An antimicrobial composition is provided that comprises about 10.0 to about 40.0 wt. % of one or more Calcohols, based on the total weight of the antimicrobial composition; and two or more of a surfactant; an enhancer; and a buffer. The pH of the composition is less than or equal to about 6.0 and the composition achieves a microbial log reduction of greater than 4.0 log CFU/ml at a contact time of 1 minute, in accordance ASTM E2783.

Antimicrobial composition

A non-antimicrobial cleansing composition is disclosed comprising from about 10.0 wt. % to less than about 40 wt. % of one or more C-Calcohols; about 0.5 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one primary surfactant; 0 wt. % to about 10.0 wt. % of at least one secondary surfactant, with the primary and secondary surfactants having an HLB value greater than 8; a pH adjusting agent; and water. The composition does not achieve a microbial kill level greater than 2.0 log.

Alcohol containing non-antimicrobial cleansing composition

Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include a Calcohol, a primary enhancer, and an acidifying agent. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of less than 3. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited againstspores.

Compositions and methods with efficacy against spores and other organisms

Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include a Calcohol, and a primary enhancer selected from biguanides. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of no more than about 2.5. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited againstspores.

Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include an alcohol and a peracid. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of no more than about 5. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited against bacterial and fungal spores, includingspores. The compositions and methods are also useful against conformationally altered prions, bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

Compositions and methods having improved efficacy against spores and other organisms

Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include at least about 40 weight percent of a Calcohol, and a primary enhancer selected from protein denaturants. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of less than about 3. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited againstspores.
