Abstract

A detersive system containing surfactants, vinegar, bleach and alternatively emollients, foaming agents, perfumes, and builders has been developed. Due to the addition of both bleach and vinegar, the detersive system shows synergistic activity with regards to necessary areas and objects of cleanliness that can be found in restaurants and eating establishments. In addition to the synergistic activity, the formulation does not release harmful chloramine gas that is usually present when vinegars and bleach are mixed.

Claims

1. A detersive system for cleaning necessary areas and objects of focus for cleanliness, comprising:

a surfactant in a range of 60 to 75 weight percent;

a bleach selected from the group consisting of chlorine dioxide, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, bleach liquor, lime bleach liquor, bleaching powder, chlorinated lime, chloride of lime, dibasic magnesium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, chlorinated trisodium phosphate, hypochlorous acid, oxidized chlorides, hypobomites, chlorinated isocyanurates, halogenated hydantoins, sodium N-chlorobenzenesulfonamide, sodium N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide, N-chlorosuccinimide, trichloromelamine, 1,3-dichlorotetrahydroquinazoline-2,4-dione, tetrachloroglycoluril, sodium trichlorometaphosphimate, sodium N-chloroimido-disulfonate, and N-chlorophenylbiquanidino, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium perborate, sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate, peroxymonosulfuric acid (Caro'"'"'s Acid), potassium permonosulfate, and sodium percarbonate in a range of about 0.01 to about 6 weight percent;

a vinegar in a range of about 10 to about 20 weight percent; and

water.

2. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the surfactant is in a range of about 70 to about 73 weight percent.

3. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the bleach is in a range of about 0.020 to about 4 weight percent.

5. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the vinegar is in a range of about 15 to about 18 weight percent.

6. The detersive system of claim 5, wherein the vinegar is in a range of about 16 to about 17 weight percent.

7. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the surfactant is selected from the group consisting of sodium octyl sulfate, sodium 2-ethyl hexyl sulfate, sodium decyl sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate, triethanolamine laureth sulfite, monoethanolamine lauryl sulfite, monoethanolamine laureth sulfate, potassium lauryl sulfate, potassium laureth sulfate, magnesium lauryl sulfate, magnesium laureth sulfate, sodium nonyl phenol ether sulfate, sodium alph-olefin sulfonate, ethylene glycol monostearate, ethylene glycol distearate, and commercially available detergents.

8. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the bleach is sodium percarbonate.

9. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the vinegar is selected from the group consisting of cider vinegar, apple vinegar, white vinegar, malt vinegar, sugar vinegar, glucose vinegar, and spirit vinegar.

10. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the vinegar is white vinegar.

11. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the surfactant comprises two or more surfactants in combination.

12. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the bleach comprises two or more bleaches in combination.

13. The detersive system of claim 1, wherein the vinegar comprises two or more vinegars used in combination.

15. The detersive system of claim 1, further comprising one or more from the group consisting of builders, enzymes, foaming agents, emollients, antiredeposition agents, solvents, hydrotropes, fluorescers, foam boosters, foam controllers, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium silicate, sodium sulphate, calcium chloride, and perfumes.

14. A detersive system for cleaning necessary areas and objects of focus for cleanliness, comprising;
