Abstract: A multi-functional hard surface treating composition is described which includes (1) a surfactant system including at least two surfactants and (2) at least one alkylene glycol alkyl ether. The at least two surfactants include an anionic surfactant and either a polymer surfactant or a nonionic surfactant. The surfactant system and alkylene glycol alkyl ether have a synergistic effect to provide anti-fogging, anti-streaking, and cleaning benefits to a hard surface treated with the composition.

Abstract: A cleaning implement is disclosed which is of the all-in-one type. It has a substrate structure that delivers impregnated cleaning liquid to the window being cleaned, a squeegee to drive used cleaning liquid off the window, and an absorbent to collect the used liquid. A single block of substrate structure can provide the applicator, scrubbing, and collecting functions, as well as filter and reprocess used cleaning liquid for further use. The substrate may be replaced separately from the squeegee, or may be replaced as a unit with the squeegee.

Abstract: A cleaning implement is disclosed which is of the all-in-one type. It has a substrate that delivers impregnated cleaning liquid to the window being cleaned, a squeegee blade to drive used cleaning liquid off the window, and an absorbent region of the substrate to collect the used liquid. In some embodiments a single block of substrate can provide the applicator, scrubbing, and collecting functions, as well as filter and reprocess used cleaning liquid for further use. Refill structures are provided to permit insertion of the refill in varied directions, to facilitate insertion and removal of the refill, to increase the abrasive character of the refill, to minimize drooling, and to otherwise optimize cleaning properties of the refill.

Abstract: Cleaning compositions for hard glossy surfaces having reduced streaking and blooming based on the inclusion of a compatible fragrance or fragrance mixture therein is described. Compatible fragrance(s) are hydrophilic fragrances having a Delta value of 22 or less. The fragrance is maintained in solution in the absence of a solubilizer fragrance carrier.

Abstract: An artificial test soil is composed of particulate, hair, and fiber components, wherein the particulate component consists of mineral, food, and plant materials, so chosen and proportioned as to correlate to a typical soil found in the home. The test soil may be used to test cleaning products by application of a known amount thereof to a surface, cleaning the surface, and determination of the amount of soil removed from the surface.
