An improved cleaning composition adapted to clean a variety of hard surfaces. The improved cleaning composition includes a cationic biocide that includes biguanide compounds and/or quats.

Cleaning composition

An improved cleaning composition and method adapted to clean a variety of hard surfaces. The improved cleaning composition and method includes the use of a cationic biocide that includes biguanide compounds and/or quats.

A cleaning implement with a handle and a removable cleaning pad can be used to effectively clean surfaces. The cleaning pad is impregnated with an acidic cleaning composition. The cleaning pad may be dry to the touch. The cleaning implement may be a manual tool or a motorized tool. Examples of suitable cleaning implements include a hard surface floor mop, a carpet mop, an auto cleaning device, a toilet cleaning device, a bathroom cleaning device, and a shower cleaning device.

Cleaning composition for disposable cleaning head comprising a sulfamic acid/alkyl sulfate surfactant mixture

The invention provides an improved, liquid aqueous hard surface cleaner containing a fluoropolymer having a molecular weight of no less than 5,000, further containing preferably a nonionic surfactant, optionally, a quaternary ammonium compound, a chelating agent/buffer and water to provide enhanced cleaning of hard surfaces, especially vitreous surfaces, in which the thus cleaned surface is rendered soil and stain repellent.

Hard surface cleaner with improved stain repellency comprising a fluoropolymer and a quaternary ammonium surfactant

The present invention provides an abrasive-free cleaning composition which includes, in aqueous solution, a bleach, a colloidal thickener, and a source of divalent ionic calcium. The composition further includes at least one surfactant which is effective to provide cleaning activity and, in association with the colloidal thickener, thickening. The composition also includes an electrolyte/buffer which is effective to promote an environment in which the thickener and the surfactant associate to provide proper thickening. The inventive cleaning composition, with its ionic calcium source, has desirable viscosity and rheological properties, and demonstrates significant viscosity stability, rheological stability, phase stability and bleach stability. The cleaning composition maintains these desirable properties under typical storage conditions as well as over extended times and at elevated temperatures. The present invention also provides a method of preparing an abrasive-free cleaning composition and a method of cleaning a substrate with an abrasive-free cleaning composition. The present invention further provides a composition having the above-mentioned advantages, which is particularly useful in the cleaning of ceramic substrates, such as toilet bowls, and has additional advantages for this application.

Thickened aqueous composition for the cleaning of a ceramic surface and methods of preparation thereof and cleaning therewith

The invention provides a concentrated, dilutable cleaning composition which comprises a novel microemulsion comprising a nonionic surfactant oil phase, a predominant, aqueous continuous phase, a polar organic solvent coupling agent, and a combination of surfactants different from the surfactant oil phase as the dispersing agent facilitating formation of the microemulsion.
