A cleaning composition with a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and a nonionic surfactant gives good antimicrobial performance and good filming and streaking performance. The composition can contain a solvent with low water solubility, a volatile solvent that is miscible in water, and additional surfactants. The nonionic surfactant can be food safe. The composition can be impregnated and used on a wipe or other substrate.

Low residue cleaning composition comprising lactic acid, nonionic surfactant and solvent mixture

The present invention relates to a disinfecting article, a sealable housing system for disinfecting articles, and a disinfecting composition comprising a hypohalite composition and a surfactant, for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces, with improved stability and extended efficacy for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces with residues such as foods, dirt, microorganisms and many other common contaminates. The disinfecting article is preferably a wipe that is comprised of high denier fibers and stored in a sealable housing system to ensure the stability of the substrate in the hypohalite releasing solution.
