Abstract

Cleaning compositions containing C8-C10 alkylpolyglucosides, have low filming and streaking when combined with C2-C4 alcohols and propylene glycol ethers. The low filming and streaking occurs even in the presence of quaternary ammonium biocides.

Claims

1. 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; and

c. 0.5 to 5% weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol or combination of C2 to C4 alcohols; and

d. a quaternary ammonium biocide;

e. wherein the ratio of the glycol ethers to alcohol is less than 2.0.

2. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises 0.1 to 1.0 weight % of the quaternary ammonium antimicrobial.

3. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the composition additionally comprises an alkanolamine selected from the group consisting of monoethanolamine, monopropanolamine, diethanolamine, dipropanolamine, triethanolamine, and combinations thereof.

4. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the ratio of the glycol ethers to alcohol is less than or equal to 1.5.

5. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the ratio of the glycol ethers to alcohol is less than or equal to 1.0.

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

7. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the glycol ether comprises propylene glycol n-butylether.

8. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the glycol ether comprises dipropylene glycol methylether.

9. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the glycol ether comprises propylene glycol t-butylether.

10. 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. 0.6 to 3.0 weight % of a propylene glycol ether or combination of propylene glycol ethers; and

c. 0.5 to 3.0 weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol.

11. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the composition additionally comprises a quaternary ammonium biocide.

12. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is propylene glycol n-propylether.

13. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is propylene glycol n-butylether.

14. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is dipropylene glycol methylether.

15. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is propylene glycol t-butylether.

16. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is ethylene glycol n-propylether.

17. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is ethylene glycol n-butylether.

18. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the glycol ether is ethylene glycol n-hexylether.

19. The cleaning composition of claim 10, wherein the C8 to C10 alkylpolyglucoside contains substantially no C9 alkyl groups.

21. The cleaning wipe of claim 19, wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol n-propylether, propylene glycol n-butylether and combinations thereof.

22. The cleaning wipe of claim 19, wherein the total weight % of the alcohol and the glycol ether is 2.5 weight % or greater.

20. 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; and

c. 0.5 to 5% weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol or combination of C2 to C4 alcohols; and

d. a quaternary ammonium biocide;

e. wherein the ratio of the glycol ethers or the alcohol is less than 2.0.
