Abstract

Cleaning wipes containing antimicrobial quaternary ammonium compounds and alkylpolyglucosides, especially C8-C10 alkylpolyglucosides, have low filming and streaking when combined with C2-C4 alcohols and glycol ethers having a vapor pressure between 0.1 and 2.0 mm Hg at 20° C.

Claims

1. A cleaning wipe comprising a substrate and a cleaning composition comprising:

a. 0.1 to 5.0 weight % of a C8 to C10 alkylpolyglucoside wherein the alkyl group is substantially C8 alkyl, substantially C10 alkyl, or a mixture of substantially C8 and C10 alkyl;

b. 1.0 to 2.0 weight % of a propylene glycol ether or combination of propylene glycol ethers;

c. 0.1 to 1.0 weight % of a quaternary ammonium antimicrobial; and

d. 0.5 to 3% weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol or combination of C2 to C4 alcohols;

e. wherein the ratio of the glycol ethers to the alcohol is between 0.02 and 1.0.

2. The cleaning wipe of claim 1, wherein the glycol ether comprises propylene glycol n-propylether.

3. A cleaning wipe comprising a substrate and a cleaning composition comprising:

a. 0.5 to 4.0 weight % of a C8 to C10 alkylpolyglucoside wherein the alkyl group is substantially C8 alkyl, substantially C10 alkyl, or a mixture of substantially C8 and C10 alkyl;

b. 0.15 to 0.5 weight % of a quaternary ammonium antimicrobial;

c. 0.6 to 3.0 weight % of propylene glycol n-propylether; and

d. 0.5 to 3.0 weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol; and

e. wherein the ratio of the glycol ethers to the alcohol is between 0.02 and 1.0.
