A single-step absorbent wipe for cleaning and disinfecting medical instruments includes various active ingredients as well as compounds that increase the efficacy profile of the product against various organisms, improve the buffering capacity of the formulation, enhance the antimicrobial efficacy against mycobacteria, increases the wetting and cleaning profile of the formulation, as well as adjusts the pH thereof. The disinfectant wipe provides a procedure to suitably clean and intermediate level disinfect medical instruments that are heat liable as well as non-submersible.

Disclosed herein are cleaning compositions, e.g., dishwashing compositions, comprising one or more anionic surfactants comprising sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), one or more amphoteric surfactants, and an additive selected from caprylyl glycol, ethanol, and a combination thereof, wherein the composition contains less than 1 ppm. The cleaning compositions may further comprise a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). Methods of making and cleaning a hard surface using such compositions are also provided.

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.

A cleaning system for all laundry, high performance textiles, and sports gear, which includes a washing agent and a protective agent. The washing agent is configured to remove unwanted matter from the high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry. The protective agent is configured to create a bonded barrier comprising organosilane antimicrobial(s) on the high performance textiles, sports gear, and/or other laundry for protection against odors from bacteria, mold and mildew and/or the like. The washing agent and the protective agent are configured to be used in a two-step water-based treatment process in which the washing agent is provided in a given first step of the treatment process and the protective agent is provided in a given subsequent second step of the treatment process.

The present invention provides a cleansing composition for a pump foamer that not only has excellent foam quality and low-temperature stability, but can also be easily rinsed away with a small amount of water. A cleansing composition to be dispensed by a pump foamer of the present invention is characterized by comprising: (a) 2 to 5 mass % of an ionic surfactant; and (b) 20 to 60 mass % of a polyhydric alcohol comprising propylene glycol; wherein at least 90 mass % of the (a) ionic surfactant is accounted for by a higher fatty acid soap having 5 to 25 carbon atoms, and an amount of propylene glycol contained in the (b) polyhydric alcohol is less than 20 mass % with respect to the entire composition.

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.

Provided are a wiping detergent composition for textile products capable of, when wiping a stain derived from food or the like attached to a textile product using a detergent liquid, not only reducing the degree of soiling of the stain portion, but also reducing the spread of the stain around the stain portion, and a method for removing a stain attached to a textile product using the same. A wiping detergent composition for textile products containing the following component (a1) in an amount of 0.3 mass % or more and 10 mass % or less, the following component (b) in an amount of 0.1 mass % or more, and water, wherein the mass ratio of the content of component (a1) to the content of component (b), (a1)/(b), is 0.6 or more and 50 or less, component (a1): one or more surfactants selected from a nonionic surfactant with an HLB of 9 or more and 16.0 or less and an anionic surfactant, and component (b): an organic solvent having a hydroxyl group with a ClogP of −2.0 or more and less than 1.0.

A detergent composition includes a surfactant component including a linear alkylbenzene sulfonate in an amount of from about 10 to about 35 wt % actives, an alkoxylated alcohol in an amount of from about 10 to about 30 wt % actives, water in a total amount of from about 10 to about 27 wt %, sodium and/or potassium hydroxide in an amount of from about 2 to about 4 wt % actives, an acidic defoamer in an amount of from about 1 to about 10 wt % actives, and a filler in an amount of at least about 25 wt % actives. The filler includes (1) propylene glycol, (2) glycerin, and (3) high fructose corn syrup in a weight ratio of actives of about (0 to 0.5):(0 to 0.5):(0.5 to 0.95). The composition includes less than 5 wt % actives of an alcohol ethoxy sulfate and less than 0.1 wt % actives of monoethanolamine.
