Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of hard surface cleaning compositions, in particular it relates to products and methods suitable for the removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware.
  • Cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils are amongst the most severe types of soils to remove from surfaces. Traditionally, the removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware requires soaking the soiled object prior to a mechanical action. Consequently, the automatic dishwashing process alone does not provide a satisfactory removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils. Manual dishwashing process requires a tremendous rubbing effort to remove cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils and this can be detrimental to the safety and condition of the cookware/tableware.
  • US-A-5,102,573 provides a method for treating hard surfaces soiled with cooked-on, baked-on or dried-on food residues comprising applying a pre-spotting composition to the soiled article.
  • the composition applied comprises surfactant, builder, amine and solvent.
  • US-A-5,929,007 provides an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition for removing hardened dried or baked-on grease soil deposits.
  • the composition comprises nonionic surfactant, chelating agent, caustic, a glycol ether solvent system, organic amine and anti-redeposition agents.
  • WO-A-94/28108 discloses an aqueous cleaner concentrate composition, that can be diluted to form a more viscous use solution comprising an effective thickening amount of a rod micelle thickener composition, lower alkyl glycol ether solvent and hardness sequestering agent.
  • the application also describes a method of cleaning a food preparation unit having at least one substantially vertical surface having a baked food soil coating. In practice, however, none of the art has been found to be very effective in removing baked-on, polymerized soil from metal and other substrates.
  • a hard surface cleaning composition for removing cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soils (such as grease, meat, dairy, fruit, pasta and any other food especially difficult to remove after the cooking process) from cookware and tableware (including stainless steel, glass, plastic, wood and ceramic objects), wherein the composition comprises a soil swelling agent and a spreading auxiliary.
  • the composition has a liquid surface tension of less than 25 mN/m, preferably less than 24.5 mN/m and more preferably less than 24 mN/m and a pH, as measured in a 10% solution in distilled water, of at least 10.5.
  • the soil swelling agent and spreading auxiliary are present in the compositions herein in effective amounts, i.e., in amounts effective to provide the necessary soil swelling and spreading functionalities.
  • the efficacy of the soil swelling agent at low liquid surface tensions and high pH appears to be related to its ability to act as an agent for swelling, hydrating or otherwise solvating the cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soil.
  • a soil swelling agent is understood herein to be a substance or composition capable of swelling cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soil deposited on a substrate after treating said substrate with the soil swelling agent without the application of external mechanical forces. Soil swelling effect can be quantified by the soil swelling index.
  • the composition of the invention has a pH, as measured in a 10% solution in distilled water, from at least 10.5, preferably from 11 to 14 and more preferably from 11.5 to 13.5.
  • a pH as measured in a 10% solution in distilled water
  • cleaning performance is related in part to the high pH of the cleaning composition.
  • a reserve of alkalinity is desirable in order to maintain a high pH.
  • the reserve alkalinity should not be so high as to risk damaging the skin of the user.
  • the level of surfactant is from 0.05 to 10%, more preferably from 0.09 to 5% and more preferably from 0.1 to 2% by weight.
  • a preferred surfactant for use herein is an amine oxide surfactant.
  • the soil swelling index is a measure of the increased thickness of soil after treatment with a substance or composition in comparison to the soil before treatment with the substance or composition. It is believed, while not being limited by theory, that the thickening is caused, at least in part, by hydration or solvation of the soil. Swelling of the soil makes the soil easier to remove with no or minimal application of force, e.g. wiping, rinsing or manual and automatic dishwashing. The measuring of this change of soil thickness gives the SSI.
  • SSI is determined herein by optical profilometry, using, for example, a Zygo NewView 5030 Scanning White Light Interferometer.
  • a sample of polymerized grease on a brushed, stainless steel coupon is prepared as described hereinbelow with regard to the measurement of polymerized grease removal index.
  • Optical profilometry is then run on a small droplet of approximately 10 ⁇ m thickness of the grease at the edge of the grease sample.
  • the thickness of the soil droplet before (S i ) and after (S f ) treatment is measured by image acquisition by means of scanning white light interferometry.
  • the interferometer (Zygo NewView 5030 with 20X Mirau objective) splits incoming light into a beam that goes to an internal reference surface and a beam that goes to the sample.
  • the beams After reflection, the beams recombine inside the interferometer, undergo constructive and destructive interference, and produce a light and dark fringe pattern.
  • the data are recorded using a CCD (charged coupled device) camera and processed by the software of the interferometer using Frequency Domain Analysis.
  • the dimensions of the image obtained (in pixels) is then converted in real dimension ( ⁇ m or mm).
  • the coupon After the thickness of the soil (S i ) on the coupon has been measured the coupon is soaked in the invention composition at ambient temperature for a given length of time and the thickness of the soil (S f ) is measured repeating the procedure set out above. If necessary, the procedure is replicated over a sufficient member of droplets and samples to provide statistical significance.
  • the function of the spreading auxiliary is to reduce the interfacial tension between the soil swelling agent and soil, thereby increasing the wettability of soils by the soil swelling agents.
  • the spreading auxiliary when added to the compositions herein containing soil swelling agents leads to a lowering in the surface tension of the compositions, preferred spreading auxiliaries being those which lower the surface tension below that of the auxiliary itself.
  • spreading auxiliaries able to render a surface tension below about 25 mN/m, preferably below about 24.5 mN/m and more preferably below about 24 mN/m, and especially below about 23.5 mN/m and a pH, as measured in a 10% solution in distilled water, of at least 10.5. Surface tensions are measured herein at 25°C.
  • the soil swelling agent penetrates and hydrates the soils.
  • the spreading auxiliary facilitates the interfacial process between the soil swelling agent and the soil and aids swelling of the soil.
  • the soil penetration and swelling is believed to weaken the binding forces between soil and substrate.
  • the resulting compositions are particularly affective in removing soils of a polymerized baked-on nature from metallic substrates.
  • a hard surface cleaning composition for the removal of cooked-, baked- or burnt-on polymerised grease from metallic, especially stainless steel cookware and tableware, the composition further comprising a polymerised grease swelling agent.

  • a hard surface cleaning composition is provided for the removal of cooked-, baked- or burnt-on carbohydrate soils from cookware and tableware, wherein the soil swelling agent is a carbohydrate soil swelling agent.

  • the rehydrating agent is applied in the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion and the level effective for rehydration is determined by routine experimentation.
  • compositions herein are characterized by extremely low liquid surface tensions and contact angles on polymerized grease-coated substrates.
  • Spreading auxiliaries for use herein can be selected generally from organic solvents, wetting agents and mixtures thereof.
  • the liquid surface tension of the spreading auxiliary is less than 30 mN/m, preferably less than 28 mN/nz more preferably less than 26 mN/m and more preferably less than 24.5 mN/m.
  • Suitable organic solvents capable of acting as spreading auxiliaries include alcoholic solvents, glycols and glycol derivatives and mixtures thereof. Preferred for use herein are mixtures of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol butyl ether.
