Description

RINSE FIELD OF THE INVENTION including optimized and implements substrates for use in cleaning * rt hard surfaces and / or maintaining their appearance and hygiene, and articles 15 comprising such compositions, concentrates, wipes and the like, • the association with instructions on how to use to provide a superior performance. These compositions, cloths and implement designs, together with the specific instructions for use, are advantageous for use on hard surfaces including bath surfaces, glass surfaces, backstops, walls and floors. Such compositions usually contain hydrophilic polymer, detergent surfactant, organic cleaning solvent and optional volatile buffers, perfume, antimicrobials, detergency builders and the like. ~ and your BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Is well established use of detergent compositions comprising surfactants soluble synthetic organic detergent, "* polymers and cleaning solvents for cleaning hard surfaces, for example in bathrooms. Known for this purpose liquid detergent compositions comprising organic solvents cleaners, detergent surfactant and optionally builders for detergent and / or abrasive. the compositions can be acidic for improved hard water deposits removal. the liquid cleaning compositions are usually those which are preferred, since they have the advantage that can be applied to hard surfaces in pure or concentrated form, so that a relatively high level, for example, of surfactant material and / or organic solvent is supplied directly to the stain, however, the solid compositions can also be used to form a cleaning solution when uyen with water. Concentrated liquid cleaning compositions can also help improve the value analysis for consumers by economizing on packaging costs, where the concentrated products are intended to be used in a more diluted form. A concentrate, for example a 10X filler, can also provide additional comfort to the consumer in that it lasts longer, weighs less and occupies less space than a 1X product. Liquid cleaning compositions in the form of a "cloth" -h * f They can also provide comfort by allowing the consumer to use one cloth at a time and dispose of it. The implements are important to the extent that Se BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 15 The present invention relates to compositions "* hard surface cleaners, preferably liquid, suitable for removing and / or preventing accumulation of stains commonly encountered on floors, walls, back covers, glass and / or bath such 20 compositions prefepblemente comprise cos hidrofí polymers, to return t <, to the cleaned surface hydrophilic and / or specific surfactant, preferably alkylpolyglycoside surfactant, which is selected to minimize spotting / filming, and optionally solvents maintain the cleanliness of hard surfaces, especially those that are present in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, etc., where one can, ** treat the surface and let the treatment solution dry without rubbing and / or rinsing, example, the treatment is preferably a treatment with no rinsing. The term "treatment with no rinsing" for example, cleaning hard surfaces without rinsing, as used herein, means that at least a substantial part of the surface treatment solution is dried on the treated surface. Such treatment solutions are preferably highly diluted. Usually, after the surface is used again, it is then exposed to water or another cleaning solution. Preferably, the surface is one that is usually exposed to water on a regular basis, for example in showers, tubs, tarjas, etc. The invention also relates to compositions and methods of use in which floors, backings, walls and the like are cleaned by applying a treatment solution which is then substantially removed by absorption and / or rubbing, while leaving a level low to moderate treatment liquid which then dries. Examples of such methods include applications such as the use of pre-dried cloths (comprising a substrate and aqueous compositions incorporated in the substrate) and / or absorbent articles used together with cleaning solutions. The use of these implements facilitates ease of use and can be advantageous to obtain not only the desired final result but excellent hygiene. Since pre-moistened pads or absorbent pads are usually discarded after each use, their subsequent use and disposal reduces the risk of harboring the implement and reallocating germs on the surface that is cleaned, which often happens with sponges, rags and traditional reusable mops. Descriptions of pre-moistened cloths and pads J * Disposable cleaners are found in the following. Acid versions of current hard surface cleaning compositions can remove soap stains and hard water marks. The compositions may have disinfectant properties which are obtained through the choice of antibacterial active substances, which include citric acid and may be used with or without additives such as hydrogen peroxide for additional mold / mildew prevention benefits. As stated in the foregoing, the compositions preferably incorporate one or more hydrophilic polymers which are attached to the surface to render it hydrophilic, as measured, for example, by the contact angle for the improved wetting properties of viscosity control. * * * Hard surface cleaning compositions in the present, which contain the hydrophilic polymers, provide a superior surface appearance, especially in an application with • no rinsing. Therefore, in the context of an application by • * # "daily shower" spray, the compositions herein are sprayed directly on the tiles, more preferably on the wet tiles and then allowed to dry. Upon the next exposure to the water, for example during a bath, the dry residue, although not visible, allows an even more rapid wetting of the surface. Consequently, the product works better, when it is not rinsed or removed by scrubbing after use, the subsequent cleaning procedure. Additionally, the fact that it has not been rinsed or rubbed, or that it is limited, is related after the product is applied and improves performance with continuous use. One of the benefits of the preferred polymers in the present is that they finally reach a steady state concentration '& on the hard surfaces in which they are sprayed. No build-up occurs because the preferred polymers are water-soluble, and once the steady-state concentrations are reached, "fresh" polymer is deposited on the surface which is displaced by the polymer which is dissolved by the solution. It can improve the angle reduction of water contact over several cycles, even for compositions that essentially do not contain surfactant. In the context of a wall, back cover, wall cleaner or the like, the steady state concentration obtained after applying a solution composition, scrubbing and removing a substantial amount by absorption and allowing a low to moderate level of treatment to dry, It is also important. In these cases, the low level of residue (the residue is defined as non-volatile active substances) makes cleaning the next time even easier by providing better wetting with respect to the subsequent application, thus reducing the scratching potential / film formation by minimizing the dehydration of the solution, which is particularly important on very hydrophobic surfaces. This benefit of effective wetting provided by the polymer at low concentrations also allows the formulator to keep the other ingredients in the composition, such as the surfactants, which are usually related to wetting, to a minimum. This reduces the possibility of obtaining a film that can stain and / or cause adhesions on the surfaces due to the presence on the surface of i, too much active compound and / or other material. This is important, because it allows less adhesions with prolonged use of the product. Accordingly, the cleaning process preferably is a method which comprises using a treatment solution (preferably a ready-to-use solution) comprising: i- "and / or increasing the surface hydrophilicity, up to about 0.5%, preferably about 0.005% to about 0.4%, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition, of hydrophilic polymer, preferably substantive, which returns to the hydrophilic treated surface, and which preferably is a polymer that is select from the group consisting of: polystyrene sulfonate; polyvinyl pyrrolidone; copolymer of polyvinylpyrrolidone and acrylic acid; sodium salt of the polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymer and acrylic acid; potassium salt 10 of the polyvinylpyrrolidone copolymer and acrylic acid; * "" Polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinylimidazoline, polyvinylpipdine, polyvinylpyridine n-oxide, and mixtures thereof, and most preferably polyvinylpyridine n-oxide, optionally, but preferably, a 2 </ i> effective amount of primary detergent surfactant , preferably from or 15 about 0.005% to about 0.5%, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.4%, more preferably from about 0.025% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition, the primary detergent surfactant preferably comprises a surfactant alkyl polysaccharide detergent having an alkyl group containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, more preferably from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms, and from about 1 to about 4, preferably from about 1 a J * about 1.5 saccharide portions per molecule and / or a combination consisting of alkyl polysaccharide detergent surfactant having an alkyl group containing from about 8 to S ?, about 18 carbon atoms, most preferably from "* • about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms, and about 1 to about 4, preferably from about 1 to about 1.5 portions of saccharide per *, < ?

The improved appearance of the surface is the result of the use of the hydrophilic polymer and / or the specific surfactant, especially the alkyl polysaccharide, and especially the use of only low concentrations of all the ingredients.For "polishing" methods in? t no rinsing and / or limited, the specific alkyl polysaccharide is important for appearance, even without the polymer present. Concentrates of the previous product can be made by reducing the amount of water. The concentrates of the solution of the present invention (ie products designed to be used diluted) have concentrations of active substances that are accumulated by the established concentration factor. In a preferred embodiment, the concentrates come with a measuring device (usually the lid or a graduated bottle) to assist the consumer in making accurate dilutions. Examples of concentrates of the present invention include, but are not limited to $ * t > 3X, 5X and 10X products, according to the specification levels Preferred compositions herein may contain only polymer and perfume since the polymers, especially the preferred amine oxide polymers, are capable of solubilization / suspension of substantial amounts of even water-insoluble perfume. However, customarily, the surfactant will also be present. Compositions for use with disposable pads are described in the following. ? * DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 15 The hard surface cleaning compositions of the present invention are especially useful for maintaining the appearance of hard surfaces and the accumulation of difficult to remove stains that are commonly found on floors and / or in the bathroom. These include < 4, "- 20 hard water spots, fatty acids, tinted glycols, lipids, insoluble fatty acid soaps, encased particulate material, embedded food and the like, detergent compositions can be used on many different types of surfaces. , such as ceramic materials, fiberglass, glass, polyurethane, metal surfaces, plastic surfaces and laminates of all of the above. to. Hydrophilic Polymer In most embodiments of the invention, polymeric material that improves the hydrophilicity of the surface being treated is essential. This increase in hydrophilicity provides an improved final appearance by providing a "lamination" of the water from the surface and / or dispersion of water on the surface, and this effect is preferably observed when the surface is re-wetted and even when subsequently subsequently dried. of rewetting. In the context of a product designed to be used as a daily product for the shower, the "laminate" effect is notable particularly because most of the treated surfaces are vertical surfaces. Therefore, benefits have been observed in glass, ceramic material and even in surfaces more difficult to wet such as porcelain enamel. When the water "laminates" uniformly out of the surface and / or diffuses on the surface, it minimizes the formation, for example, of "hard water spots" that form when the water dries. For a product designed to be used in the context of a floor cleaner, the polymer improves surface wetting and aids in cleaning performance.

The substantivity of the polymer is beneficial insofar as it prolongs the benefits of rolling and cleaning. Another important characteristic of the preferred polymers is the lack of residues when they are dried. The compositions comprising preferred polymers dry more uniform over floors while promoting a final result with little 0 No turbidity.

Many materials can provide the laminate and the benefits against staining, but the preferred materials are polymers that they contain hydrophilic amine oxide groups. Polymers containing other hydrophilic groups such as a sulfonate, pyrrolidone and / or carboxylate groups can also be used. Examples of the desired poly-sulfonate polymer include polyvinyl sulfonate and, more preferably, polystyrene sulfonate, such as those sold by Monomer-Polymer Dajac (1675 Bustleton Pike, Feasterville, Pennsylvania 19053). A typical formula is like, follow.

- [CH (C6H4SO3Na) -CH2] n-CH (C6H5) -CH2- wherein n is the number to provide the appropriate molecular weight as discussed in the following.

Typical molecular weights are approximately 10,000 to about 1,000,000, preferably from about 200,000 to about 700,000. The preferred polymers that contain pyrrolidone functionalities include polyvinylpyrrolidone, quaternized pyrrolidone derivatives (such as Gafquat 755N from International Specialty Products), and pyrrolidone-containing copolymers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone / dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (available from ISP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone / acrylate (available from BASF). Other materials can also provide substantivity and hydrophilicity and include cationic F * * P materials that also contain hydrophilic groups and polymers that * # contain multiple ether linkages. Cationic materials include cationic sugar * and / or starch derivatives and the typical block copolymer detergent surfactants are based on blends of polypropylene oxide and ethylene oxide, and are representative of these polyether materials. The -t * polyether materials, however, are less substantive. Preferred polymers comprise water-soluble amine-* amine moieties. It is considered that the positive partial charge of the amine oxide group can act to adhere the polymer to the surface of the surface substrate, thereby allowing the water to "laminate" more easily. The amine oxide portion can also be bonded with hydrogen to a hard surface substrate, such as ceramic tiles, glass, fiberglass, porcelain enamel, linoleum, unwaxed tiles and other hard surfaces commonly found in consumer's homes. Insofar as the anchoring of the polymer promotes a better "laminate", materials with a higher molecular weight are preferred. An increased molecular weight improves the effectiveness and effectiveness of the oxide-based polymer of fe + t #? - amine. Preferred polymers of this invention have one or more units! monomers containing at least one N-oxide group. At least about 10%, preferably more than about 50%, more preferably more than about 90% of the monomers which form the polymers containing an amine oxide group. These polymers can be described by the general formula: P (B) where each P is selected from portions «t homopolymerizable and copolymerizable which bind to form the > * V 10 polymer backbone, preferably vinyl portions, for example -s »t * C (R) 2-C (R) 2 wherein each R is h, alkyl (ene) of 1 to 12 carbon atoms * ** (preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms), ar (ln) of 6 to 12 carbon atoms and / or B; B is a portion selected from alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, linear and cyclic, substituted and unsubstituted, alkylene of 1 to 15 12 carbon atoms, heterocyclic of 1 to 12 carbon atoms and aromatic groups of 6 to 12 carbon atoms wherein at least one of the B portions has at least one amine oxide group (-NO); wherein the polymer usually has at least about 10% to about 90% of monomers containing a group of 20 amine oxides; and the average molecular weight of the polymer is from about 2000 to about 50,000, preferably from about 5,000 to about 250,000, and most preferably from about 7,500 to about 200,000.

, «'Surface of substrate little pleasant for the consumers. Preferred polymers * include poly (4-v? N? Lypyridine N-oxide) (PVNO) polymers, by "**" - example, formed by polymerization of monomers including the following portion: where the average molecular weight of the polymer is about 2,000 to about 500,000, preferably "*" from about 5,000 to about 400,000, and more preferably from about 7,500 to about 300,000. In general, polymers of higher molecular weight are preferred. Frequently, higher molecular weight polymers allow the use of lower concentrations of the wetting polymer, which may provide benefits in applications of floor cleaners. The desirable molecular weight range of the polymers useful in the present invention is in contrast to what has been found in the art in relation to additives. based on polycarboxylate, polystyrene sulfonate and polyether, which prefer molecular weights in the range of 400,000 to 1,500,000. The lower molecular weights for the preferred amine poly-oxide polymers of the present invention are due to greater difficulty in making these polymers at a higher molecular weight. The concentration of amine oxide polymer will normally be less than about 0.5%, preferably from about 0.005% to about 0.4%, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition / end use solution . Some of the non-limiting examples of homopolymers and "f & Copolymers which can be used as water-soluble polymers of the present invention are: adipic acid-dimethylaminohydroxypropyl diethylenetriamine copolymer; adipic acid / epoxypropyl diethylenetriamine copolymer; polyvinyl alcohol; methacryloylethylbetaine / methacrylate copolymer; ethylacrylate / methacrylate copolymer * ¿. J 'of methyl / methacrylic acid / acrylic acid; polyamine resins; polyquaternary amine resins; poly (etenylformamide); poly (vinylamine) hydrochloride; poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine 6%); poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine 12%); poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine hydrochloride 6%); poly (vinyl alcohol-co- 12% vinylamine hydrochloride); and mixtures thereof. Preferably * the copolymer and / or homopolymers are selected from the group consisting of adipic acid / dimethylaminohydroxypropyl diethylenetriamine copolymer; poly (vinylpyrrolidone / dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate); polyvinyl alcohol; ethyl acrylate / methyl methacrylate / methacrylic acid / acrylic acid copolymer; methacryloylethylbetaine / methacrylate copolymer; amine resins 1 policuaternarias; poly (etenylformamide); poly (vinylamine) hydrochloride; poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine 6%); poly (vinyl alcohol co-vinylamine 12%); poly (vinyl alcohol hydrochloride-co-vinylamine 6%); poly (vinyl alcohol hydrochloride-co-vinylamine 12%); and mixtures thereof. The polymers useful in the present invention can be selected from the group consisting of copolymers of hydrophilic monomers. The polymer can be random or block linear copolymers, and mixtures thereof. The term "hydrophilic" is used in the present consistent with its usual meaning of affinity for water. As used in the 10 present, in relation to monomeric units and polymeric materials that include the copolymers, the term "hydrophilic" means substantially water-soluble. In this regard, "substantially water-soluble" will refer to a material that is soluble in distilled water (or equivalent), at 25 ° C, at a concentration of about 0.2% by weight, and that is preferably 15 soluble to about 1% by weight. The terms "soluble", "solubility" and the like for purposes of the present, correspond to the maximum concentration of monomer or polymer, as applicable, which can be dissolved in water or other solvents to form a homogeneous solution, as is well understood by those skilled in the art. Non-limiting examples of useful hydrophilic monomers are unsaturated organic monocarboxylic and polycarboxylic acids such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, maleic acid and its semi-esters, and taconic acid; nonsaturated alcohols such as alcohol unsaturated amides such as acrylamides, for example N, N-dimethylacrylamide and N-t-butylacrylamide; hydroxyethyl methacrylate; methacrylate of. 5-dimethylaminoethyl, salts of acids and amines mentioned above, and * - *, similar, and mixtures thereof, Some preferred hydrophilic monomers are acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, N, N-dimethiacrylamide, N, N-dimethylmethacrylamide, Nt-butylacrylamide, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, and mixtures thereof. «Fc The polycarboxylate polymers are those that are formed by the polymerization of monomers, at least some of which contain carboxylic functionality. Common monomers include acrylic acid, maleic acid, ethylene, vinyl pyrrolidone, methacrylic acid, methacryloylethylbetaine and the like. Preferred polymers for substantivity are those that have higher molecular weights. For example, polyacrylic acids which have molecular weights less than about 10,000 are not particularly substantive and therefore do not normally provide * > hydrophilicity for three rewetings with all compositions, although with higher concentrations and / or certain surfactants such as amphoteric and / or zwitterionic detergent surfactants, molecular weights of less than about 1,000 may provide certain results. In general, polymers must have molecular weights of more than 20,000, more preferably more than about 300,000, and even more preferably more than about 400,000. It has also been found that higher molecular weight polymers, for example those having molecular weights of more than about 3,000,000, are extremely difficult to formulate and are less effective in providing beneficial anti-spotting benefits compared to polymers of lower molecular weight. Accordingly, the molecular weight will normally be, especially for polyacrylates, from about 20,000 to about 3,000,000; preferably from about 20,000 to about 2,500,000; more preferably from about 300,000 to about 2,000,000 and even more preferably from about 400,000 to about 1,500,000. An advantage of some polycarbonate polymers is the detergency builder effectiveness of such polymers. Although such polymers do not increase film / scratch formation, like other detergent builders, they provide improved cleaning effectiveness over typical, "hard to remove" stains containing particulate material. Some polymers, especially polycarboxylate polymers, - thicken the compositions which are aqueous liquids. This may be desirable. However, when the compositions are placed in containers < with sprinkler trigger devices, the compositions are desirable in a manner not so thick as to require excessive trigger pressure. í? Usually, the low shear viscosity should be less than about 200 cp, preferably less than about 100 -i? cp, more preferably less than about 50 cp. However, it may be desirable to have thick compositions to inhibit the > i * flow of the composition of the surface, especially vertical surfaces. The non-limiting examples of polymers for use in the present invention include the following: poly (vinyl pyrrolidone / acrylic acid) sold under the name Acrylidone ™ by ISP and pol (Acrylic acid) sold under the name Accumer R by Rohm & Haas. Other suitable materials include sulfonated polystyrene polymers sold under the name Versaflex ™, sold by National Starch and Chemical Company, especially Versaflex® 7000. The concentration of the polymeric material will be less than about 0.5%, preferably about 0.01% by weight. about 0.4%, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.3%. In general, materials with lower molecular weight such as poly (acrylic acid) with lower molecular weight, for example those having molecular weights less than '; Approximately 10,000, and especially about 2,000, do not provide good anti-spotting benefits when t? rewet, especially at lower concentrations, for example, of about 0 02%. One can use only the most effective materials at lower concentrations. In order to use materials of weight *. ? If the molecular structure is smaller, substantivity should be increased, for example, by adding groups that provide improved binding to the surface, such as cationic groups, of the materials to be used at higher concentrations, for example, more than about 0.05%. b. Surfactant When the polymer is not present in the compositions herein, the compositions will usually have one of the preferred surfactants present, such as alkylpolysaccharides or non-ionic surfactants, including alkyl ethoxylates. Preferred surfactants for use herein are alkyl polysaccharides which are described in the U.S. Patents. 5,776,872, Cleasing compositions, (cleaning compositions) issued on 7? July 1998 for Giret, Michel Joseph; Langlois, Anne; and Duke, Roland Philip; 5,883,059, Three in one ultra mild lathering antibacterial liquid personal cleasing composition, (ultramoderated liquid personal soap antibacterial cleansing composition, three in one), issued March 16, 1999 to Furman, Christopher Alien; Giret, Michel Joseph; and Dunbar, James Charles; et al .; 5,883,062, Manual diswashing compositions (hand-washing compositions), issued March 16, 1999 for Addison, Michael Crombie; Foley, Peter Robert; and Allsebrook, Andrew Michael; and 5,906,973, issued May 25, 1999, Process for vertical cleaning or inclined hard surfaces (process for cleaning vertical hard surfaces or inclined) by Ouzounis, Dimitrios and Nierhaus, Wolfgang, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Alkypolysaccharides suitable for use herein are described in the U.S.A. No. 4,565,647, Filling, issued January 21, 1986, which is incorporated herein by reference, which has a hydrophobic group containing from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms, preferably from about 10 to about 16 atoms of carbon, and a polysaccharide, for example a polyglycoside hydrophilic group. For acidic or alkaline cleaning compositions / solutions suitable for use in non-rinsing methods, the alkyl polysaccharide preferably comprises a broad distribution of chain lengths, as these provide the best combination of wetting, cleaning and little residue when dried. This "broad distribution" is defined by at least about 50% of the chain length mixture comprising from about 10 carbon atoms to about 16 carbon atoms. Preferably, the alkyl group of the alkyl polysaccharide consists of a mixture of chain lengths, preferably from about 6 carbon atoms to about 18 carbon atoms, more preferably from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms, and a hydrophilic group which contains from about 1 to about 1.5 saccharide groups, preferably glycosides, per molecule. A wide mix of lengths lower chain length (ie 8 to 10 carbon atoms or e to 5 carbon atoms). It has also been found that a polyglycoside of preferred alkyl of 8 to 16 carbon atoms provides improved perfume solubility compared to polyglycosides of narrower chain as well as other preferred surfactants including alkyl ethoxylate of 8 to 14 carbon atoms. You can use any 10 reducing saccharide containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms, for example Glucose, galactose and galactosyl portions can be substituted for the glucosyl portions. (Optionally the hydrophobic group binds at positions 2, 3, 4, etc., and therefore provides a glucose or galactose at t 4% opposition to a glycoside or galactoside). The linkages between saccharides can be, for example, between a position of the additional saccharide units and positions 2, 3, 4 and / or 6 in the preceding saccharide units. The glycosyl is preferably derived from glucose, but optionally, although less desirable, there may be Pohalkylene oxide chain linking the hydrophobic portion and the polysaccharide portion. The preferred alkylene oxide is ethylene oxide. The groups Typical hydrophobes include alkyl groups, whether saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched containing from 8 to 18, preferably from 10 to 16 carbon atoms. Preferably, the alkyl group is a saturated straight-chain alkyl group. The alkyl group may contain up to about 3 hydroxyl groups and / or the polyalkylene oxide chain * may contain up to about 10, preferably less than 5 * e * alkylene oxide portions. The suitable alkyl polysaccharides are Octyl, nonyldecyl, undecyldecyl, ecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl and octadecyl, diglucosides, lycosides, tetraglucosides, pentaglucosides and hexaglucosides and / or galactoses. The Suitable mixtures include coconut alkyl, diglycoside, lycoside, * -tetraglucoside and pentaglucosides and tetraglucosides, pentaglucosides and 10 Tallow alkyl hexglucosides. To prepare these compounds, alcohol or alkylpolyethoxyalcohol is first formed and then reacted with glucose, or a source of glucose, to form the glucoside (linkage at position 1). The additional glycosyl units can then be linked between their 1-position and the preceding glycosyl units at the 2, 3, 4 and / or 6 position, preferably predominantly at the 2-position. In the alkyl polyglycosides, the alkyl portions are they can be derived from the usual sources such as fats, oils or chemically produced alcohols while their sugar portions are generated from hydrolyzed polysaccharides. The alkyl polyglycosides are the product of combination of fatty alcohol and sugars such as glucose with the number of glucose units defining the relative hydrophilicity. As discussed in the foregoing, sugar units can be further alkoxylated before or after the reaction with the fatty alcohols. Ta alkyl are described in detail in WO 86/05199 technical alkyl polyglycosides generally uniformly uniform, but represent mixture mixtures of monosaccharides and different oligosaccharides. alkyl (also sometimes referred to as "APG") are preferred for the purposes of the invention since they provide additional improvements in surface appearance relative to other surfactants. The glycoside portions are preferably glucose portions. The alkyl substituent preferably it is a saturated or unsaturated alkyl portion containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably from about 8 to about 10 carbon atoms or a mixture of such alkyl portions. Alkyl polyglycosides of 8 to 16 carbon atoms are commercially available (for example, Simusol ™ surfactants from Seppic Corporation, 75 Quai d'Orsay, 75321 Paris, Cedex 7, France, and Glucopon R 425 available from Henkel). However, it has been found that the purity of the alkyl polyglycoside can also affect performance, particularly the end result for certain applications, including the technology of a daily shower product. In the present invention, the preferred alkyl polyglucosides are those which have been purified sufficient for personal cleansing use. Most preferred are "cosmetic grade" alkyl polyglucosides, particularly alkyl polyglycosides of 8 to 16 carbon atoms such as Plantaren * 2000MR, Plantaren 2000 NMR and Plantaren N UPMR, available from Henkel * Corporation (Postfach 101, 100, D 40191 Dusseldorf, Germany). *, In the context of floor, back, wall, etc., applications, another class of preferred nonionic surfactant are alkyl ethoxylates. The alkyl ethoxylates of the present invention are linear or branched and contain from about 8 carbon atoms to about 14 carbon atoms and from about 4 units of ethylene oxide to about 25 units of ethylene oxide. Examples of alkyl ethoxylates of alkyl include NeodolMR 91-6, Neodol 91-8 R supplied by Shell Corporation (P.O. Box 2463, 1 Shell Plaza, Houston, Texas), and Alfonic ™ 810 * 60 supplied by Vista Corporation, (900 Threadneedle P.O. Box 19029, Houston, TX). The most preferred surfactants are alkyl ethoxylates comprising from about 9 to about 12 carbon atoms and from about 4 to about 8 units of ethylene oxide. These surfactants provide excellent cleaning benefits and work synergistically with the necessary hydrophilic polymers. A more preferred alkyl ethoxylate is CnEO5, available from Shell Chemical Company under the trademark Neodol ™ 1-5. It has been found that this surfactant provides desirable wetting and cleaning properties, and can be advantageously combined with the preferred alkyl alkoyl polyglycoside of 8 to 16 carbon atoms in a matrix including the wetting polymers of the present invention. Although we do not wish to be limited by the theory, it is considered that the polyglycoside of alkyl of 8 to 16 carbon atoms can provide a superior end result (i.e., reduce turbidity) in compositions that additionally contain the preferred alkyl ethoxylate, particularly when the preferred alkyl ethoxylate * - is necessary for superior cleaning. The preferred alkyl polyglycoside of 8 to 16 carbon atoms is also found to improve the solubility of the perfume of the compositions comprising alkyl ethoxylates. Higher concentrations of perfume can be advantageous for consumer acceptance. The use of liquid compositions according to the present invention are prepared with relatively low concentrations of active materials. Usually, the compositions will comprise sufficient surfactant and optional solvent, as discussed in the following, to be effective as hard surface cleaners but still to remain economical; accordingly, they will usually contain from about 0.005% to about 0.5% by weight of the surfactant composition, preferably alkyl polyglycoside and / or alkyl ethoxylate surfactant of 8 to 14 carbon atoms, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.4. % surfactant, and even more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.3% surfactant. It has been found that the use of low levels, instead of high surfactants are advantageous for the performance of total final result. It has also been found that when the primary surfactant system includes preferred alkyl ethoxylates the Turbidity of the final result is mitigated by specific co-surfactants. These preferred co-surfactants are sulfonate of 8 carbon atoms and Polly-Tergent CS-1, and are described further below in section d. c. Optional Organic Cleansing Solvent The compositions, optionally, may also contain one or more organic cleansing solvents at effective concentrations, usually not less than about 0.25% and, at least about 0.5%, preferably at least about 3.0% and at most about 7%, preferably at most about 5% by weight of the composition. The surfactant provides cleaning and / or wetting even * without an organic cleaning solvent present. However, cleaning can be further improved by the use of a correct organic cleaning solvent. By organic cleansing solvent, it is meant an agent that * helps the surfactant to remove stains such as those commonly found in a bath. The organic cleaning solvent may also participate in increasing the viscosity, if needed, and increasing the stability of the composition. Compositions containing alkyl polyglycosides of 8 to 16 carbon atoms and / or alkyl ethoxylate of 8 to 14 carbon atoms also have a decreased ability to generate soapy water when the solvent is present. Therefore, the generation profile of soapy water can be controlled to a large extent I '32 * i w simply by controlling the concentration of hydrophobic solvent in the formulation. Such solvents usually have a hydrocarbon of 3 to 6 terminal carbon atoms attached from one to three portions of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol to provide the appropriate degree of hydrophobicity and preferably surface activity. Examples of commercially available hydrophobic cleaning solvents based on ethylene glycol chemistry include monoethylenglycol N-hexyl ether (Hexyl Cellosolve ™ available from Union Carbide). Examples of commercially available hydrophobic cleaning solvents based on propylene glycol chemistry include the dipropylene glycol and tripropylene glycol derivatives of propyl and butyl alcohol, which are available from Arco Chemical (3801 West Chester Pike, Newtown Square, PA 19073) and Dow Chemical (1691 N. Swede Road, Midland, Michigan) under the trade names Arcosolv ™ and Dowanol ™. In the context of the present invention, the preferred solvents are selected from the group consisting of monopropylene glycol monopropyl ether; dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether; monopropylene glycol monobutyl ether; dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether; dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether; tripropylene glycol monobutyl ether; ethylene glycol monobutyl ether; diethylene glycol monobutyl ether; Ethylene glycol monohexyl ether; diethylene glycol monohexyl ether; and mixtures thereof. The term "butyl" includes the normal butyl, isobutyl and tertiary butyl groups. Monopropylene glycol and monopropylene glycol monobutyl ether are the Chemical under the trade name Arcosolv PTBMR. The amount of organic cleaning solvent may vary depending on the amount of other ingredients present in the composition. The hydrophobic cleaning solvent is usually useful in providing good cleaning, such as in floor cleaning applications. For cleaning in confined spaces, the solvent can cause the formation of undesirably small respirable droplets, so that the compositions / solutions for use in the treatment of such spaces desirably are substantially free, more preferably completely free of such solvents. . d. Optional Additional Co-Active The liquid compositions of the present invention may optionally include a small amount of additional co-surfactant such as an anionic and / or non-ionic surfactant. Such anionic surfactants usually comprise a hydrophobic chain containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms, and usually include a hydrophilic sulphonate head group or for example anionic in the composition herein is from about 0.01% to about 0.25%, more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.2%, and much more preferably from about 0.01% to about 0.1% by weight of the composition. In the context of applications in the floor, backing and other surfaces, the choice of cosurfactant can be typical both in the selection of both type and concentration. In compositions comprising alkyl ethoxylates of 8 to 14 carbon atoms, it is found that low sulfonate concentrations of 8 carbon atoms can improve the final result by providing a "tune" effect. By "tuner", it is meant an improvement in the visual appearance of the final result due to less turbidity. If present, the sulfonate of 8 carbon atoms is preferably used from 1: 10 to about 1: 1 in weight ratio with respect to the primary surfactants. The sulfonate of 8 carbon atoms is commercially available from Stepan under the 1-24"* trade name Bio-Terge PAS-8 R as well as Witco Corporation under the trade name Witconate NAS-8MR Another surprising" tuning "surfactant of benefit of the present invention is Poly-Tergent CS-1, which is available from BASF, and if present, Poly-Tergent CS-1 * is preferably used in a weight ratio of from about 1: 20 to about 1: 1. with respect to the primary surfactant (s).

Other surfactants which may be used, although less preferably, and usually at very low concentrations, include alkyl sulfonates of 8 to 18 carbon atoms (Hostapur SASMR from Hoechst, Aktiengesellschaft, D-6230 Frankfurt, Germany), linear alkylbenzene sulphonate or branched from 10 to 14 carbon atoms, detergent surfactant of alkyl ethoxycarboxylates of e9 to 15 carbon atoms (Neodox ™ surfactants available from Shell Chemical Corporation)? alkyl sulfates and ethoxysulfates of 10 to 14 carbon atoms (for example Stepanium Stem AMMR). The ethoxyalkyl carboxylates can be used advantageously at extremely low concentrations (approximately 0.01% or less) to dissolve perfume. This can be an important benefit given the low concentrations of active substance necessary for the present invention to be more effective. The alternative nonionic detergent surfactants for use herein are alkoxylated alcohols that generally comprise from about 6 to about 16 carbon atoms in the hydrophobic alkyl chain of the alcohol. The usual alkoxylation groups are propoxy groups or propoxy groups in combination with ethoxy groups. Such compounds are commercially available under the tradename Antarox ™ available from Rhodia (P.O. Box 425 Cranberry, New Jersey 08512) with a wide variety of chain lengths and degrees of alkoxylation. Block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide can also be used and are available from BASF under the trade name PluronicM. The preferred nonionic detergent surfactants for use herein are according to the formula R (X) n H wherein R is an alkyl chain having from about 6 to about 16 carbon atoms, preferably from about 8 to about 12 carbon atoms. carbon atoms, X is a propoxy group or a mixture of ethoxy and propoxy groups, n is an integer from about 4 to about 30, preferably from about 5 to about 8. Other nonionic surfactants that can be used include derived from natural sources such as sugars and include N-alkylglycosamide surfactants of 8 to 16 carbon atoms If present, the concentration of the alternative nonionic surfactant is from about 0.01% to about 0.2%, more preferably about 0.01 % to about 0.1% by weight of the composition. and. Monocarboxylic Acid or Polycarboxy, - For purposes of soap scumming and hard water stain removal, the compositions can be rendered acidic with a pH of from about 2 to about 5, more preferably about 3. The acidity is brought to This is done at least partly by the use of one or more organic acids having a pKa of less than about 5, preferably less than about 4. Such organic acids can also assist in the formation of phase for thickening, if needed, and equally to provide hard water stain removal properties. It has been found that organic * t acids are very efficient in promoting good hard water removal properties within the scheme of the compositions of the present invention. A lower pH and the use of one or more suitable acids is also advantageous for disinfection use. Examples of suitable monocarboxylic acids include acetic acid, glycolic acid or β-hydroxypropionic acid and the like. Examples of suitable polycarboxylic acids include citric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid and mixtures thereof. Such acids are readily available commercially. Examples of more preferred polycarboxylic acids, especially non-polymeric polycarboxylic acids include citric acid (available from Aldrich Corporation, 1001 West St. Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin), a mixture of succinic, glutaric and adipic acids available from DuPont (Wilmington, Delaware) sold as "refined AGS dibasic acids", maleic acid (also available from Aldrich), and mixtures thereof. Citric acid is the most preferred, particularly for applications requiring soap foaming cleaning. Glycolic acid and the mixture of adipic, glutaric and succinic acids provide greater benefits for the removal of hard water. The amount of organic acid in the compositions herein can be from about 0.01% to about 1%, more preferably about 0.01% by weight. any of the known cyclodextrins, such as unsubstituted cyclodextrins containing from 6 to 12 glucose units, especially cyclodextrin α, cyclodextrin β, cyclodextrin and and / or their derivatives and / or mixtures & of them The ciclodextpna a consists of 6 glucose units, the cyclodextrin β consists of 7 glucose units, and the cyclodextrin and consists of 8 units of glucose distributed in rings in toroidal form. The specific coupling and conformation of the glucose units provides the cyclodextrins with rigid conical molecular structures with hollow interiors of specific volumes. The "coating" of each internal cavity is formed by hydrogen atom and oxygen atoms that r form glycosidic bridges; therefore, this surface is very hydrophobic. The unique physicochemical shape and properties of the cavity allow cyclodextrin molecules to absorb (from inclusion complexes with) organic molecules or parts of organic molecules which can fit into the cavity. Many odoriferous molecules can fit inside the cavity and include many malodor molecules and perfume molecules. Therefore, cyclodextrins, and especially mixtures of cyclodextrins with cavities of different sizes, can be used for í controlling odors caused by a broad spectrum of organic odoriferous materials which may or may not contain reactive functional groups. The formation of complexes between the cyclodextrin and the odor molecules are largely produced in the presence of water. However, the degree of complex formation also depends on the polarity of the adsorbed molecules. In an aqueous solution, highly hydrophilic molecules - 4, (those that are highly water soluble) are only partially adsorbed, if they are. Therefore, cyclodextrin does not complex effectively with some amines and low molecular weight organic acids when they are present at low concentrations on wet surfaces. However, as the water is removed, for example when the surface dries, some amines and low molecular weight organic acids have a higher affinity and will form complexes with the cyclodextrins more rapidly. The cavities within the cyclodextrin in the solution of the present invention can remain essentially unfilled (the cyclodextrin remains without forming complexes), while in solution, to allow the cyclodextrin to absorb the various odor molecules when the solution is applied to the solution. a surface. The non-derivatized (normal) β-cyclodextrin may be present at a concentration up to its solubility limit of about 1.85% (about 1.85 g in 100 grams of water) at room temperature. Cyclodextrin ß is not preferred in compositions which require a concentration of Jí- - cyclodextrin greater than its water solubility limit. Unsubstituted β-cyclodextrin is generally not preferred when the composition contains a given surfactant that alters the surface activity of most of the preferred surfactants that are compatible with the derivatized cyclodextrins. Preferably, the aqueous cleansing solution of the present invention is transparent. The term "transparent" is defined herein to indicate transparency or translucency, preferably transparency, as in "clear water" when viewed through a layer having a 10 thickness of less than about 10 cm. Preferably, the cyclodextrins used in the present invention are highly water soluble such as cyclodextrin a and / or derivatives thereof, cyclodextrin and / or derivatives thereof, derivatized β-cyclodextrins and / or mixtures thereof. The derivatives of Cyclodextrin consists mainly of molecules in which some of the OH groups are converted to OR groups. Cyclodextrin derivatives include, for example, those with short chain alkyl groups such as methylated cyclodextrins, and ethylated cyclodextrins, wherein R is a methyl or an ethyl group; those with substituted hydroxyalkyl groups such as 20 hydroxypropylcyclodextrins and / or hydroxyethylcyclodextrins, wherein R is a group -CH 2 CH (OH) -CH 3 or a -CH 2 CH 2 -OH; branched cyclodextrins such as cyclodextrins linked to maltose; cationic cyclodextrins such as those containing 2-hydroxy-3- (dimethylamino) propyl ether, wherein R is CH2-CH (OH) -CH2-N (CH3) 2, which is cationic at low pH; quaternary ammonium, for example 2-hydroxy-3- (trimethylammonium) propyl ether chloride groups, wherein H is CH 2 -CH (OH) -CH 2 -N + (CH 3) 3 Cl ", anionic cyclodextrins such as carboxymethylcyclodextrins, cyclodextrin sulfates and succinylates of cyclodextrin; amphoteric cyclodextrins such as * et cyclodextrins, carboxymethyl quaternary ammonium; cyclodextrins wherein at least one glucopyranose unit has a 3-6-anhydro-cyclomalt structure, example, mono-3-6-anhydrocyclodextrins as described in "Optimal • Performances with Minimal Chemical Modified of Cyclodextrins", F.

A known methylated cyclodextrin is heptakis-, 6 * di- O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin, commonly known as DIMEB, in which each glucose unit has approximately 2 methyl groups with a degree of preferred that DIMEB, since DIMEB affects the surface activity of the preferred surfactants more than RAMEB. Preferred cyclodextrins are available, for example, from Cerestar USA, Inc., and Wacker Chemcials (USA), Inc. It is also preferable to use a mixture of cyclodextrins. Tales * & - ^ Mixtures absorb odors more widely by forming complexes with a wide range of odoriferous molecules that have a wider range of molecular sizes.

Fragrance. An optional ingredient, although highly preferred, is a perfume, usually a mixture of perfume ingredients. As used herein, the perfume includes constituents of a perfume which are added primarily by their olfactory contribution, supplemented by the use of a volatile organic solvent such as ethanol. Most hard surface cleaning products contain some perfume to provide an olfactory aesthetic benefit and to cover any "chemical" odor that the product may have. The main function of a small fraction of the highly volatile fraction with a low boiling point (having low boiling points) of the perfume components in these perfumes is to improve the fragrance odor of the product same, instead of impacting on the subsequent odor of the surface to be cleaned. However, some of the higher volatile, boiling point-based perfume ingredients can provide a fresh and clean print to the surfaces, and it is sometimes desirable that these ingredients are deposited and are present on the dry surface. Perfumes are preferably those that are more water soluble and / or volatile to minimize spotting and film formation. The perfumes useful herein are described in greater detail in the U.S. patent. 5,108,660, Michael, issued April 28, 1992, in column 8, lines 48 to 68, and column 9, lines 1 to 68, and column 10, lines 1 to 24, such a patent, and especially the specific portion, incorporate as a reference.

In the case of the preferred embodiment t & Containing peroxide, the perfumes should be chosen so that they are compatible with the oxidant.

In a preferred embodiment, the perfume ingredients are hydrophobic and highly volatile, for example ingredients having a boiling point less than about 260 ° C, preferably lower * & As i ^} * of approximately 255 ° C; and more preferably less than about 250 ° C and a ClogP of at least about 3, more preferably about 3.1 and even more preferably greater than about 3.2. 5 The LogP of many ingredients has been reported; for example, in the Pomona92 database, available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylight CIS), Irvine, California, which contains many, along with quotes from the original literature. However, the LogP values are more conveniently calculated by the "CLOGP" program, also available from i 10 Daylight CIS. This program also includes experimental LogP values when they are available in the Pomona92 database. The "calculated LogP" (ClogP) is determined by the focus of the Hansch and Leo fragment (eg, A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 3, C. Hansch, PG Sammens, JB Taylor and CA Ramsden, Eds ., p 295, Pergamon Press, 15 1990, incorporated herein by reference). The fragment approach is based on the chemical structure of each ingredient and takes into account '4-B the numbers and types of atoms, the connectivity of atoms and the chemical bond »The Clog'P values, which are more reliable determinations and more widely used for this physicochemical property, preferably 20 are used instead of using the experimental LogP values in the selection of the main solvent ingredients which are useful in the > *. - present invention. Other methods for calculating ClogP can be used and include, for example, the Crippen's fragmentation method, such as the fragmentation of Viswanadhan's, as described in J. Chem. Inf. CompuL Sci., 29, 163 (1989); and the Broto's method, as described in Eur. J. Med, i Chem. - Chim. Theor., 19, 71 (1984).

Other Adjuvants The compositions herein may comprise a variety of other optional ingredients, including additional active substances and detergent builders, as well as primarily aesthetic ingredients. In particular, the rheology of the compositions herein may be made suitable for suspension particles in the composition, for example abrasive particles.

Detergency Makers Detergent builders for detergents that are efficient for hard surface cleaners and that have reduced film forming / scratch characteristics at critical concentrations are another optional ingredient. Detergent builders for preferred detergents are the detergency builders for carboxylic acid detergents described above, or part of the description of polycarboxylic acid, and include - citric and tartaric acids. Tartaric acid improves cleaning and can minimize the problem of film / scratch formation that is usually Presents when detergent builders for detergents are added to hard surface cleaners. > The detergent builder for detergent is present at concentrations that provide detergency improvement for detergent. and, those that are not part of the acid pH adjustment described above, are usually present at a concentration of from about 0.01% to about 0.3%, more preferably from 3A, about 0.005% to about 0.2%, and so more preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.1% by weight of the composition.

Shock absorbers. The compositions herein may also contain other adjuvants such as buffers, preservatives and antibacterial agents, which are known in the art for detergent compositions. Preferably, they are not used at concentrations that cause unacceptable film / scratch formation. Shock absorbers are an important class of adjuvants in the present compositions. This happens mainly as a result of the low concentrations of active ingredient used. An ideal buffer system will maintain the pH over the entire desired narrow range, although it will not generate scratch / film formation. Preferred buffers in the context of the invention are those which are highly volatile, but which can still provide cleaning benefits when used.

«*» * «* •» As such, they are advantageous insofar as they can be used at higher concentrations compared to the corresponding shock absorbers which are less volatile. Such buffers tend to have a low molecular weight, that is, less than about 150 g / mol 5 and generally contain no more than one hydroxy group. Examples of preferred buffers include ammonia, methanolamine, ethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol, acetic acid, glycolic acid, and the like. The most preferred among these are ammonia, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol and acetic acid. When used, these cushions are usually present at concentrations from about 0.005% to about 0.5% by weight of the composition, with higher concentrations being preferred additionally for more volatile buffer materials. Non-volatile buffers can also be used in this invention. Such buffers are used at concentrations generally lower than the preferred concentrations due to increased scratching / film formation tendencies. Examples of such buffers include, but are not limited to, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and bicarbonate, 1,3-bis (aminomethyl) cyclohexane, sodium citrate, citric acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid and the like. Maleic acid is particularly preferred as a buffer due to its tendency not to induce surface damage. Citric acid is also desirable since it provides antimicrobial benefits as a registered active ingredient before the EPA. Additionally, in compositions comprising the hydrophilic polymers of the present invention for target shower applications, it has been found that the acidity promotes better wetting and * r provides "rolling" effects of longer duration. When used, non-volatile buffers are present from about 0.001% to about 0.05% by weight of the composition. Non-limiting examples of other adjuvants are: enzymes such as proteases; hydrotropes such as sodium toluene sulfonate, sodium cumene sulphonate and sodium xylene sulphonate; and aesthetic enhancement ingredients such as colorants, with the proviso that they do not have an adverse impact on film / scratch formation.

Preservatives and Antibacterial Agents. Conversors may also be used, and may be required in many of the compositions of the present invention, since they contain high concentrations of water. Examples of preservatives include bronopol, hexitidine sold by Angus chemical (211 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois, E.U.A.). Other preservatives include Kathon ™, 2- (hydroxymethyl) (amino) ethanol, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxymethylaminoacetate, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, dichloro-s-triazinetrione, trichloro-s-triazinetrione, and quaternary ammonium salts including dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, didecyldimethylammonium chloride , C12, C and Cie dimethylbenzyl, the preferred preservatives include 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one and - "» polyhexamethylenebiguanide sold by Avicia Chemicals (Wilmington, Delaware 19897), chlorhexidine diacetate sold by Aldrich-Sigma (1001 West St. Paul Avenue, Milwaukee, Wl 53233), and sodium pyrithione sold by Arch Chemicals. (501 Merritt Seven, PO Box 5204, Norwalk CT 06856.) When used, preservatives are preferably present at concentrations of about 0.0001% to about 0.01% .These same preservatives may function to provide antibacterial control on the surfaces, but will usually require the use of concentrations. higher, from about 0.005 to about 0.1% Other antibacterial agents, including quaternary ammonium salts, should be present, but are not preferred in the context of the present invention at high concentrations, i.e. at concentrations greater than about 0.05% It has been found that such compounds often interfere with n the benefits of the preferred polymers. In particular, quaternary ammonium surfactants tend to hydrophobically modify hard surfaces. In this way, it has been found that preferred polymers are not effective in compositions constituted with significant concentrations of quaternary ammonium surfactants. Similar results have been found using amphoteric surfactants, including laurylbetaine and cocoamidobetaines. When present, the concentration of cationic or amphoteric surfactant should be at concentrations below about 0.1%, preferably less than about 0.05%. Should be para-chlorophenol. If they are present, such materials must be maintained at concentrations less than approximately 0.05%.

Wet cloths for vitreous and glossy surfaces, floors, backsplashes, walls and other surfaces - • t The glass cleaning compositions described in section B. above and the general purpose floor compositions described in section C above may be Use in a pre-moistened cloth. The cloth substrate may consist of fibers that are naturally occurring, unmodified and / or modified, suitable they include cotton, esparto grass, bagasse, hemp, flax, wax, wool, wood pulp, chemically modified wood pulp, jute, ethyl cellulose and / or cellulose acetate. Suitable synthetic fibers may comprise fibers of one or more of polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene chloride, polyacrylics such as ORLONMR, polyvinyl acetate, Rayon R, polyethyl vinyl acetate, insoluble or soluble polyvinyl alcohol, polyolefins. as polyethylene (for example PULPEX R) and polypropylene, polyamides such as nylon, polyesters such as DACRONMR, or KODELMR, polyurethanes, polystyrenes and the like, including fibers comprising polymers containing more than one monomer. The absorbent layer may comprise only fibers that occur naturally, only synthetic fibers or any compatible combination of fibers that occur naturally and synthetically. The fibers useful herein can be hydrophilic, hydrophobic or can be a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers. As indicated above, the particular selection of hydrophilic or hydrophobic fibers depends on other materials included in the absorbent layer (and to some extent) of the rubbing layer described in J-! following. Hydrophilic fibers suitable for use in the present invention include cellulosic fibers, modified cellulosic fibers, rayon, cotton, polyester fibers such as hydrophilic nylon (HYDROFILM). Suitable hydrophilic fibers can also be obtained by making the hydrophilic fibers 7 hydrophobic fibers, such as thermoplastic fibers treated with surfactant "*, *" or treated with silica, derived, for example, from polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacrylics, polyamides, polystyrenes, polyurethanes, and the like. Suitable pulp fibers can be obtained from well-known chemical processes such as the Kraft and sulfite process.It is especially preferred to derive these wood pulp fibers from southern soft woods due to their additional absorbency characteristics.These wood pulp fibers can also be obtained from From mechanical processes, such as wood milling, mechanical refining, thermomechanical, chemomechanical and chemithermomechanical pulping process, recycled or secondary wood pulp fibers, as well as bleached and unbleached wood pulp fibers, are also can use another type of hydrophilic fibers for use in The present invention is chemically rigidified cellulose fibers. As used herein, the term "chemically rigidified cellulosic fibers" means cellulosic fibers that have been rigidified by chemical means to increase the stiffness of the fibers under dry and aqueous conditions. Such means may include the addition of a chemical agent that provides rigidity such as, for example, coatings and / or impregnated fibers. Such a medium may also include stiffening the fibers by altering the chemical structure, for example, by crosslinking polymer chains. intersections become binding sites for the thermoplastic material. When cooled, the thermoplastic materials at these intersections solidify to form the binding sites that hold the matrix or substrate of other fibers together in each of the respective layers. This can be beneficial by providing additional total integrity to the cleaning cloth. Among its various effects, the union in the interseccones of the; fiber increases the total compression modulus and the strength of the resulting thermally bonded member. In the case of rigidified cellulosic fibers chemically, melting and migration of the thermoplastic material also has the effect of increasing the average pore size of the resulting substrate and maintaining the density and basis weight of the substrate as formed} < ¥ \ J, originally. This may improve the fluid capture properties of the l-** thermally bonded substrate upon initial exposure to the fluid, due to a * improved permeability to fluids, and upon subsequent exposure, due to the combined ability of stiffened fibers to retain their stiffness when wetted and the ability of the thermoplastic material to remain attached at fiber intersections when it is wetted and when the fiber is compressed. number. On thermally bonded substrates in the form of a fiber network rigidified that retain their original total volume, but with the volumetric regions previously occupied by the thermoplastic material that opens and in this way increases the pore size of capillarity between the average fibers. The thermoplastic materials useful in the present invention may have any of a variety of forms including particulate materials, fibers or combinations of particulate materials and fibers. Thermoplastic fibers are a preferred form particularly because of their ability to form many binding sites between the fibers. Suitable thermoplastic materials can be made from any thermoplastic polymer that can be melted at temperatures that will not extensively damage the fibers that make up the primary substrate or the matrix of each layer. Preferably, the melting point of this thermoplastic material A will be less than about 190 ° C, and preferably between about 75 ° C to about 175 ° C. In any case, the melting point of this thermoplastic material should be no less than the temperature at which thermally bonded absorbent structures are likely to be stored, when used in cleaning pads. The melting point of the thermoplastic material is usually not less than about 50 ° C. Thermoplastic materials, and in particular thermoplastic fibers, can be made from various thermoplastic polymers including polyolefins such as polyethylene (for example PULPEX R), and polypropylene, polyesters, copolyesters, polyvinyl acetate, polyethyl vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, chloride of polyvinylidene, polyaerylliums, polyamides, copolyamides, polystyrenes, polyurethanes and copolymers of any of the foregoing such as vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate and the like. Based on the desired characteristics for the resultant thermally bonded absorbent member, suitable thermoplastic materials include hydrophobic fibers that have become hydrophilic, such as surfactant-treated or silica-treated thermoplastic fibers derived, for example, from poholefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene. , polyacrylics, polyamides, polystyrenes, polyurethanes and the like. The surface of the hydrophobic thermoplastic fiber can be rendered hydrophilic by treatment with a surfactant such as a nonionic or anionic surfactant, for example by spraying the fiber with a surfactant, by immersing the fiber in a. * surfactant or by including the surfactant as part of the molten polymer to make the thermoplastic fiber. When fusion and resotification occurs, the surfactant will tend to remain on the surfaces of the thermoplastic fiber. Suitable surfactants include nonionic surfactants such as Brij ™, 76 manufactured by ICI Americas, Inc. of Wilmington, Delaware, and various surfactants sold under the trademark Pegosperse ™ by Glyco Chemical, Inc. of Greenwich, Connecticut. further concentrations, for example, from about 0.2 to about 1 gram per square centimeter of thermoplastic fiber. Suitable thermoplastic fibers can be made from a single polymer (single-component fibers) or can be made from more than one polymer (for example, bicomponent fibers). As used herein, "bicomponent fibers" refer to thermoplastic fibers comprising a core polymer core that is covered within a thermoplastic liner made from a different polymer. The polymer comprising the liner is often melted at a different, usually lower, temperature compared to the polymer comprising the core. As a result, these bicomponent fibers provide thermal bonding due to melting of the liner polymer and at the same time retain desirable strength characteristics of the core polymer. Bicomponent fibers suitable for use in the present invention may include liner / core fibers having the following polymer combinations: polyethylene / polypropylene, polyethyl vinyl acetate / polypropylene, polyethylene / polyester, polypropylene / polyester, copolyester / polyester, and the like. The bicomponent thermoplastic fibers particularly suitable for use herein are those having a core of polypropylene or polyester, and a liner with a lower melting point of copolyester, polyethyl vinyl acetate or polyethylene (for example those available from Danaklon a / s, Chisso Corp., and CELBONDMR, available from Hercules). These bicomponent fibers can be concentric or eccentric.

As used herein, the terms "concentric" and "eccentric" refer to whether the sheath has a thickness that is uniform, or non-uniform through the cross-sectional area of the bicomponent fiber. Eccentric bicomponent fibers may be desirable in providing greater compressive strength at lower fiber thicknesses. Methods for preparing thermally bonded fibrous materials are described in the application of E.U.A. Serial No. 08 / 479,096 (Richards et al.), Filed July 3, 1995 (see especially pages 16-20), and patent of E.U.A. No. 5,549,589 (Horney et al.), Issued August 27, 1996 (see especially Columns 9 to 10). The descriptions of both references are incorporated herein by reference. The absorbent layer may also comprise hydrophilic polymeric foam derived from HIPE. Such foams and methods for their preparation are described in the patent of E.U.A. 5,550,167 (DesMarais), issued August 27, 1996; and the patent application of E.U.A. commonly assigned, Serial No. 08 / 370,695 (Stone et al.), filed January 10, 1995 (both incorporated herein by reference). The cloth may consist of one or more layers that include an optional rubbing layer for maximum cleaning efficiency. For pre-moistened cloths using a single substrate, the substrate preferably contains fibers that comprise some combination of hydrophilic fibers and about 30% hydrophobic fibers and even more preferably at least about 50% hydrophobic fibers in a hydroentangled substrate. The term "hydrophobic fibers" includes polyester fibers as well as fibers derived from polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and the like. The combination of hydrophobic fibers and absorbent hydrophilic fibers represents a particularly preferred embodiment for a pre-soaked cloth of a single substrate since the absorbent hydrophilic fibers, usually cellulose, aid in the retention and removal of dust and other stains present on the surface. Hydrophobic fibers are particularly useful in cleaning greasy stains, * in improving the pre-wet cloth and in reducing friction between the substrate and <; ^ "« * * <A hard surface (brightness) In terms of classifying the ordering of the fiber composition for improved brightness, the inventors have found that polyester fibers, particularly polyester fibers in < • Combination with polypropylene fibers, are the most effective to provide an excellent shine, followed by polyethylene fibers.The pre-moistened cloths based on cellulose (or rayon), although highly absorbent, lead to significant friction between the substrate and the surface that The combinations of fibers are more difficult to sort in order to provide excellent gloss, although it has been found that even low concentrations of polyester or polypropylene fiber content can significantly improve the brilliance performance in virtually all cases, the fiber compositions that of soapy water of the composition, leading to an improved result. Various training methods can be used to make a suitable fibrous substrate for pre-moistened cloths of the present invention. For example, the substance can be made by non-woven dry forming techniques, such as air-laid or alternatively, by wet laying, for example in a papermaking machine. Other non-woven manufacturing techniques include, but are not limited to, techniques such as meltblowing, spinning, needle-punched, and hydroentanglement methods, which may also be used. In one embodiment, the dry fibrous substrate may be an air-laid nonwoven substrate comprising a combination of natural fibers, r < . short synthetic fibers and a latex binder. The dried fibrous substrate may be from about 20% to about 80% by weight of wood pulp fibers, from about 10% to about 60% by weight of short length polyester fibers and from about 20 10% to about 25% by weight of binder. The dried fibrous substrate may have a basis weight of between about 30 and about 100 grams per square meter. The density of the dried substrate can be measured after evaporation of the liquid from the pre-wet cloth, and the density may be less than about 0.15 grams per cubic centimeter. The density is the basis weight of the dry substrate divided by the thickness of the dry substrate, measured in consistent units, and the thickness of the dry substrate is measured using a circular loading leg having an area of approximately 13 cm2 (2 square inches) and which provides a confining pressure of approximately 95 grams per 6.5 cm2 (square inch). In one embodiment, the dry substrate may have a basis weight of about 64 grams per square meter, a thickness of about 0.06 cm, and a density of about 0.11 grams per cubic centimeter. In a modaliadd, the dry fibrous substrate may comprise at least about 50 weight percent of wood pulp fibers and more preferably at least about 70 weight% of wood pulp fibers. A nonwoven substrate stretched to the particular air, which is suitable for use in the present invention comprises about 73.5 wt% of cellulose fibers (southern softwood Kraft having an average fiber length of about 2.6 mm, about 10.5 percent in weight). weight of polyester fibers having a denier of approximately 1.35 grams / 9000 meters of fiber length and a short fiber length of approximately 2.1 cm (0.85 inches), and approximately 16 weight percent of a binder composition comprising copolymer of styrene and butadiene The binder composition can be made using latex adhesive '&% commercially available as Rovene, R 5550 (49 percent solids of ^ l * styrene and butadiene) available from Mallard Creek Polymers of Charlotte, N.C.

The technique recognizes that the use of sheets to remove dust such as those of U.S. Patent 3,629,047, U.S. Patent 3,494,421, U. U. Patent 4,144,370, U.S. Patent 4,808,467, U.S. Pat. ^ *. - < « 5,144,729 and the patent of US Pat. No. 5,525,397, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference as effective for capturing and retaining particulate dirt. These sheets require a structure that provides reinforcement and also pounds fibers to be effective. It has been found that similar structures used for dry dust removal can also be usefully used with pre-wetting with liquid at concentrations of at least about 0.5 grams of chemical solution per gram of dry substrate, or greater. These concentrations are significantly higher than the concentrations used for the 10 chemical additives such as mineral oils, waxes and the like which are often applied to conventional dust removal sheets to improve performance. In particular, the cloths of this invention are specifically designed to be used pre-moistened with aqueous compositions. In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning sheet has at least two regions wherein the regions differ by the basis weight. The measure for the basis weight is described in the provisional applications of E.U.A. 60 / 055,330 and 60 / 047,619. Briefly, the measurement is obtained photographically, by differentiation of regions of dark network (base weight 20 low) and clear (high base). In particular, the cleaning sheet comprises one or more regions of basis weight, wherein the base weight region (s) has a basis weight that is not greater than about 80% of the basis weight of the high basis weight regions. In a preferred aspect, the first region is repetitive random and have a basis weight no greater than about 80% 10 of the basis weight of a continuous region. In one embodiment, the cleaning sheet will have, in addition to the regions that differ with respect to its basis weight, tridimensionality t *, substantial macroscopic. The term "macroscopic three-dimensionality", when used to describe three-dimensional cleaning sheets, means a three-dimensional pattern that is easily visible to the naked eye when the perpendicular distance between the eye of the observer and the plane of the sheet is approximately 30 cm (12). inches). In other words, the three-dimensional structures of the pre-moistened sheets of the present invention are cleaning sheets that are not flat and that on one or both surfaces of the sheets there are multiple planes. Contrastingly, the term "flat" refers to leaves that have fine-scale surface alterations on one or both sides. The surface alterations are not easily visible to? simple view when the perpendicular distance between the eye of the observer and the ^^, ¿3 *% ~ ^ plane of the sheet is approximately 30 cm (12 inches). In other words, on a macroscopic scale, the observer will not see that one or both surfaces of the sheet will exist in multiple planes so that they are three-dimensional. 5 The three-dimensional measurement is described in the provisional applications of E.U.A. 60 / 055,330 and 60 / 047,619. Briefly, the macroscopic tridimensionality is described in terms of the average height differential, which is defined as the average distance between peaks and adjacent valleys of a given surface of a leaf, as well as the average peak-to-peak distance, which is the average distance between adjacent peaks of a given surface. The macroscopic three-dimensionality is also described in terms of surface topography index of the outer surface of a cleaning sheet; The surface topography index is the ratio obtained by dividing the average height differential of a surface between the average peak-to-peak distance of that surface. In a preferred embodiment, a three-dimensional cleaning sheet macroscopically has a first outer surface and a second outer surface, wherein at least one of the outer surfaces has a peak-to-peak distance of at least about 1 mm and a topography index of 20 surface from about 0.01 mm to about 10 mm. The macroscopically three-dimensional structures of the pre-moistened cloths of the present invention optionally comprise a * • * canvas which, when heated and cooled, contracts to provide ", - an additional three-dimensional macroscopic structure. "In another alternative embodiment, the substrate may comprise a laminate of two hydroentangled outer substrates, such as nonwoven polyester substrates, rayon fibers or combinations thereof having a basis weight of about 10 to about 60 grams per square meter, attached to an inner retaining layer, which may be in the form of a weblike canvas material, which shrinks when heated to provide a surface texture in the outer layers. The pre-moistened cloth is made by wetting the substrate. »Dry with at least about 1.0 grams of liquid composition per gram of dry fibrous substrate. Preferably, the dry substrate is moistened with at least about 1.5 and more preferably with at least about 2.0 grams of liquid composition * per gram of the dry fibrous substrate. The exact amount of solution, impregnated in the cloth will depend on the proposed use of the product. For • pre-moistened cloths designed to be used for cleaning backstops, stove tops, glass and the like, and optimal wetting is approximately 1 to approximately 5 grams * of solution per gram of substrate. In the context of a floor cleaning cloth, the pre-moistened cloth may preferably include an absorbent core reservoir with a large capacity to absorb and retain fluid. Preferably, the absorbent reservoir has a fluid capacity of • «approximately 5 grams to approximately 5 grams per gram of absorbent material. Pre-moistened cloths designed to be used for cleaning walls, exterior surfaces, etc., they will have a • »< capacity of approximately 2 grams to approximately 10 grams of dry fibrous substrate.

D1. Cloths for glass: "Pre-moistened cloths for use on glass can understand single layer or multiple laminate substrates. In the context of monolayer substrates, since the surface is not scrubbed dryness in the context of a pre-moistened cloth, it is essential that the content of the non-volatile materials in the aqueous composition be kept to a minimum. Therefore, the active substances described above are preferably used at even lower concentrations for a better final result. Furthermore, it has been found that compositions consisting solely of organic hydrophobic cleaning solvents * can provide an excellent final result along with good cleaning in a pre-moistened cloth. These solvents, as opposed to aqueous hydrophilic solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol and the like, have been made. 4 20 found that they provide a better and more uniform surface wetting. This is important as it leads to more uniform drying, which It provides additional security to consumers that no scratches will form. Additionally, although you do not want to be limited by theory some, it is considered that in a dirty environment, the hydrophobic organic cleaning solvents will dry with less scratching. For example, in the context of glass cloths, the current monolayer glass cloths, eg Glassmates ™, manufactured by Reckitt & Colman, which uses only hydrophilic solvents (ie, lacks a hydrophobic organic cleaning solvent) dry in points. In the context of a pre-moistened cloth, the cleaning solvents are used at a concentration of from about 0.5% to about 10%, more preferably from about 1% to about 5%. Preferred hydrophobic organic cleaning solvents include monopropylene glycolpropyl ether, monopropylene glycol butyl ether, monoethylene glycol butyl ether and mixtures thereof. Other aqueous hydrophilic solvents such as ethanol can be used, isopropanol, isobutanol, 2-butanol, methoxypropropanol and the like, to * provide increased perfume. The dampers with molecular weights of less than about 150 g / mol as described above, can be used advantageously to improve the cleaning without impairing the performance of the final result. Examples of preferred buffers include ammonia, methanolamine, ethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol, acetic acid, glycolic acid, and the like. The most preferred among these are ammonia, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol and acetic acid. When used, these buffers are present from about 0.005% to about 0.5% by weight of the composition, wherein the 1 Higher concentrations are most preferred for more volatile chemicals. In the context of glass cloths, simple compositions using low concentrations of non-volatile surfactant preferably with high concentrations of the preferred organic cleaning solvent * are sufficient to provide excellent cleaning and wetting performance in the absence of hydrophilic polymer. However, the addition of polymer can be advantageously used to provide other benefits such as decreased staining, anti-fogging and easier cleaning the next time. A. A * '"" i-. 10 The technique recognizes that the use of pre-moistened cloths. By rf example, the patent of E.U.A. No. 4,276,338 discloses a multiple laminate absorbent article comprising first and second adjacent layers. that are kept together to improve capillarity. The patent of E.U.A. No. 4,178,407 discloses a single towel having an absorbent surface on both sides that additionally comprises an inner layer impervious to liquid. The towel is designed to have little wet strength, and the absorbent material layer consists of loose fibers. The technique also describes pre-moistened cloths for use in glass cleaning applications. The ? patent of E.U.A. 4,448,704 discloses an article suitable for filing 20 hard surfaces such as glass. The article may be moist or comprise compositions contained within rupturable bags. The article of the patent of E.U.A. 4,448,704 is previously washed with demineralized water or the solution used to impregnate such article; the t? The liquid composition has a surface tension of less than 35 dynes / cm, and preferably includes a surfactant and a partially esterified resin such as a partially esterified styrene / maleic anhydride copolymer ***. Patents are hereby incorporated by reference.The pre-moistened cloths of the present invention are advantageously not pre-washed, although the inventors have found that they provide excellent final results even as sheets of a single extract.An additional benefit of the pre-moistened glass cloths is keep the defibration to a minimum, stages such as prewash usually release fibers, which makes the substrate more susceptible to defibration In the context of specifically hydroentangled structures, the tightness of fiber integration is obtained optimally in processing of fibrous materials, and not during processing or pre Paration of the pre-moistened cloth. As a result, preferred compositions of the present invention show improved defibration. Additionally, the liquid composition used in pre-moistened glass cloths is preferably substantially free of surfactants and agents. As such, the surface tension of the liquid does not need to reduce the surface tension below 35 dynes / cm. In the context of a multi-layer substrate for the pre-moistened cloth of the present invention, the cloth may have two sides that differ in function. One side is pre-wetted and acts to supply the liquid while the other is preferably not moist and is designed for rubbing or finishing. In the context of glass and other cleaning situations where lower concentrations of liquid are required to reduce the amount of liquid remaining on the surfaces and efficacy is required to clean 3f grease, a preferred embodiment includes a dry fibrous substrate, substrate in the that at least about 65% of the dry fibrous substrate is composed of hydrophobic fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene fibers and the like, and lower concentrations of hydrophilic fibers such as wood pulp, cotton fibers and the like, which are at concentrations of less than about 35%. The lower concentration of hydrophilic fibers helps to reduce the amount of liquid that the cloth can hold while a higher concentration of hydrophobic fibers helps to absorb better fat. In addition to the benefits associated with grease-improving cleaning it has been found that hydrophobic fibers also improve the feel of the cloth on the glass and other hard surfaces, which provides a cleaning sensation easier for both the consumer and the surface being treated. This improvement in ease of cleaning, lubricity or "slip" can be quantified experimentally by friction measurements on relevant hard surfaces. Improved slippage of the substrate provides additional freedom in the formulation of the liquid composition. * • ... í * V • * The hydrophobic fibers in the substrate of the pre-moistened cloth provide slip benefits when the cloth is completely pre-wetted and when the cloth is completely dry. This is important *. % since the cloths are increasingly dried as they are used. Therefore, the ^% -i 5 chain length concentration of 14 carbon atoms or higher, * * tv which are known to provide lubricity effects, can be reduced > "" -, 3 substantially or preferably are completely removed from the *. % fi liquid composition used in the pre-moistened cloth, where, although the excellent sliding characteristics (low friction) are still preserved. The use of cloths comprising a certain concentration of hydrophobic fibers, particularly polyester, also provides increased flexibility in developing pre-wet cloths for glass at acidic pH. It has been found that acidic cleaning compositions significantly prevent slipping of cellulose substrates such as common paper towels or pre-wetted cellulosic cloths. In addition to the composition of the substrate, the dimensions of the cloth can also be used to control the dosage as well as to provide an ergonomic appearance. Preferred cloth dimensions are from about 14 cm (5.5 inches) to about 23 cm 20 (9 inches) in length, and from about 14 cm (5.5 inches) to about 23 cm (9 inches) in width to accommodate comfortable way in the hand. As such, the cloth preferably has dimensions such that the length and width differ by no more than * *. «Te *. * 4 l l approximately 5 cm (2 inches). In the context of cleaning heavier stains, the cloths are preferably larger so that they can be • used and then folded, either once or twice, so that they retain the powder inside the fold and when the cloth can be 5 reused. For this application, the cloth has a length of about 14 cm (5.5 inches) to about 33 cm (13 inches) and a width of about 25 cm (10 inches) ** ^ • * about 33 cm (13 inches). As such, the cloth can be folded once or twice and still fit comfortably in the hand. In addition to having cloths prepared using a monolayer substrate, it is advantageous in some situations to have a pre-wet cloth constructed using a multi-layer substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the cloth consists of a multiple laminate substrate comprising a pre-moistened outer layer, an impermeable film or an inner membrane layer, and a second outer layer which is substantially dry. To improve the wet capacity of a cloth and to protect the backing layer by preventing it from being wetted prematurely, an optional absorbent reservoir layer can be placed between the first pre-moistened outer layer and the impermeable film or the inner membrane layer 20 . Preferably, the dimensions of the reservoir layer are less than the dimensions of the two outer layers to prevent liquid from spilling from the front layer onto the backing layer.

The use of a multi-laminate substrate as described herein may be highly desirable insofar as it allows a dry-rubbing step, which is obtained by removing substantially the majority of the liquid remaining in the glass after application. of the wet-wet cloth pre-wet on the glass. The inventors have found that even with a rubbing stage, the hydrophilic polymer in the pre-moistened cloth, if present, remains in the glass, which provides antifog properties to the glass. The rubbing step also provides an improved overall flexibility in the concentration of solids used in the liquid composition because most of the solids are scrubbed together with the remainder of the aqueous composition during the rubbing step. In fact, those skilled in the art can recognize that it may be advantageous to use very low concentrations, preferably less than about 0.02% of highly crystalline, water-soluble surfactants, because they are more susceptible to drying the substrate and removing such crystalline solids from the surface of glass. The multiple laminate substrate is advantageously used more in the context of situations where there are more stains, for example those found in exterior windows or in vehicle glasses. By allowing the use of a clean and fresh surface for rubbing, the multi-laminate substrate reduces the amount of dirty liquid pushed around the pre-wet cloth.

When using a multi-laminate substrate, it is preferred that the outer pre-moistened layer contain at least about 30% hydrophobic fibers for oil removal and gloss. The impermeable inner layer is more preferably polyethylene, polypropylene or mixtures thereof. The composition mixture and the thickness of the impermeable layer are chosen so as to be minimized, or more preferably, any leakage of liquid from the first outer layer pre-wetted to the second dry outer layer is eliminated. The use of a reservoir core layer or a pre-moistened outer layer with high fluid capacity will test the impermeable layer, so that more than one impermeable layer may be required to ensure sufficient dryness for the second outer layer of the cloth. The deposit layer, if present, will preferably consist of treated or untreated cellulose, either as a material by itself or as a hybrid with hydrophobic fibers. The hydrophobic content of the reservoir layer is preferably less than about 30%, more preferably less than about 20% by weight of the total fiber content of the layer. In a preferred embodiment, the reservoir consists of air-laid cellulose. The second outer layer, which is substantially dry to the touch, preferably consists of high-absorbency cellulose, or combinations of cellulose and synthetic fibers. The inventors have recognized that the packaging of cloths containing a pre-wet side and a dry side can be a problem. * and ^ To solve this packaging problem, a preferred "*" folding scheme has been developed.The cloths are folded into halves, thirds or any other - < - * adequate manner so that all of the pre-moistened layers of each As a result, all the outer dry layers of successive cloths are stacked in a bag, container or box, and make contact directly with other sides of the pre-moistened cloths. pre-soaked cloth By "contact *" * '* directly "it is meant that all of the pre-wetted * sides of the cloths are separated from the dry sides by a waterproof liquid layer by packing the cloths in such a way preferred, it is ensured that the dry sides of the cloths are not contaminated with liquid during storage in the cloth container, and before use.The packing material can be made of any suitable material, including or plastic or cellophane. Optionally, another means to further resolve the potential displacement by capillary action of the liquid to the rubbing layer is simply to add a superabsorbent polymer within the scrubbing layer or between the waterproof layer and the rubbing layer. * • * In a preferred embodiment, a starter comprises a sturdy box or other receptacle capable of holding from about 8 to about 24 cloths which have been folded at least once, and lower cost packings capable of holding from about 5 to about Twelve cloths are those that are used as r, é replacement packs.

Importantly, the pre-moistened cloth can be used as a stand by itself, or together with an implement comprising a handle and a joining device for the cloth. As used herein, "implement" means any physical means for attachment of substrate, such as pad, dry cloth, pre-moistened cloth and the like. Optionally, but preferably, the pre-moistened cloth includes one or more preservatives so as to ensure the fungistatic benefits. The examples of conservatives that can be used associated with the cloths'? T. Pre-wetted ingredients of the invention include methylparaben, bronopol, hexitidine, dichloro-s-triazinetrione, trichloro-s-triazinetrione and quaternary ammonium salts including dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, didecyldimethylammonium chloride, C12, C14 and Cie dimethylbenzyl (BardacMR 2280 and BarquatMR MB-80, sold by Lonza) and the like, at concentrations below approximately 0.02%. Preferred preservatives include citric acid, tetrakis (hydroxymethylphosphonium sulfate) ("THPS"), sodium pyrithione, Kathon ™ and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one sold by Avicia Chemicals. The preservatives, if used, are in concentrations of from about 0.001% to about 0.05%, more preferably from about 0.005% to about 0.02% by weight of the composition. Alternatively, preservation can be obtained using product pH, by returning the pH of the aqueous composition that is squeezed out of the pre-moistened cloth greater than about 10.5 or less than about 3.0. Preferred pH-based preservatives include those which are highly volatile such as ammonia (for high pH) and acetic acid (for low pH). When conservatives are used «-mi? based on pH, particularly volatile preservatives are used, the concentration of the preservative can be substantially greater than 0.02%. The use of cloths comprising hydrophobic fibers provides sufficient brightness * on the surface so that it even allows the use of acidic preservatives. Additionally, a combination of preservatives can be used to obtain the desired conservation benefits. In any case, the preservative (s) can be applied directly on the cloth before the solution, or alternatively they can be dispersed in the solution before moistening the cloth. Alternatively, it may be beneficial to incorporate antimicrobial active substances directly into the substrate. In this context, it is preferred to use highly hydroinsoluble antimicrobial active substances such as those derived from heavy metals. Examples of nonsoluble antimicrobial substances include zinc pyrithione, bismuth pyrithione, copper naphthelate, copper hydroxyquinoline and the like. Other examples of active substances which do not use heavy metals include dichloro-triacinatrione and trichloro-s-triacinatrione.

D2. Pre-moistened cloths for floors, countertops and / or walls The aqueous cleaning compositions described in sections B and C above can be used in a pre-moistened cloth * - * "# &, • for general purposes, counter walls, walls and floor cleaning. The descriptions of materials and processes described above in the "T ^ JK, Sections D and D1, are also applicable for cleaning methods for floor, backing and walls, and are particularly advantageous in the context" > floor cloths have structures with a three-dimensional condition. three-dimensional structure of the substrates described in the above has been found that provides an improved uptake of hair in relation to the flat sheets, in which a moist surface environment is surprising. In a preferred embodiment, the user advantageously utilizes 10 light undulating movements in a mop pattern up and down to maximize hair pickup. The optimum wet condition of prewetted wipes is from about 1 to about 5 g of solution per gram of cloth. In the context of a pre-moistened cloth for cleaning floors, the substrate 15 can optionally include an absorbent core reservoir layer with a large capacity to absorb and retain fluid. Preferably, the layer of absorbent reservoir has a fluid capacity of about 5 to about 15 g per gram of absorbent material. The pre-moistened cloths designed to be used for cleaning walls, 20 outer surfaces, etc., will have an absorbent capacity of about 2 to about 10 g of liquid per gram of dry fibrous substrate.

? "Since there is no rinsing stage in the context of a general purpose pre-moistened cloth, it is essential that the non-volatile content is kept to a minimum to avoid film formation / scratching by product residues. In this way, the active materials described in 'section C. "general purpose and conventional floor cleaners", are preferably used at lower concentrations, for a better final result. Furthermore, it has also been found that compositions consisting mainly of organic hydrophobic cleaning solvents can provide an excellent final result together with good cleaning in the context of a general purpose pre-moistened cloth for reasons similar to those described in pre-moistened glass cloths. . It is advantageous to be able to use shock absorbers with molecular weights of less than approximately 150 g / mol to improve cleaning without impairing the performance of the final result. Examples of preferred buffers include ammonia, methanolamine, ethanolamine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol, acetic acid, glycolic acid and the like. Most preferred among these are ammonia, 2-dimethylamino-2-methyl-propanol and acetic acid. When used, these buffers are present in concentrations of about 0.005% to about 0.5% where the highest concentrations are most preferred for the more volatile chemicals. As in the case of glass cloths (section D1.), It has been found that simple compositions using low concentrations of surfactant do not The volatile w with preferably high concentrations of the preferred organic cleaning solvent are sufficient to provide excellent cleaning and wetting ability even in the absence of the hydrophilic polymer. However, the polymer addition can advantageously be used to provide other benefits such as stain removal, anti-fogging and easier cleaning the next time. To provide additional comfort, general purpose pre-moistened cloths can be attached to the head of a «* -r mop, with a handle. In such an execution, the pre-moistened cloth is ideal 10 for light cleaning and disinfection. Since the amount of solution released from cloth is much more limited than that supplied through cleaning • ** * & conventional, you need to use very effective antimicrobial systems. In one such composition, the general purpose and floor pre-moistened cloth may contain a solution comprising an effective concentration of detergent surfactant and citric acid at about 0.5 to about 5%. To enhance the effectiveness of such a solution, hydrogen peroxide or a source of hydrogen peroxide may be added, at about 0.5% to about 3%. An alternative composition may use quaternary ammonium salts such as dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, didecyldimethylammonium chloride, C12 dimethylbenzylammonium chloride, Cu and C-iß, at concentrations greater than about 0.05%. It has been found that such compositions often interfere with the benefits of the preferred polymers. While feí. - & amp; , * compositions containing mainly the organic cleaning solvents described above in concentrations of about 0.25 to about 10%, more preferably 0.5% to about 5% to provide cleaning and wetting, in combination with non-volatile buffers described in the foregoing. The low concentrations of non-volatile substances include polymeric hydrophilic and may be advantageously incorporated so that the total concentration of non-volatile substances, excluding perfume and antimicrobials, is from about 0% to about 0.08%, most preferably 0% at about 0.055%, and much more preferably from about 0% to about 0.025%. In a preferred embodiment, the combination of surfactants, wetting polymers, buffers and hydrophobic organic cleaning solvents is chosen so as to provide a reduction in water surface tension (72 dynes / cm) greater than about 25 dynes / cm. more preferably greater than 30 dynes / cm, and much more preferably greater than 35 dynes / cm. Optionally, low concentrations of ingredients most effective antimicrobials such as bronopol, hexitidine sold by Angus chemical (211 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois, USA), KathonMR, 2 - ((hydroxymethyl) (amino) ethanol, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxymethylaminoacetate, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, ammonium salts Quaternary such as He dioctyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, didecyldimethylammonium chloride, C-12 dimethylbenzyl, C14 and C16 (BardacMR 2280 and BarquatMR MB-80 sold by Lonza), dichloro-s-triazinetrione, trichloro-s-triazinetrione and more preferable 1,2-benzisothiazolyl-3-one sold by Avicia Chemicals, chlorhexidine diacetate sold by Aldrich-Sigma, sodium pyrithione and polyhexamethylene biguanide at about 0.001% to about 0.1%, more preferably from about 0.005% to about 0.05 % are added to preserve and / or provide antimicrobial benefits.An important benefit of the wet wipes of the present invention is the fact that a suitable lesson of the antimicrobial substances combined with the lack of rinsing stage as preferred in the present invention and the lack of a rubbing stage (consumers have the habit of cleaning the floors and backstops until a wet final result), allows you to enjoy the benefits of disinfection, residual. By residual disinfection is meant that the residual antimicrobial active substances that are supplied in the wet cloth on the hard surface are at least about 99.9% bactericidal against bacteria and other microorganisms for a period of about 8 to about 72 hours, so more preferable from about 12 to about preferable of at least about 24 hours. Although residual disinfection can be obtained using conventional solutions (eg spraying product with a paper towel, sponge, cloth, etc.), the pre-moistened cloth has the added convenience of providing the cleaning and disinfecting benefits in a package. The residual properties resulting from a combination of a low vapor pressure and a high bactericidal efficacy of the antimicrobial active substances associated with the compositions of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize the residual disinfection benefits, if present in the context of compositions comprising a very low concentration of surfactant, are even more readily obtained in compositions wherein the concentration of surfactants is increased. The residual disinfection, in addition to an excellent final result, can provide consumers with an additional assurance of the effectiveness of the wet cloth. Such additional security is most important for tasks such as cleaning surfaces that are particularly susceptible to harboring germs, most notably backstops, stove tops, devices, wands, furniture, showers, glass and other devices that are close by. or inside the kitchen or the bathrooms. Preferred antimicrobial active substances for residual benefit are supplied from a damp cloth or a dry cloth that is * Moisture as a result of contact with a wet composition during the cleaning process including Kathon ™, 2- (hydroxymethyl) (amino) ethanol, propylene glycol, sodium hydroxymethyl aminoacetate, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, quaternary ammonium salts such as dioctyl chloride dimethylammonium, octyldecyldimethylammonium chloride, didecyldimethylammonium chloride, C12 dimethylbenzyl, C? 4 and C-? 6 (BardacMR 2280 and BarquatMR MB-80 sold by Lonza), dichloro-s-triacinatrione, trichloro-s- - * triazinetrione and more preferably tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS), 1,2-benzisothiazole? n-3-one, sold by Avicia Chemicals, chlorhexidine diacetate sold by Aldrich-Sigma, sodium pyrithione and polyhexamethylene biguanide at about 0.001 % to about 0.1%, more preferably from about 0.005% to about 0.05% .The specific antimicrobial active substances and combinations thereof can be used. in choosing so that they are effective against specific baceterias, as desired by the formulator. Preferably, the antimicrobial active substances are chosen to be effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, and molds that are usually present in the homes of consumers, hot-houses, restaurants, commercial establishments and hospitals. Most preferably, the antimicrobials provide residual disinfection against Salmonella choleraesis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus saureus and Escherichia coli, and combinations thereof. Whenever possible, active substances against more than one bacterial organism, and more preferably against * ?? at least one gram-negative organism and at least one gram-positive organism. * 5 The inventors have found that residual disinfection can also be obtained or improved using pH. The use of low concentrations of surfactants to reduce surface tension and more than *. * * about 25 dynes / cm, preferably more than about 30 * dynes / cm, advantageously it can be used in combination with the effects of the pH in the context of a pre-moistened cloth. In this way, compositions with a pH of 10.5 or greater, or a pH of 3 or less are found to provide the desired residual efficacy. The preferred hydrophilic substantive polymer can be used to improve residual protection, particularly for volatile active substances such as acetic acid. The use of pH can also help to reduce the level of the previous active substances necessary to obtain residual protection. Preferred active substances which are effective as a result of pH include lactic acid, glycolic acid, Ce, Cg, C- fatty acids, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. 20 This solution, that is, the use of a combination of j-hydrophobic organic solvent plus volatile buffer plus optionally E * low concentrations of non-volatile raw materials to provide a superior final result, in combination with antimicrobial substances Effective and little scratching, they can be used in various applications practices described herein, which include general purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, glass cleaning cloths, solutions used with disposable pads (either with or without mop implements). The use of low concentrations of non-volatile substances in the compositions of the invention presents a challenge for the incorporation of perfume. Some methods to improve the solubility of perfume are described below. However, in some cases, particularly when hydrophobic perfumes are desired, the incorporation of perfume can be problematic. To solve this problem, the inventors have advantageously found that perfume delivery can be obtained by directly applying concentrated perfume to either the cloth (or pad). In this way, you can use virtually any perfume. To minimize any negative residue that may be caused by the concentrated perfume, the perfume is preferably applied to the perimeter of the pad or cloth, or to areas that do not have direct contact with the surface to be treated. In another form, the perfume can also be added in a package that contains the cloths. In a similar manner, the use of low concentrations of non-volatile active substances makes it more difficult to incorporate effective soapy water suppressors into the aqueous composition. It has been found that soapy water suppressors can be applied more easily and more effectively directly to the cloth to avoid the control of soapy water. It has been found that this not only solves the consumer's perception of excess sudsing, but surprisingly has also demonstrated an improved end result on the dried surface. In addition, it has been found that the application of soapy water suppressant directly on the cloths makes the process much easier through better control of soapy water during processing and packaging. Preferred soapy water suppressors are those that are effective at concentrations not greater than about 0.1 grams of soapy water suppressant 10 per gram of substrate, more preferably, at concentrations less than about 0.01 grams of soapy water suppressant per gram of substrate, more preferably less than about 0.005 grams of soapy water suppressant per gram of substrate. The most preferred soapy water suppressant in this context is DC AF, manufactured by 15 Dow Corning company. The use of soapy water suppressors to improve surface appearance is particularly important since these materials are effective at very low concentrations.

aqueous solvent, which comprises water and an optional water-soluble solvent, and wherein the composition has a pH under conditions of use of from about 2 to about 12, preferably from about 3 to about 11.5, the concentration of hydrophobic materials including cleaning solvents Hydrophobic is limited. These detergent compositions are used in combination with a cleaning pad, preferably superabsorbent, disposable, which preferably is attached to an implement that facilitates its use. Preferred detergent compositions which can be used with the preferred pads containing superabsorbent material and optional implement, described in the following, require sufficient detergent to allow dissolution and provide cleaning without overloading the superabsorbent material with solution, but usually, if there is more of about 0.5% detergent surfactant, the operation gets worse. Therefore, the concentration of detergent surfactant is preferably from about 0.001% to about 0.5%, more preferably from about 0.005% to about 0.4%, and even more preferably from about 0.02% to about 0.3% by weight of the composition. The concentration of hydrophobic materials, including cleaning solvent, is preferably less than about 7%, more preferably less than about 6%, and even more preferably less than • 5%, and the pH is usually provided, at least in part, by volatile materials, to minimize the problems of streaking / film formation.

Preferably, the compositions should be essentially free of materials that cause problems of film / scratch formation. Accordingly, it is desirable to use alkaline materials that do not cause film formation and / or scratching for most of the buffers. Suitable alkaline buffers are carbonates, bicarbonates, citrates, and so on.

Mixtures of this type are described in the U.S. Patent. No. 4,999,129, entitled "Process and composition for washing soiled polyester * fabrics", by Michale Hull. In another preferred embodiment, similar to the teachings on glass and floor cloths, using high concentrations of an organic cleaning solvent and at the same time minimizing the concentration of non-volatile ingredients can be advantageous, resulting in good cleaning without leaving turbidity or striations particularly on surfaces that are considered clean as ceramic material. These compositions mainly contain the organic cleaning solvents from about 0.5% to about 10%, more preferably from 1% to about 5%, to provide cleaning and wetting, in combination with the non-volatile buffers described above. The low concentrations of non-volatile substances including hydrophilic polymer can be advantageously incorporated so that the total concentration of non-volatile substances excluding perfume and antimicrobials is from about 0% to about 0.2%, more preferably from "* - 0% to about 0.1%, and more preferably from about 0% to about 0.055%, and most preferably from about 0% to about 0.025%. Further, in the case of glass and floor cloths, backstops and wall cloths, the inventors have found that simple compositions using low concentrations of non-volatile surfactant preferably with high concentrations of preferred organic cleaning solvent are sufficient to provide excellent performance in cleaning and wetting, even in the absence of the hydrophilic polymer. However, the addition of polymer can advantageously be used to provide other benefits k? such as preventing spots from forming, antifogging and cleaning more * # easy the next time. In a preferred embodiment, the composition of surfactants, wetting polymers, buffers and hydrophobic organic cleaning solvents are chosen so as to provide a reduction in surface tension of water (72 dynes / cm) or more than about 25 dynes / cm, so more preferable, more than 30 dynes / cm, and much more preferably more than 35 dynes / cm.

The confining pressure represents a usual pressure. As such, the cleaning pad should be able to absorb significant amounts of the cleaning solution within this period of 1200 seconds under 0.62 kPa (0.09 psi) .The cleaning pad will preferably have an absorbent capacity t At least about 15 g / g, more preferably about 20 g / g, and even more preferably at least about 25 g / g, and much more preferably at least about 30 g / g, and most preferably at least about g / g The cleaning pad will preferably have an absorbent capacity t90o of at least about 10 g / g, more preferably an absorbing capacity. t90o of at least about 20 g / g. The values for absorbent capacity t-? 2oo and tgoo are measured by the operation method under pressure (hereinafter referred to as "PUP"), which is described in detail in the Test Methods section, in the application granted serial number 08 / 756,507, Holt, Masters and Ping, filed on November 26, 1996, such request is hereby incorporated in its entirety as a reference. The application contains a more complete description of the pads, instruments, etc. that are of use in the present.

Cleaning pads also preferably, although not necessarily, will have a total fluid capacity (deionized water) of at least about 100 g, more preferably at least about 200 g, still more preferably at least about 100 g. less about 300 g, and much more preferably at least about 400 g. Although pads having an e-"total fluid capacity of less than 100 g are within the scope of the invention, they are not as suitable for cleaning large areas, as is observed in routine maintenance of a house, compared to 10 pads of higher capacity Pads that absorb less than about 10 ° C, or less, can be considered advantageous, particularly when used in conjunction with preferred liquid compositions described above for cleaning and disinfecting smaller areas such as floors of a bathroom or for cleaning. Consumers who habitually have smaller areas of washable floors in their home, are approximately 9.3 m2 (100 square feet) or * ** less.In these situations, consumers will be less driven to keep pads used partially and which still have available capacity These cushions can also be advantageous in that they can be They are more suitable for catching splashes when you do not want to keep pads used again, j * partially. This pad may be comprised of an absorbent structure with or without superabsorbent polymers.

In the pads there is preferably an absorbent layer * • * • < - which serves to retain any fluid and stain absorbed by the cleaning pad during use and a rubbing layer. Although the preferred rubbing layer, described in the following, has some effect on the ability of the pad to absorb fluid, the preferred absorbent layer plays a major role in obtaining the desired total absorbency. In addition, the absorbent layer preferably comprises multiple layers which are designed to provide the cleaning pad with multiple flat surfaces. From the perspective of essential fluid absorbency, the absorbent layer is preferably capable of removing fluid and stains from any "rubbing layer", so that the rubbing layer will be able to continuously remove surface stains. The absorbent layer would preferably also be able to retain the absorbed material under usual pressures of use to avoid the "squeeze out" of the absorbed stains., cleaning solution, etcetera. The absorbent layer may comprise any material that is capable of absorbing and retaining fluid during use. To obtain the desired total fluid capacities, it will be preferable to include in the absorbent layer a material having a relatively high fluid capacity (in terms of grams of fluid per grams of absorbent material). As used herein, the term "superabsorbent material" means any absorbent material having a g / g capacity for water of at least about 15 g / g, when measured under a confining pressure of 2.1 kPa (0.3 psi). Because most of the cleaning fluids useful in the present invention are based on aqueous materials, it is preferred that the superabsorbent materials have a relatively high g / g capacity for aqueous or water-based fluids. Representative superabsorbent materials include water-insoluble, water-insoluble superabsorbent gelling polymers (herein referred to as "superabsorbent gelling polymers") which are well known in the literature. These materials show very high absorbent capacities for water. The superabsorbent gelling polymers used in the present invention may have a size, shape and / or morphology that varies over a wide range. These polymers may be in the form of particles which do not have a large ratio of their largest dimension with respect to their smallest dimension (eg granules, flakes, powdery material, aggregates between particles, cross-linked aggregates and the like), or they may be in the form of fibers, sheets, films, foams, laminates and the like. The use of superabsorbent gelling polymers in fibrous form provides the benefit of providing increased retention of the superabsorbent material, relative to the particles during the cleaning process. Although their capacity is generally lower for mixtures based on aqueous materials, these materials still demonstrate significant absorbent capacity for such mixtures. The patent literature is full of descriptions of example, the Patent of E.U.A. No. June 1972; the Patent of E. June 1972; Patent reissued on April 19, 1989; the Patent of E.U.A. 4,834,735 (Alemany et al.), Issued May 30, 1989. i The superabsorbent gelling polymers used in the present invention include various water insoluble polymers but > expandable in water capable of absorbing large quantities of fluids. Such polymeric materials are also commonly referred to as "hydrocolloids" and may include polysaccharides such as carboxymethyl starch, carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose; such nonionic types with polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl ethers; cationic types such as polyvinyl pyridine, polyvinyl morpholine and N, N-dimethylaminoethyl or N, N-diethylaminopropyl acrylates and methacrylates, and the respective quaternary salts thereof. Well-known materials are described with * "greater detail, for example, in US Patent 4,076,663 (Masuda et al), # • issued February 28, 1978, and in US Patent 4,062,817 (Westerman), issued on December 13, 1977, both incorporated by reference.The preferred superabsorbent gelling polymers contain carboxy groups.These polymers include starch graft liming (hydrolyzate-acrylonitriles, starch graft copolymers. partially neutralized hydrolyzate-acrylonitrile, starch-acrylic acid graft copolymers, partially neutralized starch graft copolymers-acrylic acid, saponified vinyl acetate-acrylic ester flake, hydrolyzed acrylonitrile or acrylonitrile copolymers, lightly networked cross-linked polymers any of the above copolymers, partially neutralized polyacrylic acid and slightly network cross-linked polymers of partially neutralized polyacrylic acid. These polymers can be used alone or in forms of a mixture of two or more different polymers. Examples of these polymeric materials are described in the U.S.A. 3,661, 875, the patent of E.U.A. 4,076,663, the US patent. 4,093,776, the patent of E.U.A. 4,666,983, and the patent of E.U.A. 4,734,478, all of the patents are incorporated by reference. The most preferred polymeric materials for use in the manufacture of superabsorbent gelling polymers are lightly network crosslinked polymers or partially neutralized polyacrylic acids and starch derivatives thereof. More preferably, the hydrogel-forming absorbent polymers comprise of r. about 50 to about 95%, preferably 75%, of lightly c-linked pliacyl acid in neutralized network (ie, poly (sodium acrylate / acrylic acid)). The network clinking renders the polymer substantially water insoluble and, in part, determines the absorptive capacity and the extractable polymer content characteristics of the superabsorbent gelling polymers. The processes for network reticulation of these polymers and the usual network crosslinking agents are described in greater detail in the US patent. 4,076,663. Although the superabsorbent gelling polymers are preferably of one type (ie homogeneous), mixtures of polymers can also be used in the implements of the present invention. For example, mixtures of starch-acrylic acid graft copolymers * and lightly crosslinked polymers in partially neutralized polyacrylic acid network can be used in the present invention. "Although any of the superabsorbent gelling polymers described in the prior art may be useful in the present invention, where important concentrations (eg, greater than about 50% by weight of the absorbent structure) of superabsorbent gelling polymers are also included in a Absorbent structure and in particular, when one or more regions of the absorbent layer will comprise more than about 50% by weight of the region, the problem of gel blocking by the expanded particles can impede fluid flow and therefore affect adversely the ability of gelling polymers to absorb at full capacity in the desired period of time US Patent 5,147,343 (Kellenberger et al.), issued September 15, 1992 and US Patent 5,149,335 (Kellenberger et al. ), issued September 22, 1992, describe superabsorbent gelling polymers in terms of of its absorbency under load (AUL), where the gelling polymers absorb fluid (solution 0.9% saline) under a confining pressure of 2.1 kPa (0.3 psi). (The description of each of these patents is incorporated herein by reference). The methods for determining AUL are described in these patents. The polymers described herein may be particularly useful in embodiments of the present invention that contain regions of relatively high concentrations of superabsorbent gelling polymers. In particular, when high concentrations of super absorbent gelling polymer are incorporated in the cleaning pad, these polymers will preferably have an AUL measured according to the methods described in the U.S.A. 5,147,343, of at least v about 24 ml / g, more preferably at least about 27 ml / g after 1 hour, or an AUL, measured according to the methods described in the US patent. 5,149,335, of at least 15 ml / g, more preferably of at least about 18 ml / g after 15 minutes. The requests of E.U.A. commonly assigned, serial numbers 08 / 219,547 (Goldman et al.), filed March 29, 1994 and 08 / 416,396 (Goldman et al.), filed April 6, 1995 (both incorporated by reference herein) , also solve the problem of blocking gel and describe superabsorbent gelling polymers useful to solve this phenomenon. These applications specifically describe superabsorbent gelling polymers which prevent gel blocking even at higher confining pressures, specifically 4.8 kPa The absorbent will contain regions comprising high concentrations (eg, greater than about 50% by weight of the region) of super absorbent gelling polymer, it may be preferred that the super absorbent gelling polymer be as described in the applications mentioned above by Goldman et al. Other useful superabsorbent materials will include hydrophilic polymeric foams such as those described in the US patent application. commonly assigned, serial number 08 / 563,866 (DesMarais et al.), filed November 29, 1995 and US patent A. serial number 5,387,207 (Dyer et al.), issued February 7, 1995. These references describe polymeric hydrophilic absorbent foams which are obtained by polymerizing a high internal phase water-in-oil emulsion (commonly referred to as HIPE). These foams are easily adapted to provide variable physical properties (pore size), capillary suction, density, etc.) that alter the ability to handle fluids. As such, these materials are particularly useful alone, or in combination with other foams or with fibrous structures, in providing the total capacity needed by the present invention. When super absorbent material is included in the absorbent layer, the absorbent layer will preferably comprise at least about 15% by weight of the absorbent layer, more preferably at least about 20%, even more preferably at least about 25% of superabsobent material.

The absorbent layer may also consist or comprise% * ~ * fibrous material. Fibers useful in the present invention include those - K that occur naturally (modified or unmodified) as well as »> synthetically produced fibers. Examples of naturally occurring, non-modified / modified, suitable fibers include cotton, esparto grass, (bagasse), hemp, flax, silk, wool, wood pulp, chemically modified wood pulp, jute, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate. Suitable synthetic fibers can be made from polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polytetrafloroethylene, polyvinylidene chloride, materials 10 polyacrylics such as ORLONMR, polyvinyl acetate, Rayon®, polyethyl vinyl acetate, insoluble or soluble polyvinyl alcohol, polyfines such as polyethylene (for example PULPEX®) and polypropylene, polyamides such as nylon, (polyesters) such as DACRONM® or KODELMR, polyurethanes, (polyesters) and the like. The absorbent layer may comprise only .3 15 * fibers that occur naturally, only synthetic fibers or any compatible combination of fibers that occur naturally and synthetically. The fibers used herein may be hydrophilic, hydrophobic or may be a combination of hydrophilic fibers e *. * *% 20 hydrophobic. As indicated above, the particular selection of hydrophilic or hydrophobic fibers depends on the other materials included in the absorbent layer (and to a certain extent on the rubbing). That is, the nature of the fibers will be such that the cleaning pad shows the necessary fluid delay and the total fluid absorbency. Hydrophilic fibers suitable for use in the present invention include cellulosic fibers, modified r-jf A-cellulosic fibers, rayon, polyester fibers such as hydrophilic nylon (HYDROFILM). Hydrophilic fibers can also be obtained by hydrophilizing hydrophobic fibers, such as surfactant-treated or silica-treated thermoplastic fibers derived, for example, from polyolefins such as polyethylene or polypropylene, polyacrylics, polyamides, polystyrenes, polyurethanes and the like. Suitable wood pulp fibers can be obtained from well-known chemical processes such as the Kraft and sulfite process. It is especially preferred to derive this wood pulp fiber from southern soft woods due to its additional absorbency characteristics. These wood pulp fibers can also be obtained from mechanical processes such as ground wood, mechanical refining, thermomechanical, chemomechanical and quimitermomechanical processes of pulp. Recycled or secondary wood pulp fibers as well as bleached or unbleached wood pulp fibers can also be used. Another type of hydrophilic fiber for use of the present invention are chemically rigidified cellulosic fibers. As used herein, the term "chemically rigidified cellulosic fibers" means cellulosic fibers that have been rigidified by chemical means to increase the stiffness of the fibers under dry and aqueous conditions. Such means may include the addition of a chemical agent imparting rigidity such as, for example, 13 example, coatings and / or impregnated fibers. Such a medium can also include stiffening of the fibers by altering the chemical structure, for example, by crosslinking polymer chains. When the fibers are used as the absorbent layer (or a constituent component thereof), the fibers can optionally be combined with a thermoplastic material. When melted, at least a portion of the thermoplastic material migrates to the intersections of the fibers,. "* usually due to capillarity gradients between the fibers, these intersections become binding sites for the thermoplastic material. When cooled, the thermoplastic materials these intersections solidify to form the binding sites that hold the matrix or substrate of the fibers together in each of the respective layers.; beneficial to provide additional total integrity of the cleaning pad. Among its various effects, the bonding at the intersections of fibers increases the total understanding module and the strength of the resulting thermally bonded member. In the case of chemically rigidified cellulosic fibers, the melting and migration of the thermoplastic material also has the effect of increasing the average pore size of the resulting substrate, while maintaining the density and basis weight of the substrate as originally formed. This can improve the fluid acquisition properties * > of the substrate thermally bonded to the initial exposure to fluid, due to the improved fluid permeability, and to a subsequent exposure, due to the wetting and the ability of the thermoplastic material to remain attached at the intersections of fiber before wetting and wet compression. In the thermally bonded, networked substrates, of rigidified fibers that retain their original total volume, but with the volumetric regions previously occupied by the thermoplastic material that becomes open and therefore increases the capillary pore size between the average fibers. * The thermoplastic materials used in the present invention can be any of a variety of shapes including particulate materials, fibers or combinations of particulate materials and fibers. Thermoplastic fibers are a particularly preferred form due to their ability to form numerous bonding sites between the fibers. Suitable thermoplastic materials can be made from any thermoplastic polymer that can be melted at temperatures that do not extensively damage the fibers comprising the primary substrate or matrix of each layer. Preferably, the melting point of this thermoplastic material will be less than about 190 ° C, and preferably between about 75 ° C and about 175 ° C. In any case, the melting point of this thermoplastic material must be no greater than the temperature at which thermally bonded absorbent structures, when used in cleaning pads, are likely to be stored. The melting point of the thermoplastic material is currently not less than about 50 ° C. Thermoplastic materials, and in particular thermoplastic fibers, can be made from various thermoplastic polymers including polyolefins such as polyethylene (for example PULPEX ™) and polypropylene, polyesters, or copol esters, polyvinyl acetate, polyethyl vinyl acetate, polyvinyl, polyvinylidene chloride, polyacrylics, polyamides, copolyamides, polystyrene, polyurethanes and copolymers of any of the foregoing such as vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate and 10 similar. Depending on the characteristics desired for the resultant thermally bonded absorbent member, suitable thermoplastic materials include hydrophobic fibers that have become hydrophilic, such as thermoplastic fibers treated with surfactant or treated with silica, fibers derived, for example, from polyolefins such as polyethylene or 15 polypropylene, polyacrylics, polyamides, polystyrenes, polyurethanes and the like. The surface of the hydrophobic thermoplastic fiber can be rendered hydrophilic by treatment with a surfactant such as a nonionic or anionic surfactant, for example by spraying the fiber with a surfactant, by immersing the fiber in a surfactant or by including the surfactant as part 20 of the molten polymer in the manufacture of the thermoplastic fiber. Upon melting and resolidification the surfactant will tend to remain on the surfaces of the thermoplastic fiber. Suitable surfactants include nonionic active surfactants such as BrijMR76 manufactured by ICI Americas, Inc., of Wilmington, ionic, anionic surfactants can also be used. These surfactants can be applied to the thermoplastic fibers at concentrations for example, from about 0.2 to about 1 g per square centimeter of thermoplastic fiber. Suitable thermoplastic fibers can be made from a single polymer (monocomponent fibers) or can be made from more than one polymer (for example bicomponent fibers). As used herein, "bicomponent fibers" refers to fibers 10 thermoplastics comprising a core fiber made of a polymer that is enclosed within a thermoplastic sheath made of a different polymer. The polymer comprising the fiber is often melted at a different temperature, usually lower, in comparison with the polymer comprising the core. As a result, these bicomponent fibers provide thermal bonding due to melting of the sheath polymer and at the same time retain desirable strength characteristics of the core polymer. Bicomponent fibers suitable for use in the present invention may include sheath / core fibers having the following polymer combinations: polyethylene / polypropylene, polyethyl vinyl acetate / polypropylene, polyethylene / polyester, copolyester / polyester, and the like. Particularly suitable bicomponent thermoplastic fibers for use herein are those having a core of polypropylene or polyester and a copolyester with a lower melting point, polyethyl vinyl acetate or liner polyethylene (for example, those available from Danaklon a / s, Chisso Corpo., and CELBOND R available from Hercules). These bicomponent fibers may be concentric or eccentric, as used herein, the terms 5"concentric" and "eccentric" refers to whether the sheath has a thickness that is uniform or irregular across the cross-sectional area of the fiber two-component Eccentric bicomponent fibers may be desirable in providing more compression strength at lower fiber thicknesses. Methods for preparing bonded fibrous materials • 9 * 0 thermally are described in the application of E.U.A. serial number 08 / 479,096 (Richards et al.,), filed July 3, 1995 (see especially pages 16-20) and the patent of E.U.A. 5,549,589 (Horney et al.), Issued August 27, 1996 (see especially columns 9 to 10). The descriptions of both references are incorporated herein by reference. The absorbent layer may also comprise a hydrophilic, hydrophilic foam derived from HIPE that does not have the high absorbency of those described above as "superabsorbent materials". Such foams and methods for their preparation are described in the patent E.U.A. 5,550,167 0 (DesMarais), issued on August 27, 1996; and commonly given as patent application of E.U.A. serial number 08 / 370,695 (Stone et al.), filed January 10, 1995 (both are incorporated by reference herein). "" 5 * The absorbent layer of the cleaning pad may be made of a homogeneous material such as a combination of cellulosic fibers (optionally thermally bonded), and a super absorbent, expandable gelling polymer. Alternately, the absorbent layer may be constituted of separate layers of material, such as a layer of air-laid, thermally bonded material and a separate layer of a super-absorbent material. For example, a thermally bonded layer of cellulosic fibers can be located lower than (i.e. below) the super absorbent material (i.e., between the super absorbent material and the rubbing layer). In order to obtain a high absorption capacity and "fluid retention under pressure, and at the same time provide an initial delay in the uptake of fluid, it may be preferable to use such separate layers when the absorbent layer is formed. Absorbent should be located away from the rubbed layer by including a less absorbent layer as the lowermost appearance of the absorbent cap.For example a layer of cellulosic fibers can be located in the lower part (ie below) of the super absorbent material (ie between the super absorbent material and the rubbing layer.) In a preferred embodiment, the absorbent layer comprises a heat-bonded, air-laid substrate of cellulose fibers (Flint River, available from Weyerhaeuser, Wa) and AL Thermal C (thermoplastic available from Danaklon a / s, Varde, Denmark) and an expandable hydrogel-forming super absorbent polymer. substantially softening and emulsifying the resistant spots and allowing it to freely pass into the absorbent layer of the pad. The rubbing layer preferably contains ridges (e.g. grooves) that provide an easy path for larger particulate spots to move freely and become trapped within the absorbent layer of the pad. The use of low density structures as a rubbing layer is preferred to facilitate the transport of particulate material to the absorbent layer of the pad. To provide the integrity you want, materials particularly suitable for the rubbing layer include synthetic materials such as polyolefins (eg polyethylene and polypropylene), polyesters, polyamides, synthetic cellulose materials (for example Rayon ™) and combinations thereof. Such synthetic materials can be manufactured using known processes such as carding, spunbonding, meltblowing, airlaying, needle punching and the like. The cleaning pads of the present invention optionally have a tie layer which allows the pad to be connected to an implement handle or a support head on the preferred implements. The tie layer will be necessary in those embodiments where the absorbent layer is not suitable for attachment of the pad to the handle support head. The tie layer can also function as a means to prevent fluid from flowing through the upper surface (i.e., the surface in contact with the handle) of the cleaning pad, and can prop the pad. As with the rubbing layers and the absorbent layer, the bonding layer may consist of a monolayer or a multilayer structure, insofar as it satisfies the above requirements. The tie layer may comprise a surface which is capable of mechanically attaching to the handle support head by the use of the known hook and loop technology. In such an embodiment, the tie layer will comprise at least one surface which can be mechanically attached to the hooks that are permanently attached to the bottom surface of the handle support head. To obtain the fluid impervious condition and the desired bonding capacity, it is preferred that a laminated structure consisting of, for example, a meltblown film and a fibrous fibrous structure be used. In a preferred embodiment, the tie layer is a three layer material having a layer of meltblown polypropylene film which is located between the two layers of spin-bonded polypropylene.

Processing process: The present compositions can be made by joining and mixing all the ingredients. It has been found that for maximum solubilization of perfume in compositions in which the active substances are present at low concentrations, an addition order is necessary * * ".- £» -, favorite. This involves the preparation of a pre-mix as well as the perfume compositions described in the above which you want is added to the product "bases". The premix comprises raw materials added in the following order: surfactants, if any, at about 25% activity or higher, then the perfume, then the polymer, then the optional soapy water suppressant. In some cases, it is helpful to add one or more solvents and / or the optional buffer, to the premix before the optional soapy water suppressant. Deep mixing of the premix provides the best results. The premix is then added to the base, which contains water and the other components. The combined mixture (ie, the premix in the base) is then mixed to obtain a homogeneous solution. Another preferred method for incorporating the maximum of perfume in the compositions with limited surfactant is to generate a premix in which perfume is added to a mixture of dexcrine cycle in an aqueous medium. Alternatively, the perfume-cyclodextrin mixture can be formed in advance before premixing. This solution ensures maximum incorporation of perfume in the composition and can provide perfume to the compositions with little or no surfactant. In some cases, the solubilization of perfume can not be obtained, even with the preferred processing methods. However, * f i in applications such as, but not limited to, backstops and floor cleaners, the entire heterogeneous composition can be added directly to the article of use. Examples where this method of use is desirable include pre-moistened cloths, dry absorbent substrates used together with solution. In cases where the concentration of surfactant substances does not limit the solubility of perfume in the compositions, the single-step processing process can be carried out. For example, an acceptable order of addition is first to incorporate water, any detergent surfactant / organic acid, followed by a cleansing, hydrophobic solvent. Once the solvent is added, the pH is used to the optimum according to? 10 is desired, by whoever makes the formulation. The polymer can then be added followed by any optional peroxide, perfume and / or dye.

F. Compositions of "perfumes" The compositions described in sections A, B, C, D, and v Advantageously, previous E's can be used in concentrated form due to their ability to solubilize important concentrations of perfume via hydrophilic polymer. For example, perfumes not completely soluble in water at 100 parts per million can be dissolved using approximately 0.05% or more hydrophilic polymer. Additionally, the preferred alkyl polyglucoside at low concentrations can be used to improve the solubility of the perfume. By means of the term low concentrations are meant lower concentrations of approximately 0.05% of polymer to dissolve / disperse perfumes is further improved. This is beneficial given that it maintains the amount of non-volatile materials at low concentration to minimize waste. For example, 0.5% of the preferred alkyl polyglycoside with 0.5% PVNO can be used to dissolve up to about 0.5% perfume. At lower surfactant and hydrophilic polymer concentrations, a larger ratio of perfume to active substances can be dissolved. Therefore, the combination of 0.03% and 0.015% alkyl polyglycoside can dissolve up to (f "10 approximately 0.1% perfume, while other nonionic * substances can only dissolve about half the concentration of the perfume G. Methods of Use 15 Preferred methods of use, the compositions herein are distributed over substantially all of the shower, bath tub *, floor, back cover, walls, glass and the like using either a > ** • w * spray container or when dispensing the device with a sponge, cloth, mop, cloth, roller, absorbent pad, pre-moistened cloth and similar. Preferably, substantially uniform distributions. It is an advantage of the type of the product herein that no rinsing is needed and, in fact, it may be counterproductive that the efficiency of the method is improved by lack of rinsing. The polymer is mainly effective as ** & > > '• Af-Si? -fe, * 142 a result of staying on the surface to make it hydrophilic. In fact, the method may comprise applying only an aqueous solution of the polymer, or the polymer plus the perfume, to the surface. The instructions for use are written in such a way that they are understandable to the users, in the packaging or in the advertising (for example, printed sheets, coupons, advertisements, etc.). Through "so that they are understandable to the user", they mean that consumers are instructed on how to use the product preferably, for example "apply five asperciones of the product on an area of 0.19m2 (two ** 10 square feet), use an electric sprinkler device to cover the entire walls of the shower "or" use a lid full of concentrated floor cleaner, diluted in half a bucket of water ", for best results. The measurement units provided to consumers will reflect consumer understanding, for example the 15 English dosage units will be preferred in the United States and the metric units will be used in most European nations. Images can be used, with or without words to help carry out the instructions in a way that is understandable to users. The special packaging design could also be used with advantage to present instructions in a legible way for users. An inorganic appearance can also make the use of the product more intuitive, with or without words and images. In particular, the package can be designed to facilitate adequate supply. Although all of the # * • * continuation (in the following) is written in metric units; It is understood that these units were converted into instructions in a legible wording for consumers in the actual product packaging, advertising, etc., as illustrated in the above. The use of the compositions herein, as opposed to the types of compositions sold hitherto to treat hard surfaces, provides improved performance. A method in which a detergent composition comprising the alkyl polyglycoside of eight to sixteen preferred carbon atoms, especially the surfactant of * * " * -f3, * 10 alkyl polyglycoside with a broad alkyl distribution, to bath surfaces as part of a treatment after each shower or bath to keep the surfaces in a clean condition and, similarly, a method for cleaning floors using an absorbent pad also it is desirable, since the appearance of the surface improves, Even without the presence of the > 15 polymer. However, the best appearance is provided by the combination. In fact, the compositions sold so far cause that the surface is not observable due to the failure of the surface to be uniformly accepted, therefore it shows spots and / or streaks. It is an advantage of the compositions / solutions herein that they can reverse this and immediately improve the appearance. Similar benefits are observed in the context of floor cleaners, etc. The polymers prevent the dirt, hardness, etc. from adhering to the surface and especially prevent the formation of spots that are observable when they dry, so that the eliminate the polymer in some other way for reasons of appearance.

G1 The "daily shower" method In the context of a bath maintenance product "* * ** * &/ or shower, an effective amount of the composition containing * the hydrophilic polymer is used to cover the surface The distribution can be obtained by using a spraying device such as a roller one or more pads, etc., although the 10 spray devices are preferred.One of the most important benefits of the compositions and mode of use of they are the prevention of dirt and the prevention of accumulation of dirt, and the general cleaning of the shower and the related areas For better results that belong to avoid stains, control odors, aromatization, germ prevention and control of accumulation of dirt in the shower and related surfaces, the product is applied using approximately 5 milliliters per square meter to approximately 50 milliliters p or square meter, more preferably about 10 milliliters to about 30 milliliters per square meter. The amount of dosage will depend on how clean the shower is at the beginning. For best results, the method will work with a clean shower. This reduces the amount of product needed, provides a 5 way to minimize film formation and grating. This is ** particularly valid on bright surfaces such as chrome and glass, in **? 10 where the residual solids are highly visible. To obtain this, the perfume is preferably selected to be highly water-soluble. Even when little or no cyclodextrin is used, deodorization and odor control can still be obtained if the product is used directly, that is, on a daily basis. For surfaces where the gloss is poor or the surfaces that are not glossy, such as glass and mat ceramic fibers, higher concentrations of surfactant, polymer, perfume and cyclodextrin can be used. Preferably, the number of solutions is sufficient to completely cover the surface to be treated in such a way that it evenly distributes the polymer and obtains the maximum benefits of rolling / stain removal. In any case, the daily application of the compositions of the invention will result in a coverage that finally Full coverage will not only maintain cleanliness, but also provide bacteriostatic and fungistatic benefits, that is, prevent bacteria and molds from appearing on the treated surfaces. The appearance of others 5 germs can also be eliminated or minimized substantially using the instructions for use described herein. This way of use provides a simpler method compared to the approaches * ?. 6 * conventional for the control of microorganisms (ie, eliminates or reduces the need for harsh active substances and grating such * í i 10 as bleaches, quaternary ammonium salts, etc).

Since the daily shower compositions are designed to be used on a frequent basis for better results, ie, preferably daily or after each shower, it is important that the product and the delivery mechanism are easily accessible. The packaging and dispensing mechanism are preferably designed to stay in close proximity to the areas of use. In this way, the * Packaging can be lightweight, easy to handle and easy to apply. The package, - • * ** may preferably include aesthetically pleasing features that combine with the bathroom furniture and optionally include devices - * 20 that allow storage and recovery of the product easily.

Separate packaging devices include, but are not limited to hanging baskets or shelves directly on the sprinkler apple, doors, side walls of tubs and the like. The dispositvos * «• *! *! * Í» f, *? , which can be part of the packaging include hooks, fasteners, suction containers, additives, screws and the like to join and / or store products in? the walls, doors, shower, etc. When packages are used to fill, the filling material can also be designed for easy access and €% *% - 5 storage, as in the previous. This can be important given the daily use of the product, which can be easily carried out when the packing for filling is near.

In the need for refilling, larger system units comprising in a manner or a related supply mechanism can be used.

Examples of such delivery systems include hand-operated pressure pumps and boxes with an interconstruction of mechanical pumps, battery operated or electric. These devices can be joined * * $ 15 directly as part of the shower and tub unit, or it can be attached to "from separate external units." Electric pumps can be attached to a source of electricity through a device that limits the voltage by safety reasons. As separate devices, you can use the ' totality of the fastening mechanisms described in the foregoing, or the 20 device may be completely unattached. Optionally, and preferable way all the units of the previous system can be Equip with devices for proper control of dosage quantity, pressure, steam, temperature and a coverage pattern control. In that - prolonged. and - *, í 5 G2. Wall cleaning processes i? In the context of a wall cleaner, the compositions can be dispensed using a sprinkler device combined with a wiping implement, or can be dosed more conveniently using a roller, such as manual or driven paint rollers. 10 When using rollers, it is important to remove the dirt from the roller. This can be obtained either by washing the device with water when it becomes dirty - * í i? too much, or using a juicer to scrape off the dirt from the roller. The juicer device can be used separately or it can be housed together with the roller. You can also use manual implements for • i *, 15 cleaning on the walls. Optionally, the implement joins a handle to reach areas more difficult to reach, for better coverage and ease of use. For convenience, the compositions can be supplied in the form of < í% a pre-moistened cloth. The pre-moistened cloth can provide cleaning liquid and a rubbing surface, all in one execution. It is especially important to control the dosage and coverage? when the surface is susceptible to damage. For best results, that is, elimination of dirt with minimal or no surface damage, the dosage > «R # *, ** * will preferably be from about 1 milliliter to about 20 milliliters per square meter, more preferably from about 12 milliliters to about 10 milliliters per square meter. For best results, the product is applied at the doses - ^ 5 recommended above, covering surfaces that are to be treated completely, and allowing them to air dry. Instructions for use include images and / or words that detail the pattern and application dosage that are preferred. The compositions of this invention are moderate and minimize damage to most painted surfaces. , Preferably, the use of solvents limits or is not present for this application. Preferred compositions for wall cleaning include the alkyl polyglycoside of eight to sixteen carbon atoms, either with or without hydrophilic polymers. The compositions are ideally suited for light work, ie general maintenance of painted and / or upholstered surfaces, due to the softness of the product and the generally low concentrations of the active ingredients. Additional benefits for painted walls, provided by the hydrophilic polymer include gloss, luster restoration and stain prevention. 20 G3. Process of cleaning of backstops and / or cabinets In the context of a cleaner for backstops and cabinets, the compositions can be dispensed using a spray device combined with a rubbing implement, or can be dosed further r Conveniently using a manual implement or an implement attached to a handle to reach difficult areas to be reached, for ease of coverage and use. Optionally, for convenience, the compositions can be supplied in the form of a pre-moistened cloth. The pre-moistened cloth provides liquid and rubbed, all in one execution. The cloth can also incorporate soft and abrasive materials as needed, for spot cleaning. For best results, ie, stain removal with high brightness and no streaking supply to the treated areas of * 4 so that rinsing is not required, the dosage should preferably be from about 5 milliliters to about 30 milliliters per square meter, most preferably from about 10 milliliters to about 20 milliliters per square meter. The compositions of this invention are moderate and minimize damage to most painted surfaces or woods or to worn Formica ™. Preferred compositions for wall cleaning include the alkyl polyglycoside of eight to sixteen preferred carbon atoms, either with or without hydrophobic polymers. The compositions are ideally suited for light work, ie daily or weekly maintenance, due to the softness of the product and the generally low concentrations of the active ingredients. Importantly, the residual concentrations of the hydrophilic polymers provide brightness and prevent fouling. Solvents, particularly volatile solvents, are preferably incorporated into these compositions insofar as they can provide additional cleaning, if needed, without For backing, the antimicrobial benefits are particularly desirable. It has been found that the compositions comprised can improve the bactericidal benefits of disinfectant compositions $ * delivered via cleaning substrates. In addition, frequent use of Maintenance product will provide benefits of bacteria prevention.

G4 Glass cleaning process In the context of a glass cleaner and glossy surfaces, the compositions can be distributed using a device of *. spray combined with a rubbing implement, or can be dosed More conveniently using a hand-held implement or an implement attached to a handle to reach hard-to-reach areas, better coverage and * ease of use. When the product is sprayed or applied to glass surfaces It can be rubbed with absorbent paper towels, fabrics, etc. To improve results, a preferred scrubbing pattern consists of a movement superimposed from one side to the other, started in the upper left (or right) corner of the glass, advancing with the scrubbing pattern down the glass and continuing with patterns side by side, and ending in the bottom left or right corner. The towel or cloth is then folded to provide a clean dry area, and the glass is rubbed with an up and down pattern starting from the left (or right) end of the glass and advancing to the right (or left) so that the movement of rubbed encompasses the entirety of the piece of glass. An alternative rubbing pattern start with rubbing movements up and down, bend the towel or cloth and finish with rubbing movements from one side to the other. He * *. alternative rubbing method simply reverses the synchronization of rubbing patterns from one side to another and from top to bottom. A benefit of the patterns combined from one side to another and from top to bottom is the * & % ** minimization of scratches as a result of improved diffusion of solution and elimination of scratched lines from the linear movements of the towel paper (ie, the edges of the paper towel or the fabric form visible boundaries or indicate where rubbing is carried out). According to the above rubbing patterns, the solution can be applied at an application concentration of about 10 to about 20 sprays per square meter (assuming that one spray delivers approximately one or two ml). The above preferred cleaning patterns can also be used in the context of a rubbing pre-wetted with multiple laminate where a layer is pre-wet outside while the other is substantially dry before use. In "Go such cases, rubbing first is done with the outer layer pre-wetted so that when the towel is folded, the dry side is exposed to the surface to be cleaned. In this way you get cleaned with a rubbed layer which is often preferred in very dirty environments. Many of the benefits of hydrophilic polymer include water lamination and antifog, it is retained substantially even when a rubbing step is included in the process. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concentration of the hydrophilic polymer may increase in the pre-wetted material that includes a dry outer layer designed for rubbing.

G5 Floor cleaning process In the context of a floor surface cleaner, the compositions can be distributed using a sponge, a mop of tapes or strips. By floor cleaners, we mean compositions designed to clean and preserve the common floor inside or outside a home or office. The floors that can be cleaned with compositions of the present invention include the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the bathroom, the basement, the attic, the patio, and so on. These floors may consist of ceramics, porcelain, marble, form®, non-waxy vinyl, linoleum, wood, thick tile, brick or cement, and the like. In the context of conventional implements, that is, sponge, strips and tapes, preferably equipped with heads of "¿} \ -w mop and handles, the compositions can be ready for use, that is, they can be used as is, or diluted in a bucket or other suitable receptacle in dilution factors specified in the instructions. For best results, a sweep and / or deep suction is recommended before wet mopping. It is recommended that floors with less grime be cleaned first, moving towards heavier surfaces. This maximizes the use of the solution and limits the contamination from one room to another. The implement head is immersed in the solution (diluted or ready for use) and removed. The implement must not be completely dry but must not drip wet before mopping. A preferred pattern of mopping with a sponge mop or floor cloth used with a brush with a handle is performed with a movement superimposed from top to bottom, and from left to right (or from right to left) and then repeated using a pattern superimposed from top to bottom from right to left (or from left to right). The up and down movement preferably covers approximately 0.5 meters to approximately 1 meter, the distance from left to right preferably is from about 1 to about 2 meters. After mopping this area, that is, from approximately 0.5 square meters to approximately 2 square meters, the sponge mop or floor cloth must be submerged again in solution and squeezed again. When following this procedure, the volume of the solution remaining in the solution on the floor is from approximately 20 ml to approximately 50 ml per square meter, using a mop of strips or tapes (for example cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) , cotton, synthetic combinations and 5 mixtures thereof), a preferred mopping pattern consists of a movement superimposed up and down, from left to right (or from right to left) which is then repeated using a superimposed movement of side to side from right to left (or from left to right). The up and down movement preferably ranges from about 0.5 meters to about 1 meter. The pattern from side to side from right to left (or from left to right) preferably ranges from approximately 0.5 meters to approximately 1 meter. The mopping pattern preferably acquires a square-shaped contour, i.e. from about 0.5 square meters to about 1 square meter. After mopping this area, the strip mops or tapes must be submerged again in solution and squeezed again. By following this procedure, the volume of the solution remaining on the solution on the 4- floor is from about 20 ml to about 50 ml per square meter, preferably from about 30 ml to about 40 ml per square meter. Optionally, to improve the consistency of control of the results using conventional mops, the composition (diluted or ready to use) is stored in a receptacle, and the rinsing water of the it is stored in another receptacle. This double-receptacle approach can consist of two separate units or can be combined as one. Examples of this mode of use include compressible bottles, sprinkler triggers, mechanical sprinklers, garden foggers, and electric or battery operated metering devices. The advantages of this way of use include always providing fresh solution to the floor and keeping the dirty water (from cleaning the floors) preventing it from contaminating the floor again. Additionally, this approach effectively controls microorganisms through less re-ingestion, thereby providing a more germ-free end result. This mode of use is also advantageous for spot cleaning, for example in difficult areas of clean which can be pre-treated with product before mopping begins; this mode of use also allows flexibility with respect to the dosage control in that more solution can be administered to dirty areas, and less to cleaner areas, so that the value is improved. Optionally, to obtain more consistent and better quality results, the composition can be applied directly to the floor as a solution ready to be used in liquid or aspersion form. Examples of this mode of use include compressible bottles, sprinkler triggers, mechanical sprinklers, garden nebulizers, and electric or battery operated metering devices. The advantages of this mode of use include always providing fresh solution to the floor and a better maintenance of the mop, particularly if the mop is not exposed to solution Expr m the old solution and apply only to the p ss. ? Additionally, this approach more effectively eliminates microorganisms from the cleaning mechanism, whereby a more germ-free end result is provided (i.e., less re-inoculation of the microorganisms). This mode of use is also advantageous for cleaning stains, ie hard-to-clean areas that can be pre-treated with product before the mopping begins; This mode of use also allows flexibility with respect to dosing control to the extent that more solution can be administered to dirty areas, and less to cleaner areas, thus improving the value. Optionally, the fresh solution supply approach can be delivered using a motorized system. An example of a motorized system for floor cleaning is the Dirt DevilMR Wet Vac equipment. Preferably, the motorized system may comprise a chamber containing fresh solution and a second chamber for sucking and retaining the dirty solution extracted from the floor. The motorized unit preferably comprises rinsing and / or rubbing devices. The rubbing device can be made of cotton, cellulose sponge, and so on. The supply unit may consist of a simple unit containing a lever (which can be calibrated for one or more dosage levels) for dosing liquid on the floor. A sweep and / or deep vacuum is recommended before using the motorized cleaning system. A preferred mopping pattern ±. consists of a movement superimposed up and down from left to right (or right to left) and then repeated using a pattern of superposition up and down from right to left (or left to right). The up and down movement of A f. preferable way covers approximately 0.5 meters to approximately 1 meter. The distance from left to right is preferably from about 1 to about 2 meters. After mopping this area, i.e., from about 0.5 square meters to about 2 square meters, the motorized cleaning unit engages, the solution is squeezed into a bowl of murky water in a rake movement, and then is sucked into the dirty solution container chamber using vacuum.

G6 Methods for using glass cleaning cloths Optionally, for increased convenience, the compositions may be supplied in the form of a pre-moistened cloth. For areas that are difficult to reach (for example, inside and outside of windows, second-hand or more used windows, large pieces of glass), the optional pre-moistened cloth, although preferably, is attached to a mop head and handle. For ease of use and versatility, the handle may consist of one or more small expandable joints or a pole ". "* telescopic. For best results, the mop head unit includes an optional polishing squeegee. The pre-moistened cloth # -, & , *, fc í « provides liquid or rubbed, all in one execution. For best results, i.e. the removal of spots with high brightness and no streaks to the treated areas so that rinsing is not required, the dosage should preferably be from about 1 ml to about 1 5 ml per square meter, most preferably from about 3 ml to about 5 ml per square meter. For best results, a preferred scrubbing pattern consists of a side-to-side overlapping movement starting at the top left (or right) corner of the glass, "advancing with the scrubbing pattern down the glass and continuing in 10 patterns side by side , and ending at the bottom left or right corner.The pre-soaped cloth is then folded, and the glass is cleaned in a top-down pattern, starting from the left (or right) end of the glass, and moving towards the right (or left), so that the scrubbing movement covers the entire piece of glass.An alternative scrubbing pattern starts with scrubbing movements from top to bottom, folding the pre-moistened cloth and ends with scrubbing movements The alternative scrubbing method simply reverses the synchronization of the scrubbing patterns from side to side and from top to bottom. combined from one side to another and from top to bottom is the minimization of scratches as a result of improved dispersion of the solution and the elimination of scratched lines from the linear movements of the paper towel (ie the edges of the paper towel or the fabric form provide visible limits or when better final result, the pressure exerted on the pre-moistened cloth decreases during the final stages of scrubbing. In this way, the 5 dripping of the solution is reduced and the cloth can be used effectively to re-absorb part of the liquid during the final scrubbing stage. The compositions of this invention work particularly well in an application with no rinsing for window panes, 5"vehicle glass, mirrors, chrome, silver, stove tops, glass tables, devices and the like. Unlike conventional glass cleaners, pre-moistened cloths do not require additional polishing to provide excellent final film / scratch results, particularly for light cleaning tasks. Additionally, the hydrophilic polymer provides several important benefits to the consumer, including antifogging properties and preventing stain accumulation. The compositions are ideally suited for light work, i.e. cleaning the top of the stove, i.e.? * * 1 * > * & + weekly maintenance. Importantly, the residual concentrations * ~ * Z of the hydrophilic polymers provide brilliance and stain prevention. Solvents, particularly volatile solvents, are preferably incorporated into these compositions and can provide additional cleaning, if needed, without scratching in an application with no rinsing. The compositions also provide advantages 5 com na tions and the same. For the removal of difficult-to-clean parts or very dirty surfaces, the use of a multi-laminated cloth is even more advantageous. The same concentration of liquid and scrub pattern or patterns as described above is used, but the instructions should include an additional step of polishing or rubbing to remove the potentially dirty liquid and prevent redeposition of dirt on the glass.

G7 General purpose and floor cleaning using a pre-moistened cloth Optionally, for increased cleaning convenience for 15 floors, the composition may be supplied in the form of a pre-moistened cloth as described above, preferably attached to the head of a mop and / or handle. The pre-moistened cloth can provide liquid and rubbed, all in one execution. The mop pattern with the pre-moistened mop used with a handle is preferably performed in a superimposed movement from top to bottom, and from left to right (or from right to left) and then repeated using a top-down overlap pattern. from left to right (or from right to left). The movement from top to bottom preferably covers approximately 0.5 meters to approximately 1 meter. The distance from left to right is preferably from about 1 to about 2 meters. This mopping pattern is then repeated until the entire cloth has been substantially depleted or dried. The prewetted wipes can be advantageous particularly for the cleaning of small areas, such as those found in typical bathrooms. They are also easily available and versatile insofar as they can be used to clean surfaces other than floors, such as backstops, walls, etc. without having to use a variety of liquids and implements. This solution also effectively eliminates and controls microorganisms by minimizing implement inoculation, which is often observed with conventional reusable systems such as sponges, strings and strip mops. The lack of inoculation of the implement leads to a cleaner and more germ-free final result.

G8 Cleaning the floor using a disposable pad Optionally, and more preferably, convenience and operation can be maximized by using a system consisting of a disposable cleaning pad and a fresh solution application mode on the floor. The pad is made of a laminate of non-woven materials, cellulose and a superabsorbent polymer. This pad is attached to a device comprising a mop head and a handle. In such a system, the solution application can be obtained via a Separate compressible bottle or a system with sprinkler activator, or w can be directly attached or interconstruded to the device (ie, on the head% of the mop or the handle), the supply mechanism can be operated by the operator or can be induced by battery or electrically. This system provides multiple benefits compared to conventional cleaning modes. It reduces the time to clean the floor, because the pad sucks the dirty solution. Eliminates the need to transport heavy and cumbersome buckets. Because the absorbent pad, which absorbs and retains the dirty solution, away from it, a single pad can clean large surface areas. Artificially, since a fresh pad is used each time, the germs in the dirt get trapped, are eliminated and removed, which promotes better hygiene and better control of the bad smell. Conventional mops, which are reusable, can hold 15 grime and germs, which can spread throughout the house and generate persistent odors in the mop and in the house. Through a controlled dosage by the operator and a more efficient removal of the dirty floor solution, you can also get a better final result. Additionally, because the cleaning process involves the use of low concentrations of solution in contact with the floor for much shorter periods of time in relation to conventional cleaning systems (less solution is applied to the floor and the superabsorbent polymer absorbs the most of it so that the tj '' from about 1 to about 5 ml of solution per square meter), the system provides improved surface safety on delicate surfaces. This is particularly important for cleaning, 5 wood, which tends to expand and then contract when it is treated excessively with too much water. Finally, this system is suitable for the pretreatment of stains before the complete cleaning of the floor, due to the controlled dosage of the solution. Unlike conventional mops, 10 This system is more effective and more convenient for the elimination of * splashes For example, conventional mops actually moisten the floor in an attempt to control splashing, while absorbent paper towels or fabrics require the user to lean in to reach and eliminate splashing. Finally, the implement plus the pad can be designed to allow easy access and rubbing to clean as well as hard to reach areas, for example, under electrical appliances, tables, backstops and the like. The use of a superabsorbent polymer allows for reduction in pad volume, it is true, the pad is sufficiently thin yet highly absorbent due to the superabsorbent structure which is capable of absorbing 100 times its weight; It is conceivable that with conventional mops, which require more volume for absorption purposes (cellulose or * tea *. f * "A synthetic structure absorbs only up to about 5 to about 10 times its weight.) For best results using the disposable pad and the implement cleaning system, a deep 5 and / or vacuum sweep is first performed before mopping in Before application of the solution to the areas to be cleaned, preferably apply from about 10 to about 20 milliliters in a small area (for example about half a square meter) and move? pad across the area back and forth several times 10 until the solution is almost completely absorbed.This is important as the pad is primed, allowing it to work more effectively. where the dosing mechanism is separated from the implement (ie, a dosing system detached), the establishment of optional priming The solution 15 can be sprayed directly onto the pad, even with a coverage using from about 10 to about 20 milliliters. The application of the solution at a rate of about 5 to about 40 ml, more preferably about 10 to about 30 milliliters per square meter, dispersing the liquid as much as possible 20 over the section of area to be cleaned. This is followed by mopping < '* using a disposable pad. A preferred scrub pattern consists of a movement superimposed up and down starting on the left side lower (or right) of a section to be cleaned, and advancing with the scrubbing pattern across the floor continuing to use scrubbing movements up and down. Scrubbing then continues to begin on the upper right (or left) side of the section to be cleaned and by reversing the direction of the scrubbing pattern using one movement from one side to the other. Another preferred scrubbing pattern consists of a scrubbing movement up and down, followed by a scrubbing movement towards and down in the reverse direction. These deep preferred scrubbing patterns allow the pad to loosen and absorb more solution, dirt and germs, and provide a better end result by doing this and by minimizing the residue that remains. Another benefit of the above scouring patterns is a minimization of the scratches as a result of a better dispersion of the solution and the elimination of scratch lines from the edges of the pad. The pads are versatile in that they can be used for multiple cleaning and multiple surfaces. Each pad is designed to clean an average-sized floor (ie, from approximately 10 to approximately 20 square meters) with an average load of dirt. The pads may need to be changed sooner if the floors are larger than average or if they are especially dirty. To determine if a pad needs changing, the support part of the pad is observed and it is determined if the supporting absorbent layer is saturated with liquid and / or dirty.

Higher perfume concentrations may be advantageous for consumer acceptance. The invention also comprises a detergent composition, as described herein, in a container in association with instructions for use. This container can have an assembly of one or more units, packed together or separately. For example, the container may include a pad or a dry cloth with cleaning solution.

EXAMPLES The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples and / or comparative examples. The following compositions are made by mixing the ingredients included in the proportions indicated, in the order of addition mentioned.

COMPOSITION The comparison products include those sold in the "market under the following names with the indicated nominal compositions". < 1) LAS = linear sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate. The MW used for the calculation is 344 g / mol (2) NaXS = sodium xylene sulfonate. - t \ (1) BKC = benzalkonium chloride. The MW used for the calculation is 351 g / mol.

EXAMPLES OF COMPOSITIONS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION 1 Alkylpolyglycoside = primary detergent surfactant 2PVNO = polyvinyl pyridine n-oxide Test method for the operation of daily shower compositions: Glazed ceramic tile cleaning: Dal-TileTM glazed blue ceramic tiles are used (PO Box 17130, Dallas, Texas, USA, dimensions, 152 mm X 152 mm X 8 mm) and black ceramic tile Glaze Dal-Tile ™ (105 mm X 105 mm X 8 mm) in the product test of '* daily watering can described below. Each tile is first Scrub with paper for tile, and then wipe with distilled water. Isopropyl alcohol is sprayed onto the tile and scrubbed with a damp paper towel (wet) or cloth. Rinse again with distilled water. The cleaning procedure is continued until the rinsing with water Distillate induces 90 +% of water until the formation of a round drop or drying of the tile in less than 5 seconds (the experiment of forming a round drop is carried out by holding the tile vertically). The tiles are then rubbed dry, and the brilliance is recorded. Brilliance measurements: Five brightness readings are performed (measurements at an angle of 60 ° using a micro-TRI-glossiness determiner manufactured by BYK Gardner, Germany) for each tile and record the averages of the readings. Measurements are carried out near each of the corners and in the center of the tile.

Tile treatment with product: Each tile is placed vertically against a wall (or a tarja) and then sprayed with 5 ml of test product (note: this corresponds to 5 sprays), applied t from a distance of approximately 60 centimeters (two feet) using T8500 sprinklers manufactured by Continental Sprayers Inc., St. Peters, MO, E.U.A. The spraying of the tile (sprayed) is done in a way that maximizes the coverage of the product on the tile. After treatment with the product, the tiles are allowed to air dry. Once dry, the brightness is measured. Then the tiles are visually inspected for stains, scratches and the remaining films for the test product. On average, the difference between the brightness in the clean tile and the brilliance after the treatment with the product corresponds to the loss of brightness due to the product. Simulated sprinklers: Water of known hardness is used to simulate sprinkler phenomena. The tiles are placed to rest vertically on the wall of a sink and then sprayed with lukewarm city water (T ~ 37 ° C, 100 ° F) at a distance of approximately 60 centimeters (2 feet) using T8500 sprinklers. Each tile is sprayed at a constant dosing rate of 80 sprays per minute for 3 minutes (240 ml) and then allowed to dry under ambient conditions. The spraying of the tile (sprayed) is done in a way that maximizes the product coverage on the tile. Once dry, the tiles are visually inspected and classified to determine stains and scratches (the entire product film is removed by rinsing during the simulated shower phenomenon of three minutes).

Cycles: The above procedure can be repeated numerous times in an effort to simulate the effects of continuous product use after each shower event. It is observed that some products work better with additional uses, although the operation does not tend to improve any more after the third cycle of use. Final brightness measurement (optional): After the last simulated shower cycle, brightness measurements can be made to estimate the cumulative effect of product treatment and shower rinsing. Compositions: All raw materials are purchased from commercial sources. The PVNO used in the tests that follow is made by Reilly Industries, and has a molecular weight of -20,000 g / moles. The APG. used in all tests is Plantaren 2000 from Henkel, a commercially available polyalkyl glucoside of cosmetic grade C8. The Tivoli-cyclodextrin complex described in Example 2 is made by mixing perfume and β-cyclodextrin so as to saturate the cavity of the β-cyclodextrin. After the excess perfume is removed and the complex is dried to a solid operation of the final result * $ * 10 fifteen V . 10 15 20 < * e For each of the above compositions, the addition of the hydrophilic polymer improves the lamination of the water and the formation of spots on the tile or leaves the operation unchanged. The largest benefits are seen using PVNO alone, PVNO added to APG and PVNO added to the 5 Benckiser product. In addition, the incorporation of PVNO to each of the above formulations does not impair brilliance. In a separate test, 0.075% PVNO is added to a Mist Away ™ product from Reckitt & Colman. No laminations or spotting advantages compared to the hydrophilic polymer are observed. 10 The analysis of this product shows the presence of quaternary ammonium salts. It is known that quaternary surfactants hydrophobically modify surfaces, thereby increasing the contact angle between water and the surface. The addition of PVNO does not reduce the contact angle enough to induce lamination. 15 EXAMPLE In the following example of the operation of the final result, measured by streaking and film formation, which is measured for several compositions of the present invention, and compared with commercially available product. The relevant bath shower substrates tested include blue and black Daltile R ceramic tiles and a glass shower door (name of the company, elaboration and dimensions). HE assign visual grades for film / turbidity and spots / stripes based on the average of three expert determiners. The determinations are made on a sliding scale 0-6, where "0" indicates a perfect final result and "6" suggests a terrible final result. The final result is also weighted using brightness determination measurements. Each of the brightness measurements is made after the application of the product after each cycle. The protocol for the tests is identical to that described at the beginning of the experimental section.

Results in blue ceramic tile: classifications of the experts (scale 0.6) Results in blue ceramic tile: brightness meter readings Results in black ceramic tile: expert classification readings (scale 0-6) 10 15 20 • J. { \ I 'Results in black ceramic tile: brightness determiner readings * «* Results in a shower glass door: expert rating readings (scale 0-6) , f. *. - € * The above data suggest that simple compositions 7 x. which comprise PVNO can be used to provide an excellent final result. All these compositions with PVNO also provide a non-exceeded laminate benefit versus the competitive set. There is considerable variation in the performance of the final result, although the best results are obtained using either APG or with cyclodextrin in the absence of surfactant. Also generally very good results are obtained by using alkyl sulfate surfactant in combination with PVNO. In all cases, the final result supplied by the compositions comprising PVNO is superior to that of the competitive set, as measured by the brightness determinant. The glass brilliancy test can not be measured due to instrument limitations. 15 Examples in the context of a floor cleaning product using a disposable cleaning pad In addition to the benefits that are observed in a shower / tub cleaning product / process in the absence of rinsing, preferably for use on a regular basis, for example each time bathing, the invention provides benefits of a cleaning process. floor that involves the use of a disposable pad that absorbs most, but not all, of the cleaning solution and in which there is no - ** - ***** »» Note: Each of the examples 1-14 contains Dow Corning AF iabonoid water suppressant at 0.015%. 0.04% perfume. and the rest of the water distilled up to 100%. Compositions: All raw materials are purchased from 5 commercial sources. The PVNO used in the tests below is made by Reily Industries, and has a molecular weight of -20,000 g / mol. The surfactants used are Henkel's Plantaren 2000, a commercially available cosmetic grade C8-16 alkyl polyglycoside, Plantaren 1200 Henkel axis which is a C10-18 alkyl grade polyglycoside cosmetics available 10 commercially. Akzo AG-6210, a commercially available alkyl polyglycoside of Cs-12, Neodol C11 EO5 is a commercially available nonionic alkyl ethoxylate containing an alkyl group with an average chain length of about 11 carbon atoms and about 5 ethoxy groups per molecule on average. The solvent 15 used is propylene glycolpropyl ether from Sigma Aldrich.

Test method for floor cleaning with disposable pad Clear glass ceramic tiles: used for the test 20 Italian glazed ceramic tiles 332 mm x 332 mm by Valentino Kerastone (Cermiche Piemme 41053 Maranello Italy) with smooth texture and a light white appearance and coffee similar to marble. These tiles are u "V *. * 1 * 3 chosen for use in the tests because they are difficult to wet due to their high brilliance." Tile preparation: each tile is first rubbed with a paper towel and a solution containing 20% sopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt on the surface, each tile is rubbed with distilled water until it dries completely.Spreading spots: the stains used in the test are prepared by mixing 820 g of isopropyl alcohol with 320 g of deionized water To this we add 28.1 g of stains from a vacuum cleaner 10 in sieving (provided by Empirical), 0.78 g of Crisco oil, 0.09 g of polymerized Crisco oil (viscosity 1800 cps) and 1.25 g of Domino granulated sugar Method of soiling: Apply 3 ml of the stain solution to the center of each tile Using a 3-inch (7.6 cm) lint-based paint roller, the stain is spread evenly through the tile until uniform coverage is obtained. It is allowed to dry. Cleaning pad: A mop pad is cut. absorbent 100 x 130 mm. This pad is made up of a core with a 3-layer density gradient developed by BuCkeye Chemicals. 20 The first layer (floor layer) has a density of 0.06 g / cc and a thickness of 4.5 mm and a width of 63 mm. The middle layer has a density of 0.1 g / cc and a thickness of 3 mm and a width of 89 mm. The third layer (storage layer) has a density of 0.15 g / cc and a thickness of 1 J-. t - ^ J¡y¿- mm and a width of 120 mm. On the core on the side of the floor is a perforation formed by a film provided by Tredegar. On the outer edges on the side of the floor sheet there are curls of 2 x 64 mm Swiffer ^ material (hydroescrolded polyester 63 gsm 5 with sieve) attached to provide floating pads for rubbing. Above it is a polybarrera provided by Clopay and after with a union co? a width of 2 x 25 mm along the length of the pad to uriif the pad to increase. Cleaning attachment: a mop head to clean the dust, dry, Sw? Ffer ™ is trimmed to a dimension of 100 x 130 mm (which includes an oscillating head to create cleaning action). To this mop head, a male Velero strip is attached which provides the means for attaching the pad. 15 Cleaning procedure: Primer of the pad: 3 ml of cleaning solution is applied to a separate clean tile of 332 mm x 332 mm. Starting from the left side and moving to the right, the tile is scraped up and down for 6 cycles and then back 6 cycles from right to 25 ° 20 left. Mopping is repeated again so that 24 mop cycles are used. Cleaning: apply an additional 3 ml of the same cleaning solution to the dirty test tile. Using a pad with primer and starting again from the left and moving to the right, it is mopped up and down 7 cycles and then backwards from the right to the left, 7 cycles. Mopping is repeated until 28 mop cycles are used. Rating: After the tiles have completely dried they are examined by a team of experts to determine films / striae, using a scale of 0 to 4, where 0 is none and 4 is films / severe stripes, each tile is classified to determine its final resultant appearance.

The above results suggest that the addition of low concentrations of PVNO to simple compositions can improve the final result of different grades, depending on other ingredients used. In addition, the results suggest that different surfactants may provide different degrees of performance benefits either by themselves or in combination with PVNO. Specifically, the alkyl polyglycoside (APG) surfactants provide better performance as compared to the conventional ethoxylated nonionic material, which is screened and is one of the best versions of this type of surfactant. Even within the AGP itself, the version with the ? '- * Stetj «wider chain length interval (C8-16) provides the best i performance (better than either C10-16 or C8-12). Finally, a further improvement is observed when the surfactant, PVNO and a specific solvent, PVNO and a specific solvent propylene glycolpropyl ether are added, for example "PGPE").
