  • Patent number: 6930081
    Abstract: Aqueous disinfecting and cleaning compositions and concentrates which are efficacious against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, have relatively low volatile organic content (“VOC”) and are surprisingly mild to the user of the compositions. The compositions include a quaternary ammonium compound as its primary germicidal active agent, have a low content of active constituents, and do not include organic solvents such as alcohols, glycols, or glycol ethers in significant amounts.

  • Patent number: 6693068
    Abstract: Improved aqueous carpet cleaning compositions which are ideally suited for use in machinery designed or used in the mechanical cleaning of carpets. The compositions are alkaline, and include one or more detersive surfactants, preferably one or more nonionic surfactants and one or more anionic surfactants; at least about 2% wt. of aminopolycarboxylic acid salt; an organic solvent constituent, preferably which includes a pyrrolidone based organic solvent constituent and excludes glycol and glycol ether solvents; an anti-resoiling agent; and water in quantum sufficient to provide 100% wt. of the compositions, as well as further optional constituents.

  • Publication number: 20030158066
    Abstract: Provided are aqueous cleaning and surface treatment compositions for use in the general or localized cleaning of fibers and fibrous substrates, including carpets, carpet fibers as well as textiles.. The compositions include an oxidizing agent constituent, preferably hydrogen peroxide, an anionic surfactant, especially an alkyl sulfate, an organic solvent, preferably a ternary solvent system which includes ethylene glycol hexyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether and isopropyl alcohol, and an antiresoiling compound which is essentially free of fluorine atoms, preferably one based on a polymeric material which is essentially free of fluorine atoms, and water. Preferably the composition is essentially free of fluorine atoms.

The compositions include an oxidizing agent constituent, preferably hydrogen peroxide, an anionic surfactant, especially an alkyl sulfate, an organic solvent, preferably a ternary solvent system which includes ethylene glycol hexyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether and isopropyl alcohol, and an antiresoiling compound which is essentially free of fluorine atoms, preferably one based on a polymeric material which is essentially free of fluorine atoms, and water. Preferably the composition is essentially free of fluorine atoms. The compositions exhibit good cleaning efficacy, and excellent shelf stability exhibited by low loss of the hydrogen peroxide subsequent to accelerated aging tests.

  • Patent number: 5939374
    Abstract: A blooming type, hard surface cleaning concentrate composition includes as a blooming system the following essential constituents: a cationic quaternary ammonium surfactant; an anionic carboxylated alcohol alkoxylate surfactant; a surfactant compatibilizing agent; and, water. Further optional constituents may also be included including additional anionic, cationic, nonionic, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants especially to provide a further detersive effect; organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, glycol ethers to aid in stain solubilization, as well as conventional additves such as coloring agents including dyes, fragrances, and others. In preferred embodiment, the concentrate compositions and cleaning compositions also provide a germicidal effect to hard surfaces. The cleaning concentrates exhibit a charateristic bloom when admixed to a larger volume of water, yet are substantially clear and shelf stable as concentrate compositions.
