An epoxidized oil-based surfactant is the reaction product of an epoxidized compound and a primary and/or secondary alkanolamine, wherein the epoxidized compound is chosen from an epoxidized oil, an epoxidized fatty acid, an epoxidized fatty acid ester, and combinations thereof. An herbicidal composition includes glyphosate or a salt thereof and at least one epoxidized oil-based surfactant. The herbicidal composition is used in a method of controlling unwanted vegetation wherein the method includes the step of applying to the unwanted vegetation a herbicidally effective amount of the aforementioned herbicidal composition. The epoxidized oil-based surfactant is prepared using a method that includes reacting the epoxidized compound and the primary and/or secondary alkanolamine. The epoxidized oil-based surfactant is also utilized in a cleaning composition for the cleaning of hard surfaces, wherein the cleaning composition includes the epoxidized oil-based surfactant and an additional component chosen from an additional surfactant and/or a chelating agent.

One object is to provide a cleansing composition that has excellent cleansing effect and phase inversion feeling, is readily rinsed off in the course of water washing, suppresses the oil-induced stickiness after the use, and has excellent preservation stability. There is provided a cleansing composition comprising: (A) a sugar ester of a fatty acid; (B) at least one type of an anionic surfactant selected from among amino acid surfactants and taurine surfactants; (C) at least one type of a polyglycerol fatty acid diester or a polyglycerol fatty acid triester having an HLB value of not greater than 13; (D) at least one type of a polyglycerol fatty acid monoester having an HLB value of not smaller than 11; (B) an oil that has a liquid form or a paste (non-solid) form at ordinary temperature; (F) a polyol; and (G) water.

The present invention provides a method for washing a hard article, the method including: the contact step of bringing a detergent liquid obtained by mixing (a) a potassium internal olefin sulfonate and (b) water having a hardness of 5° DH or more, into contact with the hard article, and the step of rinsing the hard article after the contact step with water having a hardness of 5° DH or more, wherein the detergent liquid at 30° C. or more is brought into contact with the hard article in at least a part of the contact step.

According to the invention, the compositions and methods provide for the complete removal of labels, synthetic glues and/or adhesives from a plurality of surfaces through the use of an aqueous or non-aqueous basic organic solvent and/or an amidine, optionally in combination with surfactants, chelants, acidulants and/or additional bottle wash additives. Beneficially, the compositions and methods are suitable for use at lower temperatures and pH conditions, along with under caustic-free and/or reduced caustic conditions to effectively remove such labels, synthetic glues and/or adhesives from a surface within less than about 30 minutes.
