The invention relates to a water-soluble container which contains a composition useful for hard surface cleaning. The composition comprises at least one surfactant selected from non-ionic surfactant, anionic surfactant, and mixtures thereof, at least 70% wt. of at least one organic solvent having a solubility in water of at least 4% wt., optionally at least one alkanolamine; and optionally, conventional additives. The water soluble containers can be made by thermoforming or injection molding.

Water soluble sachet containing hard surface cleaner

The invention relates to a water soluble container which contains a composition useful for hard surface cleaning. The composition comprises a cationic surfactant having germicidal properties, a non-ionic surfactant, an alkali salt, an organic acid; and optionally, conventional additives, where the composition is in powder form. The water soluble containers can be made by thermoforming or injection molding.

Water soluble container containing dry actives comprising a cationic germicide and coated citric acid

The invention relates to a water soluble container which containing concentrate composition useful for hard surface disinfecting and cleaning comprising: (a) at least one cationic surfactant having germicidal properties; (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant; (c) at least one organic solvent having a solubility in water of at least 4% wt.; (d) optionally, at least one alkanolamine; (e) optionally, at least one polyethylene glycol; and (f) optionally, up to about 10% wt. of one or more conventional additives selected from coloring agents, fragrances and fragrance solubilizers, viscosity modifying agents, other surfactants, other antimicrobial/germicidal agents, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers including organic and inorganic salts, optical brighteners, opacifying agents, hydrotropes, antifoaming agents, enzymes, anti-spotting agents, anti-oxidants, preservatives, and anti-corrosion agents; wherein said concentrate composition contains no more than 20% wt. water, and desirably contains less. The water soluble containers can be made by thermoforming or injection molding. Methods for the manufacture of such containers containing the concentrate compositions and methods for the treatment of hard surfaces using the concentrate compositions and especially aqueous dilutions of the concentrate compositions are disclosed.
