Definitions

  • the present invention relates to hard surface cleaning compositions, in particular liquid aqueous detergent compositions comprising polyethylene oxide, amphoteric surfactant and enzyme, and a method and use comprising the same.
  • Household cleaning activities involve the use of a detergent product and water to rinse off the detergent product and finish the cleaning process. These activities are typically performed daily, often more than once a day, such as dish washing. That is, hard surface cleaning, dishwashing and other household cleaning activities are time consuming activities and, ideally, can be optimized when using products with excellent detergency and soil removal capacity.
  • a cleaning product often comprises a surfactant system containing different types of surfactant to provide for cleaning efficacy. Therefore, some cleaning products contain a main surfactant, sometimes referred to as primary surfactant, and co-surfactant, sometimes referred to as secondary surfactant.
  • Consumers are sensitive to visual cues when using a cleaning product like for example a hand dish wash product.
  • One of the more prominent visual cues is foam formation when cleaning as the amount of foam is seen as an indicator of cleaning performance. More foam is interpretated as more cleaning power.
  • consumers are also sensitive to product appearance. Some consumers prefer clear and transparent product formulations. Over time, e.g. upon storage, product appearance may change and a clear and transparent product may for example develop sediment and/or become cloudy. The same may happen as a result of temperature changes.
  • surfactants can be reduced or avoided altogether, like e.g. sulphonated surfactants like alkylbenzene sulphonates.
  • Another way of addressing these consumer preferences is by lowering the total amount of surfactant in a product.
  • these changes may require other ingredients to maintain cleaning efficacy.
  • One such ingredient is polyethylene oxide.
  • liquid detergent formulations comprising polyethylene oxide and betaine may not be temperature stable but that a specific combination of anionic surfactants provides temperature stability.
