A cleaning composition for a hard surface is disclosed which provides for initial cleaning of the hard surface and provision of a hydrophilic coating or barrier layer on the surface which provides residual cleaning to the hard surface for an extended number of rinsings. The composition includes a hydrophilic polymer, at least one nonionic surfactant, at least one solvent, an acid and water, wherein the acid provides the composition with a pH of about 2 to 3.5 and the composition is provided in the absence of any anionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant.

Hard surface cleaner with extended residual cleaning benefit

Disclosed herein are acidic aqueous hard surface cleaners and methods for using them. The cleaners include a surfactant and a poly D-glucosamine such as chitosan. They provides residual benefits on the hard surface such as soil resistance and resistance to bacteria, molds and biofilms.

Hard surface cleaners containing chitosan

A hard surface antimicrobial cleaner is disclosed. The hard surface antimicrobial cleaner includes a disinfectant and a polysiloxane with at least one poly(oxyalkylene) side chain wherein the cleaner kills bacteria on a hard surface for at least 24 hours after being sprayed onto and wiped from the hard surface. The hard surface antimicrobial cleaner may include a solvent, a sequesterant, a surfactant, or a water soluble organosilane. Another version of the cleaner also includes a disinfectant and a polysiloxane with at least one poly(oxyalkylene) side chain and inhibits biofilm formation on a hard surface for at least 24 hours after being sprayed onto the hard surface.

Hard surface antimicrobial cleaner with residual antimicrobial effect comprising an organosilane

Disclosed herein are acidic aqueous hard surface cleaners and methods for using them. The cleaners include a poly D-glucosamine such as chitosan and also a furanone. The cleaners provide residual benefits on the hard surface such as soil resistance and resistance to bacteria, molds and biofilms.

Hard surface cleaners containing chitosan and furanone

Disclosed herein are hard surface cleaners which provide improved fragrance retention properties to the treated hard surface, and methods for using them. The cleaners include a fragrance, a carrier, and a surfactant selected from ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymers, polyglycosides, ethoxylated alkyl alcohols, and ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers functionalized with a fatty alcohol moiety. The cleaner may also contain water and a base.

Hard surface cleaners which provide improved fragrance retention properties to hard surfaces

Disclosed herein are hard surface antimicrobial cleaners and methods for using them. The cleaners include a low concentration of high molecular weight ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer and a carrier. This provides residual benefits on the hard surface such as soil resistance and resistance to bacteria, molds, and biofilms. The cleaners contain other surfactants, and preferably also water and an organic acid.

Hard surface cleaners containing ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer surfactants

A synergistic antimicrobial composition includes an effective amount of at least one furanone, together with other disinfectants, such as, for example, an effective amount of at least one organosilane with quaternary ammonium functionality, and/or an effective amount of at least one quaternary ammonium compound. Additionally, biguanides and disinfectant amines also may be advantageously combined with furanones in an antimicrobial composition.

Antimicrobial compositions containing quaternary ammonium compounds, silanes and other disinfectants with furanones

Disclosed herein are hard surface cleaners and methods for creating and using them. The cleaners combine a monocarboxylic acid with an ampholytic surfactant having no carboxyl groups, in an aqueous solution. In one aspect, lactic acid, water, and sodium caprylo ampho hydroxpropyl sulphonate are present.

Liquid hard surface cleaner comprising a monocarboxylate acid and an

A solid preparation from which a reconstituted emulsion bright-drying optionally rebuffable floor finish containing emulsion polymer, alkali-dispersible wax and optionally an alkali-soluble resin in dry particulate form which may be obtained by dehydration of an aqueous dispersion of the emulsion polymer, the wax and optionally the alkali-soluble resin at a temperature below the minimum film-forming temperature of the composition.
