Abstract: Provided is an improved liquid composition for the treatment of surfaces, preferably the skin and/or hair in order to provide a cleaning and/or sanitizing effect thereto, which necessarily comprises: one or more detersive surfactants selected from anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants; a first biocidal constituent(s) which provide a biocidal effect in conjunction with at least one or more second biocidal constituent(s) selected from benzoic acid, benzoic acid derivatives and salts thereof or farnesol, one or more pH adjusting constituents, optionally one or more organic solvents, hydrotropes, and further additive constituents, and water. In preferred embodiments the hydrotrope and/or organic solvents are desirably excluded from the compositions, and the composition is thickened. The compositions are particularly useful as a hand wash composition, body wash or shampoo.

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.

Abstract: An aqueous concentrated liquid disinfectant composition which blooms when added to a larger volume of water which comprises the following constituents: a terpene based solvent; germicidal cationic surfactant, preferably a quaternary ammonium compound having germicidal properties; organic solvent constituent; a binary co-solvent system comprising alkyl diphenyl solvent and a co-solvent; one or more nonionic surfactants; optionally but desirably at least one optional constituent selected from: chelating agents, coloring agent, light stabilizers, fragrances, thickening agents, hydrotropes, pH adjusting agents, pH buffers one or more detersive surfactant constituents particularly non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants, as well as others known the art and useful in similar compositions; and, the balance being water. The liquid disinfectant compositions feature good blooming characteristics, particularly good long term blooming retention. Process for the use of the compositions are also disclosed.
