Industrial 2-in-1 cleaning compositions providing both detergency and rinseability in a single cleaning composition comprising a polymer are disclosed. Alkali metal carbonate-based cleaning compositions and methods of both making and using the same provide user-friendly, solid, detergent compositions without the need for using a separate rinse aid composition. The compositions and methods are particularly well suited for use in industrial cleaning using alkali metal carbonate compositions that beneficially provide cleaning and rinseability in the rinse cycle.

The invention provides contact lens storage, cleaning and treatment compositions comprising nonionic surfactants. The invention further provides methods for treating enhancing contact lens wear time and comfort, reducing contact lens deposits and treating dry eye via contact lenses.

Cleaning solution for cleaning and/or wetting metal surfaces, comprising at least one acid, a first surfactant, which is an alkyl-poly(ethyleneglycol-co-propyleneglycol)-ether having a cloud point of ≤25° C., a second surfactant, which is selected from the group consisting of i) an alkyl-poly(ethyleneglycol-co-propyleneglycol)-ether having a cloud point of ≥30° C., ii) an alkyl-polyethyleneglycol-ether having a cloud point of ≥45° C.
wherein the cloud points are determined according to European Standard EN 1890:2006, item 8.2 of German Version, with the modification that 10 wt % H.sub.2SO.sub.4 is used as solvent and that the concentration of the surfactant is 1000 mg/L.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing hydrophobic soil from a textile comprising the step of treating the textile with a cleaning composition comprising at least two surfactants selected from nonionic surfactants of general formula (I) and/or alkylpolyglycosides of general formula (II). The present invention further relates to a use of the cleaning composition for reducing hydrophobic soil from a textile.

A composition includes a C10 aliphatic branched chain alcohol ethoxylate; a C12 aliphatic straight chain alcohol ethoxylate, and a reactive builder. The composition effects an increase of at least about 30% in detergency measured as reflectance at 460 nanometers (nm) of a stained fabric at which the composition has been applied when compared to reflectance observed at 460 nm at the stained fabric prior to application of the composition. The stained fabric treated at which the composition has been applied exhibits a reflectance at 460 nm that is greater than the reflectance of the stained fabric at which a substantially similar composition has been applied. The substantially similar composition includes nonyl phenol ethoxylate.

An automatic dishwashing detergent composition having a pH as measured in 1% weight aqueous solution at 25° C. of from about 5 to about 7.5, the composition includes a surface-modification surface-substantive polymer.

An automatic dishwashing detergent composition having a pH as measured in 1% weight aqueous solution at 25° C. of from about 5 to about 7.5, the composition includes a sulfonated polymer.

A disinfecting, sanitizing and cleaning composition is a formulation that is safe for use on food contact surfaces without the need for any post-application water rinse. In one exemplary embodiment, the cleaning and disinfecting composition eliminates the need for the post-application water rinse by using only components that are considered Food Safe by the EPA. In another exemplary embodiment, the cleaning and disinfecting composition the includes citric acid, but without any anionic surfactants in the cleaning and disinfecting composition. In still another exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the cleaning and disinfecting composition includes a second organic acid and one or more nonionic surfactants as components along with citric acid to provide unexpected and beneficial antimicrobial properties to the cleaning and disinfecting composition.

The invention includes a solid rinse aid that is particularly designed for extrusion solid formation and which is effective for creating spotless surfaces after rinsing. According to the invention, application has identified the critical combination of solid surfactants, coupling agents, hydrotrope, and hardening agents that is acceptable in the extrusion process to create a solid. The hydrotrope includes one or more short-chain alkylbenzene and/or alkyl naphthalene sulfonates. The composition hardens quickly but not so quick as to negatively impact the extrusion process. The compositions may also be used to form pressed or cast solids.
