1. A method for cleaning a surface comprising:
- a. providing an absorbent or adsorbent material, said absorbent or adsorbent material including a material selected from the group consisting of wood pulp, wood pulp derivative, synthetic fibers, and mixtures thereof;
b. at least partially exposing said absorbent or adsorbent material with an improved cleaning composition, said improved cleaning composition including a cationic biocide and a surfactant, said cationic biocide including a compound selected from the group consisting of biguanide compound, quaternary ammonium compound or mixtures thereof, said improved cleaning composition including 0.25-2 weight percent quaternary ammonium compound, biguanide or combinations thereof, 0.1-5 weight percent alcohol containing solvent, 0-2 weight percent non-alcohol containing solvent, 0.1-3 weight percent surfactant containing alkyl polyglycoside, amine oxide, or combinations thereof, 0-0.5 weight percent builder detergent, 0.05-5 weight percent copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate quaternized with diethylsulfate, 0.1-2 weight percent biocide release agent, and at least 10 weight percent water, and;
c. contacting said surface with said absorbent or adsorbent material and said improved cleaning composition to cause over 50% of the cationic biocide to be released from said absorbent or adsorbent material.
