Description

  The present invention relates to a floor water wiping aid, floor water wiping water using the same, and a floor cleaning method using the floor water wiping water.

  In general, floor cleaning is performed by wiping with water in addition to removal of a vacuum cleaner or footwear. Traditional Japanese houses have been raged. In recent years, the level of wiping the floor itself has been decreasing in general households. However, in addition to public facilities such as schools, entrances and lobbies of hotels and theaters are still used to maintain beautifully decorated floors. Wiping is performed. In general households in Southeast Asia including Indonesia, cleaning with water wipes is carried out on a daily basis. As the floor water wiping aid, those for the purpose of detergency and sterilization are known.

  Patent Document 1 is an invention relating to a liquid detergent composition for floors containing a nonionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant. The nonionic surfactant has an HLB of 9 or more, preferably 11-13. Is used.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a floor cleaning composition containing a nonionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant. In paragraph [0031], after cleaning work using a floor cleaning dedicated device, In addition, a method is described in which after washing sewage is collected using a water absorption vacuumer or the like, a residue remaining on the floor surface is wiped using a mop containing water (water wiping operation).

Patent Document 3 discloses a hard surface cleaning composition containing a nonionic surfactant such as an alkylpolyglycoside. In paragraph [0034], a floor cleaning device (floor pad or floor use) is disclosed. (For example, a polisher equipped with a brush) or an automatic floor washer. After the cleaning operation, collect the cleaning sewage using a water absorption vacuumer, etc., and then use a mop moistened with water.

  When wiping the floor with water, it is desirable that the wettability with water is good, it is easy to dry after wiping with water, and no post-wiping is required. However, when water containing a commercially available floor treatment agent is used, the wettability to the floor surface is poor, and the surface after treatment tends to be mottled.
