The present disclosure provides compositions and methods useful in the deactivation of allergens. The compositions can comprise a peroxide and can particularly be at a relatively low pH (e.g., less than 5). The compositions exhibit efficacy for deactivation of a wide variety of allergens and are suitable for application to one or more types of surfaces to provide for deactivation of at least a portion of allergens present on the surface.

Composition and method for allergen deactivation

Disclosed is a hard surface cleaning composition employing dibasic esters as a primary solvent in combination with a primary emulsifier, a short-chain cosurfactant, a secondary emulsifier and water. Optional components include a polar solvent and a thickener. The disclosed composition is preferably in the form of an oil continuous microemulsion and is provided as a component of a liquid or spray formulation for use, depending upon the application. The disclosed cleaning agents have a low odor and satisfy the 2005 CARB VOC requirements of less than 8% by weight for oven cleaners.

Low odor ester-based microemulsions for cleaning hard surfaces

A surfactant composition including an alkyl polyglycoside, an ethoxylated alcohol with an average of about 1 to about 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol, and an alkoxylated alcohol with an average of about 1 to about 30 moles of ethylene oxide and about 2 to about 60 moles of propylene oxide per mole of alcohol, with a ratio of moles of ethylene oxide to moles of propylene oxide of about 1:2 is provided. The surfactant composition including about 1% to about 50% by weight of an alkyl polyglycoside, about 1% to about 50% by weight of an ethoxylated alcohol, and, about 1% to about 50% by weight of an alkoxylated alcohol is also provided. A cleaning composition including the surfactant compositions described above is also provided. A method for cleaning hard surfaces includes applying to a hard surface the surfactant and cleaning compositions described above is also provided.
