Abstract: An optionally VOC-free silicone containing furniture polish is prepared using one or both of 1) a low viscosity silicone fluid and 2) a polydiorganosiloxane; and 3) a phosphonic acid dispersant together with water and one or more suitable surfactants.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multi-surface cleaning composition having an anti-bacterial ingredient for cleaning furniture surfaces. The anti-bacterial cleaning component includes a quaternary ammonium chloride compound or combinations thereof. The composition further includes a pH adjuster to provide for a generally neutral pH in the range of about 6 to about 9 including a combination of components, preferably white distilled vinegar and an amine compound. The cleaning composition provides for good cleaning and disinfecting of wood surfaces and other furniture surfaces without leaving streaks.

Abstract: A disposable wipe impregnated with furniture polish or another surface treating liquid such as a hard surface cleaner or insect repellant is disclosed. The liquid is in the form of a dispersion which is a biliquid foam with a thickener, where the foam is structured as an oil-in-water complex. The dispersion has an oil portion having a polysiloxane and/or a hydrocarbon oil. There is also surfactant such as one nonionic surfactant and one polar surfactant. Water is also provided. The biliquid structure stabilizes the dispersion even with very low levels of surfactant, while the thickener retards migration of the impregnated liquid in response to gravity.

Abstract: Pressurized mixtures of propellant gasses and liquid surface or air treating materials are disclosed. The liquid materials are in the form of a dispersion which is a biliquid foam with a thickener, where the foam is structured as an oil-in-water complex. The dispersion has an oil portion having a polysiloxane and/or a hydrocarbon oil. There is also surfactant such as one nonionic surfactant and one polar surfactant. Water is also provided.

Abstract: Furniture polishes, and methods for their use, are disclosed. The polishes are liquids in the form of a dispersion which is a biliquid foam with a thickener, where the foam is structured as an oil-in-water complex. The dispersion has an oil portion having a polysiloxane and/or a hydrocarbon oil such as a mineral oil. There is also surfactant such as one nonionic surfactant and one more polar surfactant. Water is also provided. The polish is preferably essentially free alcohols.

Abstract: A furniture polish comprising a mineral oil, a silicone polish, and a bittering agent may be prepared. Such a composition may be made suitable for dispensing as a spray or mist by means of a non-pressurized spray apparatus by the addition thereto of a shear-thinning thixotropic thickener.
