Abstract: A hand cleaning article is provided that includes a towel presenting two opposing surfaces. A hand cleaning composition is impregnated into the towel and includes a first non-ionic surfactant that is a C12-C15 alkyl ethoxylated alcohol having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 3 to 7. A solvent is present of a dibasic ester microemulsion, R1—C(O)N(CH3)2 where R1 is a C2-C20 alkane, C3-C20 alkene, C6-C20 diene, or R2—C(O)O—(CH2)n where a C1-C20 alkane, C3-C20 alkene, or C6-C20 diene, and n is an integer of between 1 and 10, or a combination of the dibasic ester microemulsion and R1—C(O)N(CH3). An organic co-solvent is provided of: a C4-C28 acid ester, C9-C16 hydrocarbons having a boiling in the range of 150° C. to 290° C., butyl 3-hydroxynutyrate, or a combination thereof. The majority of the composition is water.

Abstract: An article is provided including composition of 0.5 to 15 total weight percent of a surfactant. The surfactant is a non-ionic surfactant, an anionic surfactant, or a combination thereof. The composition also includes 0.01 to 35 total weight percent of solvent including a microemulsion, a carboxylic acid ester based ketal ester solvent, or a combination thereof. 0.1 to 10 total weight percent of at least one emollient, and 60 to 99.3 total weight percent of water also being present. The resultant composition has total volatile organic content (VOC) composition of less than 2 total weight percent and as a result, the composition is more environmental benign and less irritating to skin than conventional waterless hand cleaners. The composition impregnated into a substrate of a towel presenting two opposed surfaces, the substrate having pores for absorbing and retaining the composition.

The resultant composition has total volatile organic content (VOC) composition of less than 2 total weight percent and as a result, the composition is more environmental benign and less irritating to skin than conventional waterless hand cleaners. The composition is well suited for being impregnated into a substrate of a towel presenting two opposed surfaces, the substrate having pores for absorbing and retaining the composition.
