Abstract
Aqueous concentrated liquid hard surface cleaning compositions, which bloom when added to a larger volume of water, comprise: an organic solvent constituent; a germicidal constituent which provides a primary sanitizing benefit, preferably a quaternary ammonium compound; a binary co-solvent system comprising an alkyl diphenyl solvent and at least one co-solvent; optionally, a further detersive surfactant constituent; optionally, but desirably, at least one constituent selected from chelating agents, coloring agent, light stabilizers, fragrances, thickening agents, hydrotropes, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers.
Claims30
An aqueous concentrated liquid hard surface cleaning composition which blooms when added to larger volume of water, said composition comprising:
- an organic solvent constituent;
- a germicidal constituent which provides a primary sanitizing benefit;
- and
- a binary co-solvent system comprising an alkyl diphenyl solvent and at least one co-solvent,
- which composition is essentially free of terpene solvents.
An aqueous concentrated liquid hard surface cleaning composition which comprises:
- 0.1-35% wt. of an organic solvent constituent;
- 0.5-10% wt. of a germicidal constituent which provides a primary sanitizing benefit,
- 0.2-10% wt. of a binary co-solvent system comprising an alkyl diphenyl solvent and a co-solvent;
- 0.1-10% wt. of at least one further detersive surfactant constituent;
- and
- 0-20% wt. of at least one optional constituent selected from the group consisting of chelating agents, coloring agents, light stabilizers, fragrances, thickening agents, hydrotropes, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers.
A method for cleaning a hard surface which comprises the step of contacting the hard surface with an aqueous liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprising
- 0.1-35% wt. of an organic solvent constituent;
- 0.5-10% wt. of a germicidal quaternary ammonium constituent
- 0.2-10% wt. of a binary co-solvent system comprising an alkyl diphenyl solvent and a co-solvent;
- 0.1-10% wt. of at least one further detersive surfactant constituent;
- 0-20% wt. of at least one optional constituent selected from the group consisting of chelating agents, coloring agents, light stabilizers, fragrances, thickening agents, hydrotropes, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers,
- said composition being diluted to a ratio of from 1:64 to 1:102.
