A rapid drying cleaning solution comprises a chelating agent, a detergent, base, alcohol, and water. This cleaning solution can optionally contain fragrances and coloring agents, and can clean a variety of surfaces including natural and engineered wood, ceramic, cement, natural stone, man-made composites, porcelain floors, and other surfaces such as steel, stainless steel, other metallic compositions, ceramic, porcelain, wood and engineered wood countertops, followed by rapid drying of the surface being cleaned.

A cleaning composition includes a surfactant, deionized (DI) water, and an organic solvent. The surfactant has a concentration of from about 0.03 M to about 0.003 M. A cleaning apparatus includes a chuck that receives a substrate, a nozzle for providing the cleaning composition onto the substrate. The cleaning apparatus further includes a chemical solution supply unit supplying the cleaning composition to the nozzle. The chemical solution supply unit mixes the cleaning composition to generate cleaning particles. The cleaning composition includes a surfactant, deionized (DI) water, and an organic solvent. The surfactant has a concentration of from about 0.03 M to about 0.003 M. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes processing a substrate, forming an interlayer insulating layer, polishing an interlayer insulating layer, and providing a cleaning composition onto the interlayer insulating layer to remove first particles.

The use of an alcohol in a liquid cleaning composition including surfactant, for cleaning hydrophobic stains from surfaces and/or for providing suds longevity, wherein the alcohol is selected from the group consisting of: C4-C6 linear mono-alcohols, branched C4-C10 mono-alcohols having one or more C1-C4 branching groups, alkyl mono-glycerols, and mixtures thereof.

A disposable double layered cleaning and disinfecting wipes system and method for cleaning and disinfecting a dirty surface and drying a cleaned surface with the same disposable cloth. The double layered wipes include a first layer composed of threaded cloth and coated with a liquid chemical formula for cleaning and disinfecting the dirty surface. A second layer of the double layered wipes is composed of micro-fiber cloth and is used for drying the cleaned surface.

An aqueous composition comprising a blend of surfactants including (a) a mixture of C6 alkyl glucoside, propylheptanol, and ethoxylate, (b) sorbitan monooleate, (c) polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, (d) trietanolamine, and (e) sodium ether sulfate.

The present invention relates generally to compositions containing anionic surfactant and solvent, more specifically, to compositions containing anionic surfactant and a solvent comprising butanediol.

The present invention relates generally to compositions containing an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkoxylated alkyl sulfates, and mixtures thereof, and a solvent, particularly a solvent comprising one or more diols.

The invention provides a composition comprising a mixture of pentadecanols wherein at least about 60 wt % of the mixture is linear pentadecanol and at least about 10 wt % of the mixture is branched pentadecanols wherein the branched pentadecanols have branching on the second carbon atom. The mixture of pentadecanols may be converted to one or more derivatives, and these derivatives may be used in laundry detergents, cleaning products or as an agricultural adjuvant, an emulsifying agent, a lubricant additive, a pour point depressant, or a personal care ingredient.

The invention provides a composition comprising a mixture of tridecanols wherein at least about 60 wt % of the mixture is linear tridecanol and at least about 10 wt % of the mixture is branched tridecanols wherein the branched tridecanols have branching on the second carbon atom. The mixture of tridecanols may be converted to one or more derivatives, and these derivatives may be used in laundry detergents, cleaning products or as an agricultural adjuvant, an emulsifying agent, a lubricant additive, a pour point depressant, or a personal care ingredient.

The present invention relates generally to compositions containing an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfates, alkoxylated alkyl sulfates, and mixtures thereof, and a solvent, particularly a solvent comprising one or more diols.
