The disclosure relates to pH sensitive color indicators which indicate the efficacy of a cleaning composition for antimicrobial activity by exhibiting a color change. In particular, the pH sensitive color indicators comprise a pH sensitive dye and a substrate, wherein the dye is bound to the substrate. In an aspect of the disclosure, the dye can be chemically bound, physically bound, coated on a substrate, or painted on a substrate.

pH sensitive color indicator for sanitizing applications

Antimicrobial compositions including at least one acid and at least one anionic surfactant are provided. In particular, food contact antimicrobial compositions including at least one acid and at least one anionic surfactant provide a no-rinse compositions efficacious against Norovirus, having acceptable use solution pH that do not require use of personal protective equipment (PPE), are surface compatible and do not leave residues on treated surfaces are provided. Methods of cleaning a surface with the compositions are also provided.

Acid/anionic antimicrobial and virucidal compositions and uses thereof

Antimicrobial compositions including at least one acid and at least one anionic surfactant are provided. In particular, food contact antimicrobial compositions including at least one acid and at least one anionic surfactant provide efficacious virucidal activity, including against Norovirus, having acceptable use solution pH that do not require use of personal protective equipment (PPE), are surface compatible and do not leave residues on treated surfaces. Methods of cleaning a surface with the compositions are also provided and may beneficially eliminate the need to rinse the antimicrobial compositions after use.
