A homogeneous and single-phase liquid laundry detergent contains alkyl glycoside nonionic surfactant and a detergent builder having a water solubility at 25.degree. C. of less than about 55 weight percent.

Built liquid laundry detergent containing alkyl glycoside surfactant

A soiled hard surface is cleaned by applying thereto and subsequently removing therefrom a cleaning composition comprising: (a) about 0.1 to 50 weight percent alkali metal hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide; (b) about 0.1 to 40 weight percent alkyl glycoside; and (c) about 10 to 95 weight percent water.

Alkaline hard-surface cleaners containing alkyl glycosides

Glycosides and polyglycosides are described having the formula

Method for inhibiting oxidation of ferrous metals with alkyl glycosides

The glycoside surfactants are employed in combination with strong acids to provide cleaning and acidizing compositions.

Stability and compatibility of glycosides in acid systems

Aqueous liquid carpet and upholstery shampoo compositions are provided which comprise a glycoside surfactant, a normally solid, water soluble or water dispersible polymer component and water. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the surfactant ingredient employed consists essentially of one or more glycoside surfactants and utilizes a polymer-containing shampoo modifier system of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,203,859. The indicated compositions are utilized in the cleaning of soiled carpet or upholstery by applying said composition to the soiled carpeting or upholstery; permitting same to dry and harden thereon and thereafter removing at least a portion of the resulting soil-containing polymer residue by vacuuming.

Carpet shampoo or upholstery cleaning composition

This invention describes a composition of matter and a method of treating agricultural substrates in which an active ingredient selected from the group consisting of fungicides, bactericides, insecticides, insect repellents, herbicides and plant growth regulators and mixtures thereof is utilized in conjunction with an amount of a glycoside dispersing agent selected from the group consisting of fructoside, glucoside, mannoside, galactoside, taloside, guloside, alloside, altroside, idoside, arabinsode, xyloside, lyxoside and riboside and mixtures thereof which is sufficient to form an emulsion or dispersion of the active ingredient.

Glycoside-containing agricultural treatment composition

Liquid hand-soap or bubble bath compositions are provided which comprise a glycoside surfactant, a nonionic foam booster and water and which have a viscosity of at least about 1,000 centipoise. Such compositions have a pleasing texture or consistency, are mild and fast rinsing and do not necessarily require the use of conventional moisturizing agents or additives. Preferred compositions further comprise an anionic or amphoteric surfactant material and especially preferred compositions contain an amphoteric surfactant and are substantially free of anionic surfactant components.

Liquid hand-soap or bubble bath composition

Liquid disinfectant and/or sanitizer cleaning compositions are provided in the form of homogeneous aqueous solutions which comprise water, a germicidal quaternary ammonium halide compound and a glycoside surfactant and in which the weight ratio of the quaternary ammonium halide compound to the glycoside surfactant is at least 0.65!1. Such compositions may also optionally include additional ingredients such as water soluble detergent builders, water miscible organic solvents, hydrotropes, perfumes, dyes, colorants, thickeners, soil suspending agents, deodorizers, ammonia, aerosol propellants and the like.

Disinfectant and/or sanitizing cleaner compositions

This invention describes a composition of matter and a method of treating agricultural substrates in which an active ingredient selected from the group consisting of fungicides, bactericides, insecticides, insect repellents, herbicides and plant growth regulators and mixtures thereof is utilized in conjunction with an amount of a glycoside dispersing agent selected from the group consisting of fructoside, glucoside, mannoside, galactoside, taloside, guloside, alloside, altroside, idoside, arabinoside, xyloside, lyxoside and riboside and mixtures thereof which is sufficient to form an emulsion or dispersion of the active ingredient.

Novel liquid hard surface cleaning compositions are provided in the form of a homogeneous aqueous solution which comprises a glycoside surfactant, a water miscible organic solvent, a water soluble detergent builder and water and which effectively cleans soiled hard surfaces without rinsing and without leaving an objectionable residual film on such surfaces after cleaning.

Method and compositions for hard surface cleaning

Novel liquid hard surface cleaning compositions are provided in the form of a homogeneous aqueous solution which comprises a glycoside surfactant, an amine oxide surfactant, a quaternary ammonium halide surfactant, a water soluble detergent builder and water and which effectively cleans soiled hard surfaces without rinsing. Particularly preferred compositions of the present invention employ the amine oxide surfactant in a weight ratio of from about 0.5:1 to about 0.8:1 relative to the glycoside surfactant and utilize the quaternary ammonium halide surfactant in a weight ratio of from about 0.1:1 to about 0.4:1 relative to said glycoside surfactant.
