Abstract

A disinfectant-containing hard surface cleaner composition having increased bacteria count-reducing efficacy is provided by adding thereto a mixture of an alkyl or alkenyl oligoglycoside and certain C₈ -C₁₈ alkyl ethers.

Claims

1. A hard surface disinfectant-containing cleaner composition, said composition comprising from 0.01 to 5% by weight of a disinfectant comprising nitrogenous substances obtained by reacting

∝

)--N-substituted propylene diamines corresponding to Formula III

) with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide,

γ

) and optionally, with salts of the products obtained according to α

) or β

) with inorganic or organic acids from 0.2 to 10% by weight of an alkyl or alkenyl oligoglycoside corresponding to Formula I

space="preserve" listing-type="equation">R.sup.1 -O-[G].sub.p (I)

in which R¹ represents a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group with 8 to 22 carbon atoms, [G] represents a glycose unit with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, and p represents a number from 1 to 10, and from 0.1 to 10% by weight of an alkyl ether corresponding to Formula II ##STR6## in which R² represents a linear or branched aliphatic alkyl or alkenyl group with 8 to 18 carbon atoms, x represents 0 or a number of up to 3, and y represents a number from 1 to 15, all weights being based on the weight of said composition.

2. A composition as in claim 1 further containing quaternary ammonium compounds corresponding to Formula VI ##STR7## in which R⁸ and R⁹ represent alkyl groups with 8 to 16 carbon atoms, benzyl groups unsubstituted or substituted with one or two chlorine atoms or C₁ -C₄ alkyl groups, or N- or S-containing heterocyclic groups, and X^c represents an inorganic anion, with the proviso that at least one of the groups R⁸ or R⁹ is an alkyl group with 8 to 16 carbon atoms.

3. A composition as in claim 1 wherein in said alkyl or alkenyl oligoglycoside corresponding to formula I, R¹ represents a linear alkyl or alkenyl group with 8 to 10 carbon atoms.

4. A composition as in claim 1 further containing up to 10% by weight of an amphoteric or zwitterionic surfactant, based on the weight of said composition.
