Bactericidal cleaning wipe

A disinfecting cleaning wipe having reduced biocide retention comprising:

• a. a wipe having at least one layer of absorbent or adsorbent material, said wipe including a material selected from a group consisting of wood pulp, wood pulp derivative, and mixtures thereof;
• and
• b. a hard surface cleaning composition impregnated on said wipe with a loading ratio of about 1-5:1, said hard surface cleaning composition including about 0.05-5 weight percent cationic biocide as the principal biocide, a cationic biocide release agent to reduce the cationic biocide retention on said wipe to less than about 45% wherein the cationic biocide release agent has an ionic strength in said cleaning composition of about 1×10−2-5 mol/l and constituting about 0.04-5 weight percent of said cleaning composition, about 0.01-5 weight percent surfactant, about 0.5 to less than about 5 weight percent organic solvent, and a majority weight percent water, said cationic biocide including a quaternary ammonium compound, said cationic biocide release agent including a salt selected from the group consisting of potassium citrate, sodium citrate, magnesium sulphate, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, potassium chloride and mixtures thereof, said surfactant including an amine oxide, a majority of said organic solvent including a solvent selected from a group consisting of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol and mixtures thereof.

A dispenser for cleaning wipes comprising a container containing at least one cleaning wipe, said cleaning wipe including a wipe impregnated with an improved cleaning composition, said wipe having at least one layer of absorbent or adsorbent material, said wipe including a material selected from a group consisting of wood pulp, wood pulp derivative and mixtures thereof, said improved cleaning composition including about 0.05-5 weight percent cationic biocide as the principal biocide, a cationic biocide release agent to reduce the cationic biocide retention on said wipe to less than about 45% wherein the cationic biocide release agent has an ionic strength in said cleaning composition of about 1×10−2-5 mol/l and constituting about 0.04-5 weight percent of said cleaning composition, about 0.01-5 weight percent surfactant, about 0.5 to less than about 5 weight percent organic solvent, and a majority weight percent water, said cationic biocide including quaternary ammonium compound, said cationic biocide release agent including a salt selected from the group consisting of potassium citrate, sodium citrate, magnesium sulphate, sodium chloride ammonium chloride, potassium chloride and mixtures thereof, said surfactant including an amine oxide, a majority of said organic solvent including a solvent selected from a group consisting of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol and mixtures thereof.
