Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with improvements relating to light duty cleaning and in particular to improvements relating to manual dishwashing.
- EP 254653 (Cotelle SA and Henkel: 1986) relates to dilution-thickening concentrates in general and covers compositions which are thickened with excess NaCl.
- WO 95/02664 discloses a liquid concentrate for dilution with water to give a thickened product.
- the concentrate comprises: an alkyl ether sulphate, optional further anionic or nonionic or amphoteric, optional cationic alone or in combination with nonionic, electrolyte and/or hydrotrope.
- the compositions disclosed in the above-mentioned documents can be sold as concentrates and are intended for dilution before use to give a thickened composition. Such rheological properties are considered advantageous for the cleaning of hard surfaces as they prevent the product running off the surface. With shampoo compositions, it is also advantageous for the product to thicken in the presence of water such that it is not washed of the skin rapidly.
- WO-A-9416680 relates to dilution-thickening personal washing compositions which comprise 20-60% surfactant other than soap or primary alcohol sulphate and 1-20% electrolyte it has a sufficiently low viscosity for packing and dispensing but will thicken in use to a sufficiently high viscosity that it does not run off skin or hair when applied.
- the compositions which are disclosed in detail in WO-A-9416680 comprise ether sulphate and betaine surfactants and sodium chloride as an electrolyte.
- WO-A-9416680 refers to JP63-270533 which teaches dilution-thickening compositions based on soaps or primary alcohol sulphates as polyhydric alcohols.
- compositions useful for this purpose may take the form of gels or pastes and may be applied to the surface of the articles with a cloth or sponge.
- adsorbent carrier includes articles such as a cloth or sponge. The operative consideration is that the carrier can be used to carry the washing solution to the articles to be cleaned.
- the present invention provides a light duty cleaning process which comprises the steps of:
- a dilution thickening composition in combination with a carrier causes the surfactant to be retained on the carrier and released over a significantly longer period of time. Therefore in the method of the present invention the increased viscosity on dilution of selected compositions is beneficially combined with the delivering features of a porous substrate to extend the working lifetime of the substrate during the cleaning process
- the present invention also provides a kit of parts comprising:
- the compositions of the present invention comprise at least one surfactant whose solution viscosity is strongly influenced by the prevailing electrolyte concentration. While other means by which the viscosity can be increased on dilution are known, the use of an electrolyte is preferred.
- the thickening of the diluted concentrate is effected by the presence of selected surface active agents whose thickening effect, in the concentrate, is reduced by the presence of an excess of dissolved electrolyte.
- the concentration of dissolved electrolyte is reduced and the surface active agent component is then capable of exerting its thickening effect.
- the carrier which is preferably a sponge
- the carrier is treated with the surfactant composition either by dipping at least a part of the carrier in the composition or by otherwise exposing the carrier to the surfactant composition, such as by pouring or otherwise dispensing the surfactant composition onto the carrier.
- the combination of the carrier and the composition is treated with water by dipping the combination into water.

- porous and/or fibrous material useful in the present invention are synthetic sponges, available in the marketplace from the Minesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M) company.
- compositions were prepared by simple mixing of the components listed in Table 1 to form compositions I and II.
- Composition I is a composition for use in the method of the present invention and composition II is a control. Both compositions had an initial viscosity of 600cp as measured using a Haake viscometer at 75.04 reciprocal seconds shear rate.
- the product retention was measured by applying first 3 g of the composition I or II plus, subsequently, 15 g of water to a sponge. After application the sponge was manually compressed to as to generate foam and expel a washing liquor which was allowed to fall into a beaker. The sponge was then treated with a further 15 g of water and the process repeated, each time gathering the liquor in a fresh beaker, until no further foam was generated as the liquor was expelled. The contents of the beakers was subjected to chemical analysis to determine the surfactant concentration. The concentrations are given in table 2 below. SURFACTANT RELEASED ( concentration in ppm) SOLUTION I II 1 1645 6999 2 6792 7055 3 5901 2090 4 1802 966 5 936 464 10 177 86 15 48 60 20 33 36 25 21 29
- composition I showed a clear retention of the product on the sponge and an extended release of the surfactant from the sponge: i.e. with composition I, which embodies the invention, a more extended washing procedure could be conducted without excessive wastage of the surfactant containing product.
- compositions I and II Table 3 below gives viscosity/dilution data for the compositions I and II. It can be seen that composition I exhibits an increase in viscosity as it is diluted. Whereas composition II shows a continuous fall in viscosity with dilution. Active concentration ( %) Viscosity (cp) I II 620 13.5 12.5 1 045 - 11.5 1 685 11.0 410 10.5 1 549 10.0 366 9.5 275 9.0 275 8.5 1 123 8.0 149 7.5 794 7.0 54 6.5 484 6.0 20 5.5 193 5.0 14 4.5 19
