A cleaning formulation has from 10 to 99 wt % water, from 0.8 to 40 wt % surfactant, optionally other additives, and from 0.2 to 20 wt % of a solvent additive of formula (I):R&#x2014;O-(AO)&#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014;R&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)where Ris Cto Calkyl, AO is an alkylene oxide group selected from an ethylene oxide group, a propylene oxide group and a butylene oxide group. At least one AO group in the solvent additive is an ethylene oxide group. The solvent additive has a water solubility of less than 1 wt % in deionised water at 20&#xb0; C. and the surfactant enables the solvent additive to dissolve and/or disperse in the cleaning formulation. In a method of cleaning an oily or waxy soil from a hard surface, the solvent additive is applied to the hard surface and optionally rinsed with water. The solvent additive is used in a cleaning formulation to improve the percentage soil removal.

Cleaning formulation comprising a solvent additive

The present invention is directed to the use of hydrophilic terpolymers in hard surface cleaners which provide easier cleaning for surface soils such as hard water stains, soap scum, limescale, mud, food, toilet stains, oil, grease, particulates and the like as well as anti-fog effects on hard surfaces such as glass, mirrors, ceramic and plastic by causing water droplets to coalesce into a film.

Amphoteric polymer for treating hard surfaces

A cleaning composition for hard surfaces containing a polymeric compound comprising a main backbone derived from at least the following monomeric components: (I) 20 to 99.9% by weight of at least one cationic monomer according to formula (I) wherein Rand Rare, independently of one another, hydrogen or C-Calkyl; Rand Rare, independently of one another, hydrogen or alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyl alkyl, carboxyamide alkyl or alkoxyalkyl having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms; and Y represents an anion, and (II) 0.1 to 80% by weight of a hydrophobic unsaturated nonionic monomer that polymerizes in the presence of an initiator; optionally up to 60% by weight of a water-soluble monomer (III) which is different from either monomer (I) or monomer (II); and optionally reactant (IV), a crosslinking agent in an amount between 0 to 10% by weight, gives improved soil removal properties, antimicrobial and biofilm suppression properties as well as resistance to resoiling and staining. 

Hydrophobically modified cationic polymers and their use as cleaning aids

The claims encompass hard surface cleaner and hard surface treatment compositions containing particular ampholytic polymers which impart not only good residual cleaning properties but in particular give fast drying properties to the cleaning compositions. The polymers are for example terpolymers formed from diallydialkyammonium chloride, anionic monomers and N,N di-C-Calkyl(meth)acrylamides.

Fast drying ampholytic polymers for cleaning compositions

The present invention relates to home or fabric care compositions comprising certain dye-polymer complexes. Additionally, methods for coloration of home or fabric care compositions using said dye-polymer complexes are disclosed.

Home or fabric care compositions comprising certain dye-polymer complexes

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising certain dye-polymer complexes. Additionally, methods for coloration of personal care compositions using said dye-polymer complexes are disclosed.

Personal care compositions comprising certain dye-polymer complexes

A surface cleaning composition is described comprising polyvinyl alcohol, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of the fluorescent whitening agents and at least one surfactant for use in delivering a whitening and brightening effect to a variety of surfaces. Such compositions can be applied directly to the surface or may be applied using a pre-treated wiping cloth or implement.

Surface brightening composition

A dishwashing composition having a silicon comprising surfactant, a dialkyl ester of an alpha, omega-alkyl dicarboxylic acid surfactant or both is described. The dishwashing composition unexpectedly results in dishware that does display improved starch soil removal and does not display starch buildup after multiple washes.
