摘要:
The composition of this invention is a stabilized acidic bleaching composition comprising an aqueous solution of a source of source of unipositive chlorine ion, a chlorine stabilizing agent, and an acidic buffer to stabilize the pH of the bleaching composition in the range from about 2 to 6.5, wherein the chlorine stabilizing agent and the source of source of unipositive chlorine ion are in a molar ratio of greater than about 1:1. Methods are described for removal of lime scale from a hard surface controlling microbial activity as well as reducing malodor by applying the composition of this invention.
摘要:
A low residue antimicrobial solution containing about 0.2 percent by weight of an acid selected from the group consisting of organocarboxylic acids; and about 2 percent of a volatile solvent selected from the group consisting of n-butanol, benzyl alcohol, phenylethanol, and sparingly soluble glycol ether solvents is disclosed. Preferred compositions may also contain about 0.1 percent anionic sulfated or sulfonated surfactants and about 5 percent co-solvent selected from the group consisting of completely water soluble monoprotic aliphatic alcohols and glycol ethers. The solution may be also employed as a low-residue cleaner for soiled hard surfaces.

A method of substantially reducing biofilm-associated microorganisms on a surface and a composition designed to substantially reduce biofilm-associated microorganisms on surfaces are disclosed. In one embodiment, the composition is an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, and aryl sulfonates with alkyl or aryl substituents, an acid, and an alcohol solvent, wherein the pH of the composition is between pH 1 and pH 5.

The antimicrobial efficacy of N-chlorosulfamate solutions, namely buffered aqueous combinations of HClNSO3−(mono-N-chlorosulfamate) and Cl2NSO3 (di-N-chlorosulfamate), herein referred to as “stabilized hypochlorite”, can be markedly enhanced by the addition of certain organic dopants. The dopants themselves are select hypochlorite stabilizing agents, which are known to readily form stable organochloramides when reacted with “free” hypochlorite (HOCl or NaOCl). Highly effective antimicrobial enhancing dopants include 5,5-dialkyl hydantoins, arylsulfonamides, and succinimides. Examples of these include 5,5-dimethylhydantoin, benzenesulfonamide, and succinimide. Other, less effective dopants include glycolurils. Generally, the dopant is present in a minor mole fraction, relative to the molar amount of stabilized hypochlorite present in the enhanced antimicrobial solution.

Self-adhesive detergent compositions are described including a pH-sensitive color-changing system. The color-changing system is useful with certain acidic compositions and certain alkaline compositions. The compositions have a given color upon application to a hard surface, e.g., a toilet bowl. In one embodiment, when the self-adhesive composition is exposed to a water-based rinse, such as on flushing a toilet, the color-changing system provides the released cleaning portion of the composition, and thereby the water, with a color different from the color of the composition to indicate cleaning is occurring. In another embodiment, following exposure to a plurality of rinses, the color-changing system changes the color of the composition when the composition is near depletion to provide an “end-of-use” cue. In another embodiment, the color-changing system indicates dual functions by changing the color of the composition to another color when the composition is physically mixed with a rinse to provide manual cleaning.

Disclosed are replaceable cleaning pads capable of delivering a bleaching agent and a detersive composition to surfaces being cleaned. The pads are constructed to retain bleach separate from detersive ingredients and certain other chemicals prior to use, yet permit rapid delivery of the combined chemicals to the surface being cleaned once the pad is wetted. Most preferably a detersive mixture is melt-anchored to the pad. In one form, the pad is a two layer pad, and in another form, the pad is a three layer pad.
摘要:
Surfactant-thickened active chlorine-containing bleach compositions including at least one water soluble anionic styrenic polymer are described. The styrenic polymer serves to improve the rheology properties of the thickened bleach composition. The thickened bleach composition additionally includes a surfactant-based thickening system including an amine oxide, and an alkaline agent to maintain the pH of the composition at about 10 or greater. The amine oxide includes at least 75% of one or more C14-C18 alkyl dimethyl amine oxides. The thickened bleach compositions have reduced viscosity, decreased elastic properties, with improved flow and pour properties resulting from the inclusion of the styrenic polymer.

Disclosed herein are bleaching systems that contain a peroxide and an activator. The activator is a cyanopyridine N-oxide, preferably 2, 3, or 4-cyanopyridine N-oxide. The peroxide is preferably hydrogen peroxide. When such bleaching systems are utilized in an aqueous alkaline environment, they provide bleaching performance on a variety of stains on both hard and soft surfaces.
摘要:
Aqueous soft surface cleaning compositions comprising from about 0.1% to about 5.0% by wt. of a tertiary alkyl hydroperoxide; and from about 99.9% to about 95% by wt. of an aqueous alkaline cleaning composition comprising acetylenic alcohol and an anionic surfactant, which are stable, color-safe and produce satisfactory cleaning results, especially in removing red wine, grape juice, blueberry and blood stains from carpeting.
