  • Patent number: 7030046
    Abstract: Multi-layer substrates for a premoistened wipe capable of controlled fluid release comprise a reservoir layer and a surface contact layer, wherein the reservoir and surface contact layers have certain blends of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers, as well as certain basis weights. Premoistened wipes for treating and/or cleaning a surface comprise the multi-layer substrate and a liquid composition impregnated into the multi-layer substrate, wherein the liquid composition comprises a surfactant system and/or a solvent system. Methods of treating and/or cleaning a surface comprise the step of contacting the surface with a premoistened wipe of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 6479446
    Abstract: Compositions described herein are aqueous detergent compositions, preferably hard surface cleaning compositions, which contain a flexible lamellar sheet phase dispersed in the aqueous phase. The compositions are viscous, provide excellent soap scum and hard water properties and are easy to rinse. Such compositions are formulated by using an alkylaryl detergent composition in combination with an alcohol and/or cationic surfactant, together with a hydrotropic solvent, in an acidic system further optionally comprising a peroxide.
