to water comprising:
- an effective mineral dissolving amount of an organic acid of at least 1% by weight of the cleaning composition;
- an effective amount of a spore forming microbial composition;
- an effective cleaning amount of a blend of wetting agents, the first wetting agent having a hydrophobic/lipophobic number (HLB) of about 10 and higher and a second wetting agent having an HLB number of about 5 or less;
- and
- an effective amount of a thickening agent.
