Disclosed herein are cleaning compositions including water, at least one cationic surfactant, and at least one nonionic surfactant.

An aqueous cleaning composition, which may be suitable for use in cleaning hard surfaces, is described. The aqueous cleaning composition includes an ionic liquid, a surfactant, a quaternary ammonium antimicrobial surfactant, and a substantial amount of water. The ionic liquid includes an N-alkyl-N,N-bis(polyethoxyethanol)-N-aliphatic ammonium salt. Other than an optional fragrance component, the cleaning composition typically is substantially free of volatile organic compounds. The cleaning compositions may also include a chelating agent, such as an aminopolycarboxylate chelating agent.

An aqueous cleaning composition, which may be suitable for use in cleaning hard surfaces, is described. The aqueous cleaning composition includes an N,N-dialkyl-N-aliphatic ammonium hydroxycarboxylate salt, a nonionic surfactant and/or anionic surfactant, an quaternary ammonium antimicrobial surfactant and a substantial amount of water. The aqueous cleaning composition commonly has a pH of no more than about 8 and other than an optional fragrance component, the composition is substantially free of volatile organic compounds. The cleaning compositions may also include a chelating agent, such as an aminopolycarboxylate chelating agent.

Multi-surfactant systems where two or more surfactant molecules are coupled to control the spatial distribution of polar groups of the combined surfactant molecules are disclosed. The system can be implemented by an aqueous medium including an associate charge constant surfactant and charge variable surfactant. The charge variable surfactant has at least one neutral end group at one pH value of the medium and at least one either an anionic polar group or a cationic polar group at a different pH value of the medium. The charge constant surfactant has at least one, and preferably two or more groups that does not change charge at the one or different pH values of the aqueous medium. The multi-surfactant system can be coupled or connected to the surface of a substrate where the arrangement of the two or more coupled surfactant molecules control the polarity of the substrate surface.
