ANTIMICROBIAL WIPE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This application claims the benefit of U.S.
Provisional Application No. 60/251,465, filed December 5, 2000, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to wipes impregnated with a liquid. More particularly, this invention relates to wipes impregnated with an antimicrobial liquid that has antibacterial and antiviral benefits, as well as kills germs and cleans skin, as well as surfaces.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This application claims the benefit of U.S.
Provisional Application No. 60/251,465, filed December 5, 2000, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application.
1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to wipes impregnated with a liquid. More particularly, this invention relates to wipes impregnated with an antimicrobial liquid that has antibacterial and antiviral benefits, as well as kills germs and cleans skin, as well as surfaces.
2. Background of the Invention Millions of germs share the environment with humans. A germ is generally defined as any microbial organism from which growth and development are expected. Thus, a germ may be a viruses, bacteria, mold, fungus, pollen, protozoan, yeast, and algae.
Many germs have the capacity to cause sickness and infection. Accordingly, controlling germs, such as viruses and bacteria, on human skin and inanimate surfaces deserves serious attention. In light of the foregoing, there is an ongoing need for products, such as wipes, that disinfect skin and inanimate surfaces.
A variety of chemicals zhay be used as antimicrobial agents. One such chemical is alcohol, which is lethal in high concentrations against the vegetative forms of many bacteria, as well as enveloped viruses. In fact, alcohols have a broad spectrum of virucidal activity, demonstrating effectiveness against lipophilic viruses (adenovirus, herpes, and influenza) as well as hydrophilic viruses (poliovirus 1, echovirus 6, and coxsackie B1). Alcohol in concentrations of 60 percent by weight of the total weight of the composition (wt.o) to 95 wt.o has been recognized as safe for over-the-counter daily topical use as an antimicrobial/antibacterial agent. However, when present in a high concentration, alcohols often have a distinctive and unpleasantly strong aroma. High concentration alcohol also tends to dry out the skin.
Accordingly, there is a need for products, such as wipes, that effectively disinfect human skin and inanimate surfaces by using alcohol in high concentration, yet are pleasant to use and do not adversely affect the look and feel of skin.
SUNl~~ARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an antimicrobiaT wipe for use on both human skin and inanimate surfaces.
It is another object of the present invention to provide such a wipe that is both antimicrobial and pleasing for consumers to use.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a wipe that has antibacterial and antiviral benefits.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide such as wipe that kills germs and cleans skin, as well as surfaces.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a wipe impregnated with a composition having alcohol, preferably ethanol, in a concentration about 60o to about 95% of the total weight of the composition. The composition preferably also has a surfactant. In addition, the composition may have one or more ingredients that mitigate against the unpleasant or unwanted effects of high-concentration alcohol.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an antimicrobial composition having a high percentage of one of more alcohols that preferably is combined or impregnated into a wipe. Preferably, the antimicrobial wipe composition has a surfactant. In addition, the antimicrobial wipe composition may have one or more ingredients that militate against the unpleasant or unwanted effects of high-concentration alcohol. Still further, the antimicrobial wipe composition may have water.
The antimicrobial wipe cleans and disinfects both human skin and/or inanimate surfaces. The antimicrobial wipe is effective against or to control viruses, bacteria, and other harmful germs, such that the wipe is considered an antiviral wipe. It is also preferable that the wipe is designed for use both on human skin and on a wide variety of inanimate surfaces, such as countertops, drawers, shelves, and metal fixtures.
The antimicrobial composition according to the present invention is used in conjunction with a wipe, such as an absorbent and/or nonwoven sheet. It is preferable that the wipe is made of a substantially fibrous or semi-fibrous material, such as rayon, polyester, or cotton.
