Definitions
- compositions for the cleaning of hard surfaces which clean effectively in concentrated or diluted form, and which leave no or little streaks after the cleaning.
- the invention encompasses a hard surface cleaning composition comprising
- the invention encompasses the use of said hard surface cleaning composition for improved shine of hard surfaces which have been cleaned therewith.
- the invention further encompasses processes of cleaning hard surfaces with the compositions, either dilute or neat.
- various components are combined and used in a hard surface cleaning composition with a view to provide shine to the hard surfaces which are cleaned with the compositions.
- hard surfaces typically refers to floors, walls, windows, kitchen and bathroom furniture, appliances and dishes.
- Obtaining a good shine end result is essentially the sum of two factors, namely: a good spreading of the cleaning product on the surface, and no crystallisation while drying. If both are achieved, a streak-free end result is obtained.
- the streaking phenomenon can thus be described as the apparition of visible residues from the cleaning composition, as the water from the composition or the rinse water evaporates. Molecular crystallinity and aggregation during evaporation cause streaking, thus give a bad shine end result.
- the ability of a composition to provide "shine" to surfaces refers to the composition's ability to leave little or no eye-visible residues on the surfaces, after evaporation of the water.
- the ability of various compositions to provide shine can be evaluated by the human eye, but it is also possible to evaluate the difference by means of a gloss-meter, such as a Sheen ® 155 gloss meter.
- a suitable method to evaluate a composition's ability to leave no or little residues is to first measure the gloss of a given surface, then apply the cleaning composition on the surface, then leave the composition to dry, and finally measure again the gloss of the surface on which the composition has been applied. The smaller the difference, the better the shine.
- component (a) the compositions herein comprise a hydrophilic nonionic surfactant, or mixtures thereof.
- Suitable hydrophilic nonionic surfactants for use herein include alkoxylated alcohols, preferably ethoxylated alcohols.
- Such surfactants can be represented by the formula CxEOyH, where C symbolises the hydrocarbon chain of the alcohol starting material, x represents the length of its hydrocarbon chain.
- EO represents ethoxy groups and y represents the average degree of ethoxylation, i.e. the average number of moles of ethoxy groups per mole of alcohol.
- Suitable hydrophilic nonionic surfactants for use herein include those where x is of from 9 to 18, preferably 9 to 14, and average y is of from 8 to 30, preferably 10 to 20
- suitable hydrophilic nonionic surfactants are ethoxylated and propoxylated alcohols which can be represented by the formula CxPOyEOy', where x is as above, and (y+y') is as y above.
- the compositions herein can comprise mixtures of such hydrophilic nonionics, and the compositions comprise from 0.5% to 8.0%, preferably from 1% to 4% by weight of the total composition of such hydrophilic nonionic surfactants, or mixtures thereof.
- compositions herein comprise a hydrophobic nonionic surfactant (c), or mixtures thereof.
- Suitable hydrophobic nonionic surfactants for use herein include alkoxylated alcohols, preferably ethoxylated alcohols.
- Such surfactants can be represented by the formula CxEOyH, where C symbolises the hydrocarbon chain of the alcohol starting material, x represents the length of its hydrocarbon chain.
- EO represents ethoxy groups and y represents the average degree of ethoxylation, i.e. the average number of moles of ethoxy groups per mole of alcohol.
- the compositions herein should comprise an anionic surfactant which is sulfated anionic surfactant, as opposed to a sulfonated anionic surfactant.
- Suitable sulfated anionic surfactants for use herein include alkyl sulfates and alkoxylated alkyl sulfates which can be made by sulfating an alcohol, or an alcohol alkoxylate, respectively.
- Typical alkoxylating groups for such surfactants are ethoxy and propoxy groups, and suitable alkyl ethoxy sulfates for use herein can be represented by the formula CxEOyS where C symbolises the hydrocarbon chain of the alcohol starting material, x represents the length of its hydrocarbon chain.
- EO represents ethoxy groups and y represents the average degree of ethoxylation, i.e. the average number of moles of ethoxy groups per mole of alcohol.
- S stands for a sulfate group.
- Suitable alkyl ethoxy sulfates anionic surfactants for use herein include those where x is from 10 to 14 and y is from 1 to 5.
- suitable alkyl propoxy sulfates can be represented as CxPOyS, with identical ranges for x and y.
- a particular sulfated anionic surfactant for use herein is a mixture of an ethoxylated alkyl sulfate and a propoxylated alkyl sulfate according to the formulas above.
- the compositions herein comprise from 0.5% to 10%, preferably from 0.5% to 4% of said sulfated anionic surfactant, or mixtures thereof.
- An optional but highly preferred component herein is a particular builder system which further improves the cleaning performance without negatively affecting the shine.
- This fifth component comprises a carbonate or polyphosphate salt, and a polycarboxylate salt, and preferably the weight ratio of polycarboxylate to carbonate or polyphosphate is at least 1:0.05.
- salt refers to both the acidic form of all the builders suitable for use herein, or any of their salts.
- Suitable carbonate builders for use herein are according to the formula X 2 CO 3 or XHCO 3 where X is a suitable counterion, typically K + , Na + NH 4 + .
- Such suitable and preferred polycarboxylates include citrate and compounds of the formula CH(A)(COOX)-CH(COOX)-O-CH(COOX)-CH(COOX)(B) wherein A is H or OH; B is H or -O-CH(COOX)-CH 2 (COOX); and X is H or a salt-forming cation.
- a and B are both H, then the compound is oxydissuccinic acid and its water-soluble salts.
- A is OH and B is H, then the compound is tartrate monosuccinic acid (TMS) and its water-soluble salts.
- TDS tartrate disuccinic acid
- Still other ether polycarboxylates suitable for use herein include copolymers of maleic anhydride with ethylene or vinyl methyl ether, 1, 3, 5-trihydroxy benzene-2, 4, 6-trisulfonic acid, and carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid.
- ether hydroxypolycarboxylate builders include the ether hydroxypolycarboxylates represented by the structure : HO-[C(R)(COOM)-C(R)(COOM)-O] n -H wherein M is hydrogen or a cation wherein the resultant salt is water-soluble, preferably an alkali metal, ammonium or substituted ammonium cation, n is from about 2 to about 15 (preferably n is from about 2 to about 10, more preferably n averages from about 2 to about 4) and each R is the same or different and selected from hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl or C 1-4 substituted alkyl (preferably R is hydrogen).
- polycarboxylates are those also known as alkyliminoacetic builders such as methyl imino diacetic acid, alanine diacetic acid, methyl glycine diacetic acid, hydroxy propylene imino diacetic acid and other alkyl imino acetic acid builders. Most preferred of all polycarboxylate builders for use herein is citrate.
- compositions herein comprise from 0.5% to 5% by weight of the total composition of the builder system, preferably from 0.5% to 3%.
- components (a) to (d) should be present in certain specified ratios. Accordingly, components (a) and (b) should be present in a weight ratio of (a) to (b) of from 1:1 to 10:1, preferably 2:1 to 7:1. Components (c) and (b) should be present in a weight ratio of (c) to (b) of from 5:1 to 25:1, preferably 10:1 to 20:1. And components (d) and (c) should be present in a weight ratio of (d) to (c) of from 1:1 to 1:10, preferably 1:2 to 1:6. Where a component is composed of a mixture of ingredients, as opposed to a single ingredient, the weight ratios herein are calculated on the basis of the weight amount of the component, i.e. the added amounts of the individual ingredients forming the component.
- compositions herein are combining three technology blocks which function on their own, but which find their preferred application when they are used together.
- the first technology block is the combination of the selected hydrophilic nonionic surfactant with the selected alcohol, in the selected ratios. Indeed, these nonionic surfactants are particularly effective on particulate soils and on greasy soils, but they will cause streaking if they are used on their own.
- the second technology block is the combination of the selected hydrophobic nonionic surfactant with the selected alcohol in the selected ratios, together with the selected sulfate anionic surfactants.
- these nonionic surfactants and anionic surfactants are particularly effective on particulate soils and on greasy soils, but they will cause streaking if they are used on their own. Addition of alcohol, in the selected ratios, results in a clear shine benefit.
- the third technology block is the mixed builder system.
- Polycarboxylates with surfactants would cause streaking, and carbonate or polyphosphates with surfactants would cause a crystalline film to be deposited on the surface.
- the combination of these builders, together with surfactants leaves no visible streaks and no film. This performance improvement is particularly visible in presence of anionic surfactants, as these surfactants tend to form streaks already when pure.
- compositions herein can further comprise a variety of further, optional, ingredients.
- optionals include bleaches, enzymes, dyes, perfumes and other aesthetics.
- compositions herein are preferably formulated as aqueous liquids. They can comprise from 1% to 30% by weight of the total composition of actives, i.e. from 99% to 70% water.
- “neat” refers to a composition comprising that amount of actives.
- the composition herein is applied neat onto a surface so as to clean the surface, and is optionally but preferably subsequently removed by rinsing with water.
- the compositions is first diluted in water, typically from 40 to 320 times, and it is then applied to the surface to be cleaned. Thereafter, in this second mode, the composition can but does not necessarily have to be rinsed off of the surface.
- the first mode is generally more convenient for heavily soiled surfaces while the second mode is generally more convenient for large and lightly soiled surfaces such as floors.
