Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deodorant cleaning composition capable of exhibiting excellent deodorizing and cleaning effects against bad smell and stains, and more specifically, it is mainly bred at home. When small animals such as dogs and cats make coarse phase such as feces, urine, vomiting, and drool, it is possible to wipe off the residual odor after cleaning the coarse phase and the stains on the clothes to be washed at the same time. The present invention relates to a deodorant detergent composition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, dogs, cats, rabbits, small birds, hamsters, etc. kept at home are children, and
When you feel unwell, you may have a rough appearance such as feces, urine, vomiting, and drooling.

The malodor generated from these crude phases is generated from organic compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptan and methyl sulfide generated from manure and vomit, or decomposition products of protein and body odor. Examples include lower fatty acids such as butyric acid and valeric acid. Most of the malodors generated from pets and their pets kept at home are mixed odors. In addition, not only a foul odor, but also a stain of the rough phase remains on the object to be washed after these rough phases have adhered, for example, carpet, tatami mat, mat, cushion, blanket, flooring, pillar, and cloth. .

Conventionally, these coarse-phase stains are removed with a tissue, and the spots are wiped with a detergent or the like, and then deodorized with a deodorant spray. The current situation is that the work of odor and cleaning is troublesome, and it is not aesthetically pleasing to the satisfaction.
As a method for eliminating these malodors, a method of using a substance having a very strong fragrance as a deodorant and masking the malodor with the fragrance has been mainly adopted. However, since such a deodorant uses an aroma stronger than the intensity of the malodor, the intensity of the overall odor after mixing with the malodor becomes significantly stronger than the original intensity, and as a result, it feels unpleasant. May be In addition, the smell of the fragrance may be transferred to the object to be washed, which may be inconvenient. Furthermore, pets, who have a sharper sense of smell than humans, often dislike the smell of deodorants.

As a method of eliminating other malodors, a method of utilizing a chemical reaction of ozone, gluoxal, hypochlorite or the like, or by devising the shape of the material to form a foam or a spray, Deodorant with expanded contact points (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 4-30855 and 5-2120)
No. 96, JP-A-3-109072) and the like, but there is a problem in that there is a large limitation in terms of safety for pets and the human body. In addition, the part that has become stained due to the rough phase is treated by wiping it with a wet cloth or a small detergent, but there are many alkaline products such as small detergents, and pets have a habit of "licking". Therefore, it is never safe for pets and humans.
