Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cleaning composition suitable for use in hand dishwashing, and a method for reducing water use.
- Hand dishwashing compositions are well known in the art. They may come in the form of a pastes, a gel, a block, etc., but are most commonly in the form of a liquid. Such products are formulated to provide a number of performance and aesthetics properties. The majority of the cleaning performance is generally provided by surfactants that provide acceptable solubilization and removal of food soils, especially greasy soils, from dishware being cleaned with, or in aqueous solutions formed from such products.
- the hand dishwashing formulator has been concerned with increasing the amount, stability, and volume of suds formed while the product is used. This is because many consumers feel that such suds are an indicator of how effective the dishwashing composition is, and an indicator of whether the level of dishwashing composition is sufficient.
- high-sudsing products are deemed undesirable by certain consumers, especially those who may believe that long lasting and voluminous suds are an indication of excessive surfactant residue.
- some consumers spend significant amounts of water rinsing suds from washware.
- Such consumers herein referred to as "suds-sensitive consumers” may still desire compositions which form suds during use, and yet whose suds are rapidly dispersed, less stable, and/or which are lower in volume.
- the need exists for a liquid cleaning composition having a reduced sudsing profile, and yet which still provides acceptable cleaning performance. Furthermore, the need exists for a method for reducing the amount of water used in the rinsing step of a hand dishwashing process.
- the present invention relates to a hand dishwashing composition which includes from 0.1% to 90% of a sudsing surfactant, an effective amount of a suds suppresser, and the balance adjunct ingredients.
- the present invention also relates to a method for reducing the amount of water used during the rinsing step of a hand dishwashing process which includes the steps of providing the hand dishwashing composition described herein, applying it to a dish and washware, wherein after the application step the dish and washware comprise suds thereupon, and rinsing the suds from the dish and washware with water.
- a suds suppresser and especially a silicone-based suds suppresser can significantly reduce the sudsing profile by reducing the surface tension of the air-water interface. This decreases the sudsing profile of the hand dishwashing composition.
- the suds suppresser useful herein does not reduce the effectiveness of the surfactant, at the oil-water interface, and therefore does not negatively impact the cleaning and/or grease- solubilizing ability of the surfactant.
- Such a composition thus solves the paradox by providing a reduced sudsing profile to suds-sensitive consumers, significantly reducing the amount of water used for rinsing, and still provides acceptable cleaning and/or grease-solubilizing performance.
- the present invention also surprisingly provides an improved solution feel during washing, and can enhance the "squeaky-clean" feel and sound desired by many consumers when washing ceramics, plastics, etc.
- the consumer may significantly reduce the amount of water used during the rinsing step of a hand dishwashing process.
- alkyl means a hydrocarbyl moiety which is straight, cyclic or branched, saturated or unsaturated. Unless otherwise specified, alkyl moieties are preferably saturated or unsaturated with double bonds, preferably with one or two double bonds. Included in the term “alkyl” is the alkyl portion of acyl groups.
- the term “dish” means any dishware, tableware, cookware, glassware, etc. which is washed prior to, or after contacting food and/or being used in a food preparation process.
- washing means any dishwashing basin, sink, washing implements (such as brushes, wash cloths, scouring pads, sponges,), etc. which are used to wash a dish, and which accumulate suds which are typically rinsed off.
- the term "effective amount" means that the formulator of the composition can select an amount of the compound to be incorporated into the compositions that will improve the cleaning, aesthetics, performance, etc. of the composition.
- rinsing includes rinsing suds from any article used in the hand dishwashing process, and especially from a dish, or washware.
- the term "sudsing profile" means the physical characteristics of the suds formed, as perceived by a typical consumer, during use of the composition for hand washing a dish. Specifically, this term refers to both the amount/volume of suds formed and the longevity/resiliency of the suds formed.

- this upper limit is practical in nature, due primarily to concern with minimizing costs and due to the surprising effectiveness of lower levels of silicone suds suppresser to control the sudsing profile.
- these weight percentage values include any silica that may be utilized in combination with polyorganosiloxane, as well as any adjunct materials that may be utilized.
- Other suds suppressers useful herein may be employed in an effective amount which may be determined by one skilled in the art.

- the dish and/or washware is contacted, either directly or indirectly, with the hand dishwashing composition herein.
- the composition may be applied to the dish and/or washware in neat and/or in dilute form.
- the dish may be cleaned singly by applying the composition directly to the dish and/or may be cleaned by dispersing the composition with water in a suitable vessel, for example a dishwashing basin, a sink or bowl or other appropriate washware, and then applying this dispersed composition to a number of dishes with a washing implement such as a sponge, brush, scrub pad, etc.
- a washing implement such as a sponge, brush, scrub pad, etc.
- the composition can be used in dilute form in a suitable vessel as a soaking medium for hard-to-clean dishes.
- the composition is applied to a washing implement, such as a sponge, a steel wool pad, etc., and then applied to a dish.
- the composition When applied either directly or indirectly to the dish, the composition will typically cause suds to be left on the dish.
- the dish will usually be rinsed with water to remove the suds, oils, food materials, etc., before allowing it to dry. It has now been found that significant amounts of water are also used to rinse suds from the washware, especially from the dishwashing basin and/or the sink. Once the suds are removed, drying of the dish and/or washware may take place passively by allowing for the natural evaporation of water or actively using any suitable drying equipment, for example a cloth or towel.
- the rinse water reduction according to the method of the present invention is least about 10%, more preferably at least about 25%, even more preferably at least 35%, and still more preferably at least about 50%, as compared to the amount of water used in the rinsing step for a comparable hand dishwashing composition lacking the suds suppresser.
- a water reduction is measured by the testing method described herein.
- the amount of water used in the rinsing step can be quantified by the following test method: 1. Measure the running water rate in mL/second for room temperature water. 2. Prepare 2 sets of 5 similarly-soiled plates. Prepare a "test" dishwashing composition with the suds suppresser, and a “control" dishwashing composition which lacks the suds suppresser.
- the rinse water reduction according to the method of the present invention is least about 10%, more preferably at least about 25%, even more preferably at least 35%, and still more preferably at least about 50%, as compared to the amount of water used in the rinsing step for a comparable hand dishwashing composition lacking the suds suppresser.
- the sudsing profile can be measured by employing a suds cylinder tester (SCT), having a set of 4 cylinders. Each cylinder is typically 30 cm long, and 10 cm in diameter. The cylinder walls are 0.5 cm thick, and the cylinder bottom is 1 cm thick.
- SCT rotates a test solution in a closed cylinder, typically a plurality of clear plastic cylinders, at a rate of about 21 revolutions per minute, for a standard period of time, after which the suds height is measured. Soil may then be added to the test solution, agitated again, and the resulting suds height measured, again.
- Such a test may be used to simulate the initial sudsing profile of a hand dishwashing composition, as well as its sudsing profile during use, as more soils are introduced to the hand dishwashing solution from the dishes being washed.
- the test method for the sudsing profile reduction test herein is as follows:
- the sudsing profile is the average level of suds, in cm, generated by the dishwashing composition.
- the sudsing profile reduction, at any given time point, when employing a composition according to the present invention, as compared to the control dishwashing composition lacking the suds suppresser, can thus be calculated as:
- the initial sudsing profile reduction (i.e., before any soils are added to the cylinders) according to the present invention is least about 10%, more preferably at least about 13%, and even more preferably at least 15%, as compared to the sudsing profile for a comparable hand dishwashing composition lacking the suds suppresser. Furthermore, it has been found that the sudsing profile reduction during use may significantly increase. However, the magnitude of the actual reduction during use depends significantly on factors such as water hardness, soil type, suds suppresser, and the actual sudsing surfactant(s) employed. To simulate such in-use suds profiles, a standardized amount of a prepared soil may be added to each cylinder in between Steps 6 and 7, above. The SCT then rotates the cylinders for 1 minute, to simulate washing, and the suds levels are re-measured. This addition step may be repeated until the suds level falls below a pre-determined level, for example, 1 cm.
- compositions have a viscosity of about 330 cps, and provide acceptable cleaning, especially of grease and oils. Furthermore, these compositions also have a reduced sudsing profile as compared to comparable compositions lacking the suds suppresser. During use, these compositions provide a rinse water reduction of over 10%.
- a control hand dishwashing composition (Comparative Composition 1) according to Composition II in Example 1 is provided, except that the pH is adjusted to 9, and it lacks a silicone suds suppresser.
- Two test hand dishwashing compositions according to the present invention are provided.
- Composition A is formed by adding 2% silicone suds suppresser (DOW CORNING® 2-3000 ANTIFOAM) to the Comparative Composition 1
- Composition B is formed by adding 4% silicone suds suppresser (DOW CORNING® 2-3000 ANTIFOAM) to the Comparative Composition 1.
- Comparative Composition 1 has an initial suds height of 10.8 cm. According to the sudsing profile reduction test, Composition A has an initial sudsing profile reduction of 13%, while Composition B has an initial sudsing profile reduction of 20%, relative to Comparative Composition 1. Furthermore, after 5 additions of 2 mL of soil, containing a mixture of gravy, oil, cream, potato, minced beef, etc., Composition A has a sudsing profile reduction of 13%, while Composition B has a sudsing profile reduction of 25%. After 8 additions of 2 mL of soil, these sudsing profile reductions increased to 23% and 43%, respectively. During use, both Composition A and B provide a rinse water reduction of over 10%, relative to Comparative Composition 1.
