Abstract

The present invention relates to cleaning compositions containing C8-C10 alkylpolyglucosides which have low filming and streaking when combined with C2-C4 alcohols. The cleaning compositions can optionally comprise dyes, builders, fatty acids, fragrances, colorants, glycerol, anti-foaming agents, and preservatives.

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. 0.5 to 5.0 weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol or combination of C2 to C4 alcohols;

c. 0.05 to 2.0 weight % of glycerol; and

d. optionally dyes, builders, fatty acids, fragrances, colorants, anti-foaming agent, water-soluble organic acid, and preservatives.

2. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the composition comprises 0.1 to 3.0 weight % of the C8 to C10 alkylpolyglucoside.

3. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the C2 to C4 alcohol or the combination of C2 to C4 alcohols comprise an isopropanol.

4. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the C2 to C4 alcohol or the combination of C2 to C4 alcohols comprise an ethanol.

5. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is loaded onto a substrate.

6. The cleaning composition of claim 1, wherein the composition has a pH of 9.0 or less.

7. 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. 0.5 to 5.0 weight % of a C2 to C4 alcohol or combination of C2 to C4 alcohols;

c. 0.01 to 5.0 weight % of a water-soluble organic acid;

d. 0.05 to 2.0 weight % of glycerol; and

e. optionally dyes, builders, fatty acids, fragrances, colorants, anti-foaming agent, and preservatives.

8. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the water-soluble organic acid is selected from the group consisting of acetic acid, citric acid and formic acid.

9. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the water-soluble organic acid is a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid.

10. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the composition has a pH of 9.0 or less.

11. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the composition has a pH of 7.0 or less.

12. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the composition is loaded onto a substrate.

13. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the composition comprises 0.1 to 3.0 weight % of the C8 to C10 alkylpolyglucoside.

14. The cleaning composition of claim 7, wherein the C2 to C4 alcohol or the combination of C2 to C4 alcohols comprise an ethanol.
