DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaner which removes and prevents stains on glassware, removes and prevents molds, removes stains on oils, and improves the detergent capacity of chemical detergents using an alcohol extract of Fengxian flower. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The components and disadvantages of a conventional cleaner are as follows. a) An alcohol solution or a surfactant is used to remove the dirt on the surface of the glass product. However, when removing the dirt on the surface of the glass product, the surface of the glass product is sprayed and wiped off with a paper or the like. Was. However, the substance used in the cleaner is a relatively concentrated alcohol solution or a surfactant. All of these are harmful,
When sprayed to be applied to the surface of glassware, the person who handles it sucks. In addition, if a child accidentally swallows it, it is a very dangerous substance that can be fatal, so it must be handled with care. The dirt on the surface of the glass product includes fine dust due to static electricity, hand oil, and the like, but most of it is a composite dust of fine dust and hand oil due to static electricity. Using a conventional cleaner, it is difficult to remove the stains of proteins contained in hand oil. However, this protein causes the growth of glass products, especially molds such as lenses.
There has been no cleaner that decomposes and removes this protein to prevent the generation of static electricity for a long time. b) Molds are removed and prevented by using the oxidizing power of chlorine-based and oxygen-based chemicals, but chlorine-based molds are good at removing molds, but they are dangerous for those who handle them. When combined, toxic chlorine gas is emitted. Moreover, it cannot be used for leather. There has never been a cleaner that is safe for humans and can be used on leather. c) A strong oil-specific surfactant is used to remove oil stains, but sticking oil is very difficult to remove.
Moreover, it was highly toxic. Gentle to humans without danger,
Moreover, there has never been a cleaner with great effect. d) Phosphate compounds are used to increase the detergent capacity of chemical detergents, and these phosphate compounds are a major cause of red tide. Environmentally friendly, improve detergent capacity,
Moreover, there has been no cleaner effective as a softener.

A) Removal of dirt on the surface of glassware. Most clothing these days are made of synthetic fibers that are prone to static electricity. Therefore, a little friction generates static electricity throughout the body. When dealing with glassware wearing such clothing,
Static electricity is charged to glass products, dust is attached, and it becomes easy to become dirty.
In addition, since many plastics are used for a lens body of a camera, which is one of glass products, static electricity is more easily generated and dust is more likely to be attached. In addition, the stain on the glass, in which the smoke of tobacco is attached to the dusty glass product, is also one of the stains that is difficult to remove. Therefore,
Easy to clean, safe, low risk, and
Static electricity is hard to be generated over a long period of time, which is a cause of glass product dirt.Even if it is difficult to remove complex dirt of dust and hand oil caused by static electricity or hard-to-remove dirt with dust and cigarette smoke To remove the cause of mold development,
An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaner capable of preventing the occurrence of mold. b) Removal and prevention of molds. It decomposes using the oxidizing power of chlorine-based and oxygen-based chemicals, which poses a danger to operators. It is a very dangerous substance that emits toxic chlorine gas when combined with acids. Moreover, there is a drawback that it cannot be used for leather. Therefore, there is no danger, mold is easily removed, the cause of mold generation is fundamentally removed, and a safe and low-risk cleaner is provided. c) Removal of oil stains. It is intended to provide a cleaner that is very easy to remove oil that is stuck and that has low toxicity. d) Improving the detergent capacity of the chemical detergent. An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaner that does not contain a phosphorus compound that causes red tide due to an increase in detergent capacity, and that also provides flexibility to clothing.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has made intensive studies on alcohol extracts of plants such as "yomogi", "harp" and "Fengsenhana".
Fengsen balsamine
L. ) Alcohol extract was found to be the most effective. Fengsenhana alcohol extract contains various substances with naphthoquinones as the main component. However, PH is neutral and has antistatic, bactericidal, and proteolytic effects. I thought.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. First, the method for producing the alcohol extract of Fengxian flower used in the present invention is described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 28589/1994. However, to briefly explain, Fengxian flower belongs to the genus Trichoderma sect. It is an annual plant (including seeds) and uses the whole plant (seed may be used). The whole plant is collected from summer to autumn and used as it is or dried in the sun, and then immersed in an alcohol-containing aqueous solution having an alcohol content of 10 degrees or more.

The alcohol used in the present invention is preferably in the form of an aqueous solution containing an ethyl alcohol having a temperature of 10 ° C. or higher in order to extract the active ingredient of the whole plant of Hosenbana. , Synthetic liquor, white liquor (shochu) and the like may be used. The mixing ratio of white liquor and sun-dried phoenix flowers is preferably 2 to 5 parts by weight with respect to 10 parts by weight of white liquor. Soak for 2 weeks to 6 months, preferably for 6 months to 1 month.
After immersion, the residue is separated by means such as microfiltration to obtain a clear Fengsen flower alcohol extract. The Fengxian flower alcohol extract obtained in this way is described in the list of existing additive list related laws and regulations in May 1996 with the revision of the Food Sanitation Law, edited by the Food Chemistry Division of the Ministry of Health and Welfare at the Ministry of Health and Welfare. It is safe because it is a substance permitted as an inhibitor.

[0007] The glass products mentioned here refer to camera lenses, mirrors, window glasses, case glasses such as dolls, CRT glass, and the like. In addition, “Yomogi” and “harp” may be added to the Hosensen alcohol extract.

Example 1 100 parts by weight of white liquor at 35 degrees is added to 20 parts by weight of dried phoenix flowers and immersed for 2 months. After immersion, filtration was performed to remove the residue, and the filtrate was subjected to precision filtration to obtain 90 parts by weight of a clear Fengxiang alcohol extract. This liquid was diluted with an equal volume of distilled water to obtain a cleaner. Apply a small amount of this solution to the nonwoven and wipe the dirty lens. After a while, gently wiping with a dry non-woven fabric results in a very clean finish without damaging the coated lens. It has been 5 months using this camera, but there is no static dust. When the moldy lens was wiped with this solution, the mold surface floated on the lens surface and damaged the coated lens.

Example 2 Using the alcohol extract of Fengsen flower obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, it was used for removing and preventing molds. Mold was grown on the leather, wiped with the alcohol extract of Fengsen flower of the present invention, and left for about 1 hour to wipe off moisture. For comparison, wiping was performed using an 80% alcohol solution, and after standing for about 1 hour, the water was wiped off. Then, it was put in a plastic bag and left at room temperature, and the state of mold growing on the leather was examined. As a result, although the leather wiped with the alcohol extract of Fengxian flower of the present invention did not grow mold even after 3 months, the leather wiped with the alcohol solution of 80% was moldy in 7 days for comparison. Has grown again.

Example 3 The alcohol extract of Fengseng flower obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 was used to remove oil stains. The alcohol extract of Fengsen flower of the present invention was put in a part of a gas range with oil that had been stuck on paper and stuck for 30 minutes. For comparison, a special detergent for removing oil from a major detergent maker was added to a paper and stuck on the paper for 30 minutes. as a result,
Using the alcohol extract of Fengsen Flower of the present invention, the oil stuck to the gas range was lifted up, and when wiped, the oil was removed cleanly and became a stainless metal surface. For comparison, a surfactant used exclusively for oil removal by a major detergent manufacturer could not remove oil because it was insufficient for one hour, and had to be removed with a spatula.

Example 4 Using the alcohol extract of Fengsen flower obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, an experiment was conducted to determine whether the detergent capacity could be increased by using the alcohol extract of Fengsen flower prepared in Example 1 in a chemical detergent. Did. Using a detergent specially designed for a washing machine of a major detergent manufacturer, half of the specified amount of the surfactant was added to 60 ml of water using the washing machine and the Fengxian alcohol extract of the present invention in 6 liters.
Milliliters were put into it and an oiled cotton cloth. For comparison, half the specified amount of surfactant in 60 liters of water was placed in a washing machine, into which a similarly oiled cotton cloth was placed. And it washed for 5 minutes with the automatic washing machine, and the degree of dirt removal was compared. As a result, the cotton cloth containing the alcohol extract of Fengxian flower of the present invention completely removed oil stains and became beautiful, and had no oily smell. Further, the cotton cloth was washed 10 times under the above-mentioned conditions, and the touch was examined. Ten out of ten persons answered that it was soft. For comparison, a cotton cloth stained with oil, which was performed only with a surfactant, did not completely remove the stain and had an oily smell. The cotton cloth was washed 10 times under the above conditions, and the feel was examined. Ten out of ten persons answered that they were rough.

[0012]

The effect of the alcohol extract of Fengxian flower very useful as a cleaner is that the solution is neutral. It is a mixed solution of alcohol and water. It has an antistatic action, a bactericidal action, and a proteolytic action, and it is thought that a synergistic effect of these actions exerts a better effect. The effects of the above operations are summarized as follows.

1. Removal of stains and prevention of stains on glassware a) Oil of human hands attached to glassware can be wiped off by applying a small amount of Fengsenhana alcohol extract to the nonwoven fabric,
After a while, gently wiping it off with a dry non-woven fabric will cause the protein contained in the oil to be degraded and clean due to the proteolytic action contained in the Fengxian alcohol extract. Accordingly, it is possible to completely remove the mold that grows on the glass product. For example, if you wear glasses that are wiped with this cleaner, you can see it very brightly and clearly, indicating how clean the lens is. b) Hosensen alcohol extract has a bactericidal action,
Even if protein remains after wiping with a cleaner, mold is difficult to grow, which helps to prevent mold. c) Fengsenhana alcohol extract has an action of preventing static electricity, and thus glass products wiped with Fengsenhana alcohol extract can prevent the generation of static electricity for a long period of time. Therefore, dust does not easily adhere to the CRT of a television for a long period of time. d) Since the Fengxian flower alcohol extract is originally a food additive, it is safe even if it gets into your mouth with your hand or if you drink it. e) Since the liquidity is neutral, there is no concern about corrosion of the lens coating and metal. f) Since it is a mixed solution of alcohol and water, it can dissolve both water-soluble substances and oil-based substances, so that dirt can be easily removed. g) Since the cleaner contains alcohol, it dries as soon as it is applied to glassware and wiped off. h) Since the action of the cleaner is strong, it is sufficient to use a small amount.

2. Removal and prevention of molds a) Leather products and mold on the joints of tiles can be wiped with a cloth of Fengxian flower alcohol extract and wiped off with a dry cloth after a while. The protein, which is the cell membrane of the mold, is degraded by the decomposition action, and the oils and proteins on the leather products and tile joints are also decomposed softly and beautifully. Therefore, it is possible to completely remove the mold that grows on the joints of leather products and tiles. b) Hosensen alcohol extract has a bactericidal action,
Even if protein remains after wiping with a cleaner, mold is difficult to grow, which helps to prevent mold. c) Since the Hosenka alcohol extract is originally a food additive, there is very little danger even if it gets into your mouth with your hand or if you drink it. d) Since the liquidity is neutral, there is no fear of damaging the leather product. e) Since it is a mixed solution of alcohol and water, it is easy to cleanly remove dirt because it can dissolve both water-soluble substances and oily substances. f) Since the cleaner contains alcohol, it dries as soon as it is applied to the leather product and wiped off. g) Since the action of the cleaner is strong, it is sufficient to use a small amount.

3. Removal of oil stains, a) Even in a gas range with stuck oil, the oil film can be lifted up in a short time and the oil can be removed neatly.
In addition, even if it is very difficult to remove the stick from a pot or the like, the use of the alcohol extract of Hosenhana of the present invention will lift the sticky stick and remove it neatly. It is thought that these effects are due to the protein decomposing action contained in the Hosensen alcohol extract, and the oil and the protein contained in the burnt oil are decomposed and become beautiful. b) Since the Fengxian alcohol extract is originally a food additive, there is very little danger even if it gets into your mouth with your hand or if you drink it. c) Since it is a mixed solution of alcohol and water, it can dissolve both water-soluble substances and oil-based substances, so that dirt can be easily removed. e) The cleaner dries immediately after wiping because it contains alcohol. f) Since the action of the cleaner is strong, it is sufficient to use a small amount.

4. Increasing the detergent capacity of chemical detergents a) The addition of Fengxian flower alcohol extract to a washing machine-specific surfactant increases the detergent's ability because of the protein-degrading action contained in Fengxian flower alcohol extract. This is because it breaks down oils and proteins, and the same effect can be obtained even if the washing machine-specific surfactant is washed in half the amount of the conventional one. b) Phosphoric acid compounds are used to increase the detergent capacity of chemical detergents, but since this phosphoric acid compound is not required, a major cause of red tide can be eliminated. c) When added at the time of washing cotton and wool, the dried clothes are soft after washing and no softener is required. d) Since Hosenka alcohol extract has a bactericidal action,
There is also a disinfecting effect on clothing. e) The alcohol extract of Hosenhana has an action to prevent static electricity, so if you add it during washing of chemical fibers, static electricity is less likely to occur and you are wearing clothes, and the clothes will cling to the sound of crackling cracks and feet. The discomfort of saying that is gone. f) Alcohol extract of Fengxian flower is originally a food additive, so it is safe even if it gets in your mouth with your hand or if you drink it.
