The present invention relates to a liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprising melamine foam fibers, wherein the composition is packaged in a container.

Liquid hard surface cleaning composition

A liquid hard surface cleaning composition includes melamine foam fibers. In one embodiment the composition has a pH of from about 7 to about 12. In another embodiment, the composition comprises less than about 200 ppm of formaldehyde in solution, per about 1% by weight of melamine foam fibers present in the composition, after 7 days of storage at 50 C.

A liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprising melamine foam fibers and a formaldehyde scavenger. The liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprises melamine foam fibers that comprise less than about 100 ppm of formaldehyde in solution after 7 days of storage at 50&#xb0; C. A process of cleaning a hard surface using a liquid hard surface cleaning composition that comprises melamine foam fibers and a formaldehyde scavenger. The use of a formaldehyde scavenger in a liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprising melamine foam fibers, to provide a liquid hard surface cleaning composition showing no or low levels of formaldehyde generation upon storage of the composition over prolonged periods of time.

An article of manufacture, a system, and a method for at least partially deionizing water, including but not limited to converting tap water into essentially deionized water that can be used for numerous purposes including, but not limited to cleaning and/or treating surfaces, including surfaces such as ceramic, steel, plastic, glass and/or painted surfaces such as the exterior surface of a vehicle, is disclosed.

Article for deionization of water

The present invention relates to a system and method for cleaning and/or treating a surface, preferably surfaces such as ceramic, steel, plastic, glass and/or painted surfaces such as the exterior surface of a vehicle. The system and method utilize a cleaning composition that contains at least one water-soluble or water dispersible copolymer. The method may also include a step of applying to the surface a treating composition which contains non-photoactive nanoparticles.

System and method for cleaning and/or treating vehicles and the surfaces of other objects

A process is described wherein a surface, for example the exterior surface of a vehicle, is contacted with a cleaning composition capable of rendering the surface treated hydrophilic and then rinsed with purified rinse water. Preferably the process also involves a pre-wetting step, wherein the surface is rinsed with water prior to being contacted with the cleaning composition, and/or an additional rinsing step, wherein the surface is rinsed with unpurified water prior to rinsing with the purified rinse water.

Process for cleaning a surface

The present invention relates to cleaning composition comprising a surface substantive polymer for cleaning surfaces, particularly the exterior surfaces of a vehicle.

Cleaning compositions

Mildly acidic liquid hard surface cleaning concentrated compositions comprise: a) from 0.5 to 40 parts of an amine oxide detergent; preferably 1 to 25 parts; b) from 1 to 30 parts of a quaternary disinfectant (quat); preferably 2 to 16 parts; c) an effective amount of an acidifying agent; preferably 0.05 part to 10 parts; and d) an effective amount of an electrolytic disinfecting booster; preferably 0.5 to 12 parts; wherein said compositions have a pH of from 3 to less than 7 and wherein when used the concentrated compositions are diluted with water at a ratio of concentrate to water of 1:1 to 1:600, preferably 1:30 to 1:260 by volume, to provide superior, no-rinse ready-to-use cleaning and disinfecting compositions.

Cleaning and disinfecting compositions with electrolytic disinfecting booster

Hard surface cleaning compositions which cause little or no vinyl staining comprise from about 1% to about 60% of an amine oxide detergent surfactant having the formula R.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3 NO, wherein R.sup.1 has from about 8 to about 30 carbon atoms, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each individually has from about 1 to about 18 carbon atoms; an aqueous carrier liquid; an amine; and no more than about 2% anionic surfactant. At least a portion of the amine is protonated, and the molar ratio of protonated amine to amine oxide is at least 0.1:1.

Compositions and methods for cleaning hard surfaces using protonated

Concentrated mildly acidic hard surface cleaning compositions having a superior combination of cleaning and disinfecting comprise, by weight of concentrated composition:

Compositions for and methods of cleaning and disinfecting hard surfaces

Disclosed are hard surface cleaning compositions comprising a) from about 1% to about 60% of an amine oxide detergent surfactant, b) an aqueous carrier liquid, and c) a protonated amine. When used to clean a vinyl surface, these compositions cause minimal or no staining of the vinyl surface.
