Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION FOAMING HARD SURFACE CLEANER BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [00011 Hard surface cleaners are usually mostly water that include cleaning 5 materials, fragrance, and color. Hard Surface cleaners are usually sprayed onto a surface and then wiped to clean the surface. Because hard surface cleaners are mostly water, they will drip when applied to vertical surfaces because of gravity. [00021 This requires a person to quickly wipe the surface before the hard surface cleaner drips down the surface to be cleaned. The dripping of the hard surface cleaner 10 does not allow for a longer residence time of the hard surface cleaner on the surface to effect more cleaning. It would be desirable to have a hard surface cleaner that could remain in place when applied to a surface. [0002a] Any discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles or the like which has been included in the present specification is not to be taken as an admission 15 that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present invention as it existed before the priority date of each claim of this application. [0002b] Throughout this specification the word "comprise", or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated 20 element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps, but not the exclusion of any other element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps. BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION [0002c] The present invention provides a foamable composition comprising: a) at least one anionic surfactant that is a salt of an alkyl sulfate in an amount 25 of 0.01 to 1% by weight of the composition, wherein the alkyl sulphate is a triethanolamine alkyl sulfate; b) at least one glycol ether in an amount of 0.1 to 1.5% by weight of the composition; c) at least one alcohol in an amount of 2 to 6% by weight of the composition; 30 and d) water.
[0002d] The present invention provides an article comprising a container with a dispenser that foams a composition that is dispensed through the dispenser and the foamable composition according to the present invention, disposed in the container. [0002e] The present invention provides a method for removing soil from a surface 5 comprising applying the composition according to the present invention, to the surface and removing the composition. [00031 A foamable composition comprising: a) at least one anionic surfactant chosen from a salt of an alkyl sulfate and a salt of an alkyl ether sulfate in an amount of about 0.01 to about 1% by weight of the 10 composition; b) at least one glycol ether in an amount of about 0.1 to about 1.5% by weight of the composition; c) at least one alcohol in an amount of about 2 to about 6% by weight of the composition; and 15 d) water. [00041 A foamable composition comprising: a) at least one anionic surfactant chosen from a salt of an alkyl sulfate and a salt of an alkyl ether sulfate; b) at least one glycol ether; and 20 c) at least one alcohol; and d) water,
IA
WO 2008/060303 PCT/US2006/061047 wherein the composition has a run down time of greater than about 15 seconds, wherein the run down time is measured by providing a vertical glass surface, which is perpendicular to the earth's surface, with a first horizontal line that is 10 cm above a second horizontal line and both are parallel to the earth's surface, applying the composition to the vertical glass surface at the first horizontal line from a distance of 20 cm perpendicular to the surface, and measuring the time for the composition to run down from the first horizontal line to the second horizontal line. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION [00051 As used throughout, ranges are used as a shorthand for describing each and every value that is within the range. Any value within the range can be selected as the terminus of the range. [00061 All references to amounts in this specification are by active weight of the material in the total composition. The active weight of a material is the actual amount of the material not including other materials, such as water, in the form in which it is supplied. [0007] As used throughout, the counter ion for the salt of a surfactant can be a metal ion, an ammonium ion, or an amine. Metal cations that can be used include, but are not limited to, alkali metal ions and alkaline earth ions. In some embodiments, the metal cation ion can be lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, or calcium. In some embodiments, the amine is triethanolamine. [00081 The foaming composition includes at least one anionic surfactant chosen from a salt of an alkyl sulfate surfactant and a salt of an alkyl ether sulfate surfactant. In one embodiment, the surfactant is present in the composition in an amount of about 0.1 to about 1% by weight. [00091 In one embodiment, the surfactant comprises a triethanolamine alkyl sulfate. In one embodiment, the alkyl is a C10 to C14 alkyl. In another embodiment the surfactant comprises a triethanolamine lauryl sulfate. In one embodiment, the triethanolamine alkyl sulfate is present-in an amountof about 0.1 to about 0.3% by 2 WO 2008/060303 PCT/US2006/061047 weight, and in another embodiment in an amount of about 0.18 to about 0.22% by weight. [00101 In another embodiment, the surfactant comprises the salt of an alkyl ether sulfate. In one embodiment, the alkyl is a C1O to C14. In one embodiment the surfactant is a sodium lauryl ether sulfate. In one embodiment, there is an average of about 1 to about 10 moles of ethylene oxide per mole. In another embodiment, there is an average of about 2 to about 3 moles of ethylene oxide per mole. In one embodiment, the sodium lauryl ether sulfate is present in an amount of about 0.05 to about 0.2% by weight, and in another embodiment at 0.06 to about 0.08% by weight. [00111 In addition to the anionic surfactant, the foaming composition can include an amine oxide surfactant. Amine oxide semi-polar nonionic surfactants can comprise compounds and mixtures of compounds having the formula: R2 Ri(C 2
