Glycerol acetal sulfate and sulfonates, which may be used in consumer products to provide surfactant properties.

A cleaning composition including a) from about 1% to about 60% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a primary co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant and mixtures thereof; and b) from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight of the composition of a class II hydrophobin.

A hand dishwashing cleaning composition including a) from 20% to 40% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system including an anionic surfactant and amphoteric surfactant in a weight ratio of from about 1:1 to about 3:1 and optionally a non-ionic surfactant wherein if the non-ionic surfactant is present the weight ratio of total surfactant to non-ionic surfactant is greater than 10:1; and b) from about 0.1% to about 3% by weight of the composition of an aminocarboxylic chelant selected from the group consisting of . glutamic-N,N-diacetic acid (GLDA) and its salts, methyl-glycine-diacetic acid (MGDA) and it salts, and mixtures thereof.

Disclosed are latexes, suspensions, and colloids having a cationic antimicrobial compound complexed with an anionic surfactant. The surfactant may have greater affinity for the antimicrobial compound than other anionic surfactants and other anions in the latex, suspension, or colloid that contribute to disperse phase stability to prevent disrupting the dispersions. Dispersions containing the antimicrobial compound may therefore have a shelf life comparable to dispersions that are otherwise identical but lack the cationic antimicrobial compound and its complexed anionic surfactant. Coatings made with the complexes can exhibit essentially undiminished antimicrobial activity.

The present invention relates to a surfactant booster for use in high foaming cleaning compositions. In an aspect of the invention, a C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 or C12 linear alcohol in very low amounts is added to increase surface activity, foam and wetting properties of the composition. The alcohol is added in an amount of alcohol to surfactant of about 1:100 to 1:200 and must be linear. In another aspect, the invention relates to novel cleaning compositions such as pot and pan soaking compositions, dishwashing compositions, food and beverage foaming cleaners, vehicle cleaning and the like suitable for use in hard water, which can be solid or liquid. The invention further relates to methods of making these compositions, and to methods employing these compositions.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaning liquid composition and a cleaning method using the same. A polishing slurry composition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a chelating agent containing an organic salt; and an anionic surfactant.

The present invention is for an acidic cleaning composition which has excellent cleaning performance, low toxicity and good antimicrobial efficacy. The inventive acidic cleaning compositions are capable of sanitizing or disinfecting a variety of hard surfaces. The inventive acidic cleaning compositions can take a variety of forms, such as: disinfecting wipes, all-purpose disinfecting sprays, kitchen cleaners, bathroom cleaners, toilet cleaners, etc. The compositions may meet EPA DfE requirements, EPA category III or IV requirements, and/or be safe for use on food contact surfaces without rinsing. The compositions may include citric acid, an anionic surfactant, a non-volatile glycol solvent, a fatty acid, and water. The compositions may be free of other sanitizing acids, quaternary ammonium compounds, biguanides, peroxides, hypohalites, etc., and have a pH of less than 2.5. The composition may provide sanitization or disinfection against a target microbe within 5 minutes or less, or 4 minutes or less.
