Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compositions, methods and/or articles for removing dirt and other unwanted residues from hard surfaces, especially those surfaces which are contacted by food intended for ingestion by humans or lower animals.
  • Alkaline liquid hard surface cleaning compositions are well known in the art.
  • the alkalinity provides improved grease cleaning properties but typically is employed in conjunction with other components which require careful rinsing of the cleaned surface before this surface could be used in any direct contact with items intended for ingestion by humans or lower animals.
  • Conventional hard surface cleaners typically include inorganic and organic compounds which would be unacceptable if transferred to foods which contact the cleansed surface. Some cleaners employ bleaching agents, abrasives, and/or solvents which could also negatively impact food items.
  • the present invention encompasses compositions, articles of commerce, and methods for cleaning hard surfaces, especially those surfaces which are contacted by food intended for ingestion by humans or lower animals.
  • the compositions demonstrate superior film/streak performance.
  • compositions are suitable for cleaning hard surfaces, even when the compositions are incompletely removed from said surfaces.
  • a composition comprises only food grade ingredients, has a pH of greater than 11.6, preferably greater than about 12.0, more preferably greater than about 12.5, and is essentially free of C 8 -C 18 fatty acid or salts thereof.
  • said compositions preferably comprise less than about 2.0%, by weight of the total composition, more preferably below about 1.75%, and even more preferably below about 1.0% of non- volatile components.
  • the compositions of the present invention comprise:
  • composition up to about 6% by weight of the composition, preferably from about 0.01% to about 4%, more preferably from about 0.1% to about 2% of GRAS perfume;
  • the balance comprising aqueous carrier selected from water and, optionally, low molecular weight, toxicologically-acceptable organic solvent.
  • compositions for use herein contain only materials that are GRAS, including, of course, direct food additives affirmed as GRAS, to protect against possible misuse by the consumer.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a composition suitable for cleaning hard surfaces, even when the composition is incompletely removed from said surfaces, comprising only food grade ingredients; wherein said composition consists essentially of:
  • a toxicologically-acceptable alkali compound (c) a toxicologically-acceptable alkali compound; (d) from about 0.5% to about 8%, preferably from about 2 to about 6% of low molecular weight, toxicologically-acceptable organic solvent; and
  • the present invention also encompasses methods of using said compositions comprising contacting hard surfaces by direct application of said compositions in an amount effective to clean said surfaces.
  • the compositions of the present invention are particularly effective at cleaning greasy build-up, and coffee, tea and juice stains commonly found in kitchen environments.
  • Another preferred variation in the above methods for cleaning hard surfaces involves placing said cleaning compositions in a spray container to provide a spray of said composition to distribute the said composition, or compositions, over the surfaces while utilizing only a minimum amount of the cleaning solution and minimizing the exposure of the remaining solution to the atmosphere, where the solution is more likely to be contaminated and/or exposed to oxygen, both of which tend to cause undesirable changes in the solutions from aesthetic and/or performance considerations.
  • spray processes there is only need for a relatively small amount of material in the package, and for individual consumer use, this is desirable, since some consumers will not be able to manipulate large weights.
  • the present invention also encompasses articles of commerce comprising a container containing said cleaning compositions.
  • the container will contain no more than about two gallons (about eight liters), preferably no more than about one gallon (about four liters), especially when the container is a spray container, even one that has a tube that permits the spray device to be manipulated while the bulk container remains in place. More preferably such spray containers contain about one liter, or less, of cleaning solution.
  • the present invention especially the methods involving use of hand held trigger activated spray means are primarily/solely suitable for use by individual consumers so that it is essential that extra safety be built into the product.
  • the compositions described herein are intended to be used without a rinsing step. After cleaning hard surfaces, the cleaning compositions of the present invention are designed to be wiped from the surface. Failure to rinse thoroughly after cleaning is less of a concern if all of the ingredients are GRAS. This is especially important when concentrated basic compositions are employed.
  • compositions are preferably selected and used in proportions which provide substantially clear compositions.
  • substantially clear includes only minimal haziness, and preferably the compositions are completely clear.
  • the ingredients are also selected to have minimal odor, both initially and after storage. The lack of odor is especially important in compositions for use on food.
  • toxicologically-acceptable ingredients are used in the preparation of the preferred compositions herein.
  • toxicologically-acceptable is meant that any residues from the ingredients of the compositions which may remain on the hard surfaces cleansed therewith are safe for ingestion by humans and/or lower animals.
  • the present invention encompasses aqueous compositions suitable for cleaning hard surfaces, even when the composition is incompletely removed from said surfaces, comprising only food grade ingredients; wherein said composition comprises from about 0.001%) to about 1.0% of nonionic and/or anionic surfactant; said composition having a pH of greater than 11.6, and wherein said composition is essentially free of C 8 -C 18 fatty acid or salts thereof.
  • compositions of the present invention is a food grade surface active compound.
  • Base stable anionic surfactants can be employed, as allowed by the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Section 173.315.
  • Preferred are salts of dodecylbenzene sulfonate.
  • Also described in the CFR are phosphate esters of ethylene and/or ethylene/propylene oxide adducts of aliphatic alcohols, dioctyl sulfosuccinate, or 2-ethylhexyl sulfate.
  • the anionic surfactants are suitably water-soluble alkyl or alkylaryl compounds, the alkyl having from about 6 to about 20 carbons, including a sulfate or sulfonate substituent group. Depending upon the level of cleaning desired one can use only the anionic detergent surfactant, or, less preferably, the anionic detergent surfactant can be combined with a cosurfactant.
  • Nonionic surfactants e.g., ethoxylated alcohols and/or alkyl phenols, can also be used as cosurfactants or replace the anionic altogether.
  • the anionic detergent surfactants herein are selected from the group consisting of C6-C20 alkyl sulfates, alkyl ethoxy ether sulfates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, olefin sulfonates, and mixtures thereof.
  • said surfactant is selected from sodium sulfates and sulfonates, in particular, sodium alkyl sulfates, sodium n-alkylbenzene sulfonates, sodium mono- and dimethyl naphthalene sulfonates.
  • the anionic detergent surfactant is C6-C20 alkyl sulfate, more preferably C8-C16 alkyl sulfate.
  • the anionic detergent surfactant is C6-C20 alkyl sulfate, more preferably C8-C16 alkyl sulfate.
  • the nonionic surfactant is preferably selected from materials known well-known in the art, such as alkylene oxide (ethylene oxide or propylene oxide) adducts of C ⁇ ⁇ -18 aliphatic alcohols or acids, CI Q-18 aliphatic alcohol adducts of glucose (alkyl polyglucosides).
  • the specific nonionic surfactant selected ideally has a hydrophilic- lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than about 10, and a cloud point above about 35°C in the composition.
  • HLB hydrophilic- lipophilic balance
  • CFR specifically describes an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide adduct of C12-18 aliphatic alcohol of molecular weight of about 800.
  • PLURAFAC RA-20 BASF
  • the alkoxylated alcohol functions mainly as a dispersant for any soap curd which may form during the cleansing operation. Further, it is recognized that the selection of non-nitrogen containing nonionics can minimize the possibility of microbial growth in the dilute surfactant compositions.
  • the levels of anionic and/or nonionic surfactant useful in the present invention are determined by cleaning and film/streak performance and also by the levels deemed safe as food grade.
  • the surfactants of the present invention are present at levels of from about 0.001%) to about 1%, by weight of the composition, preferably from about 0.005 to below 0.5%), and more preferably from about 0.01%) to about 0.1%.
  • the pH of the composition is essential to the superior cleaning performance of the compositions described herein. These highly basic compositions demonstrate superior cleaning performance on tough stains typically found in kitchen environments. Unusually stubborn stains such as those left by coffee, tea, and juices are effectively cleaned by these compositions.
  • the pH of compositions of the present invention are above 11.6, preferably above 12, and even more preferably above 12.5.
  • alkali compounds can be used in the compositions herein to maintain product pH in the basic range.
  • alkali compounds are defined as substances which have a pH value of greater than 7.0 in aqueous solution.
  • Carbonates, bicarbonates and hydroxides are convenient and preferred alkali compounds.
  • Sodium bicarbonate is a highly desirable material to add to the compositions of this invention as a part of the buffering system since it is readily available as baking soda in food grade and is therefore relatively inexpensive, while providing a highly desirable purity to the composition.
  • Sodium hydroxide is also a highly preferred ingredient.
  • the compositions are thick, so as to cling to the surfaces until spread, but are readily dispensed, e.g, by means of a spray device, either aerosol or finger-activated pump.
  • the levels and identities of the ingredients are adjusted to provide products having the desired viscosities as set forth herein, e.g., more than about 5, preferably more than about 10, more preferably more than about 50 centipoise when at rest, and less than about 150, preferably less than about 100, more preferably less than about 50 centipoise under shear of > ⁇ 1000 sec'l.
  • the ability of the preferred compositions containing mixtures of both sodium and potassium cations to shear thin is important to promote easy dispensing, especially when the compositions are sprayed, while maintaining the ability to be thick, cling, and delay run off after being applied to the hard surfaces.
  • a highly preferred embodiment of the present invention is one wherein the cation associated with the anionic surfactant is the same as that associated with the alkali compound.
  • the use of sodium sulfates and/or sodium sulfonates in conjunction with sodium hydroxide, carbonate and/or bicarbonate is highly preferred, particularly in the case where said composition is essentially free of potassium cations from other sources.
  • the major proportion (typically, 90%-98%, by weight) of the compositions herein comprises water as the solubilizing carrier for the ingredients.
  • the compositions also comprise an organic co-solvent.
  • the organic solvent must be one regarded as acceptable for use in the food industry.
  • water-ethanol can be employed and is especially preferred when formulating the basic pH compositions herein.
  • Other compatible, water-soluble, low molecular weight solvents such as glycerol, isopropyl alcohol and propylene glycol can also be used.
  • the solvent level should not exceed 10% in the solution used to clean surfaces, preferably is in the range of about 0.05% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 8%, and even more preferably from about 2% to about 6%.
  • perfume Most hard surface cleaner products contain some perfume to provide an olfactory aesthetic benefit and to cover any "chemical" odor that the product may have.
  • some of the less volatile, high boiling perfume ingredients can provide a fresh and clean impression to the surfaces, and it is sometimes desirable that these ingredients be deposited and present on the dry surface.
  • the term "perfume” is taken to include those ingredients which impart an aesthetic olfactory benefit. Such ingredients can include traditional perfumes, natural extracts, essences, and flavorings.
  • the perfumes are preferably those that are more water-soluble and/or volatile to minimize spotting and filming. All of the perfumes useful in the present invention must be "food grade” or GRAS at the levels employed in order to be consistent with the essential character of the invention. Of particular usefulness are those perfumes which impart a citrus or lime character to the composition. Some of the perfumes useful herein are described in more detail in U.S. Patent 5,108,660, Michael, issued April 28, 1992, at col. 8 lines 48 to 68, and col. 9 lines 1 to 68, and col. 10 lines 1 to 24, said patent, and especially said specific portion, being incorporated by reference.
  • Detergent builders that are efficient for hard surface cleaners and have reduced filming/streaking characteristics at the critical levels are an optional element of the present invention.
  • Organic poly carboxylic acids especially those that are GRAS, such as citric, tartaric, malic, etc. acids, can be used.
  • Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (hereinafter EDTA) is also an effective additive for this purpose.
  • additional optional detergent builders when present, are typically at levels of from about 0.001% to about 0.5%. more preferably from about 0.002% to about 0.3%, most preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.15%.
  • the levels of these additional builders present in the wash solution used for glass should be less than about 0.2%. Therefore, typically, dilution is highly preferred for cleaning glass, while full strength is preferred for general purpose cleaning, depending on the concentration of the product.
  • Formulating the present compositions at high pH reduces the tendency for biological growth of contaminants, such as bacteria, fungi, or molds.
  • Standard food- grade preservatives such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and/or the salts thereof, at a level of from about 0.01% to about 0.2% of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or its sodium and/or potassium salts, can be used although, in general, the basic pH compositions herein do not require a preservative.
  • tocopherols e.g., Vitamin E, or tocopherol acetates
  • alkaline formulations are advantageous, as they do not degrade, nor do they impart a strong color. They inhibit the development of off-odors for extended periods of time so that the need for masking scents is minimized, or eliminated.
  • butylated phenols such as BHT and BHA is also useful, but the quantity should be limited to avoid imparting colors to the compositions.
  • Other food grade antioxidants such as Vitamin C and sulfites, are desirable to prevent deterioration of the compositions by the action of oxygen, but care must be taken since vitamin C can suffer color degradation and sulfites can cause odor problems. Sulfites also have been the target of potential health concerns.
  • SPRAY MEANS e.g., Vitamin E, or tocopherol acetates
  • compositions herein are preferably used by placing them in a package comprising either an aerosol container or a non-aerosol spray device "spray means.”
  • Said spray means is any of the manually activated, preferably "trigger-type,” means for producing a spray of liquid droplets as is known in the art.
