Abstract:
A packaged cleaning composition concentrate includes a container for holding a cleaning composition concentrate, and a cleaning composition concentrate. The cleaning composition concentrate has a solids content of at lesat about 1 wt.% based on the weight of the cleaning composition concentrate. The cleaning composition concentrate includes a surfactant component, a dispersant component, and at least one of a sheeting agent or a humectant. A method for forming a use composition is provided.
Abstract:
A composition for blood-containing soils is provided. The composition is useful in warewashing, hard surface cleaning, laundry, and in cleaning medical, dental, and animal care instruments and implements. A composition of the invention comprises an iron chelant, a reducing agent, and lysing agent. Compositions of the invention may be provided in concentrated form or as ready-to-use solutions and may be provided in liquid, powder, solid, or granulated forms. Optional additional ingredients include but are not limited to surfactants, pH modifiers, viscosity modifiers, water, builders, corrosion inhibitors, threshhold agents, anti-redeposition agents, aesthetic aids, antimicrobial agents, solidification agents, and processing aids. A desirable feature of the invention lies in its ability to clean blood-containing soils at low active concentrations. The invention further provides a method of removing blood-containing soils from a surface including applying a composition to a soil, the composition including an iron sequestrant, a reducing agent, and a lytic agent.

Abstract:
A phosphorus-containing cleaning product manufactured or sold in association with a brand may be replaced by a substitute similarly-branded cleaning product or cleaning system containing less phosphorus-containing compound, and containing (or used with a water treatment product containing) sufficient magnesium compound to provide commercially acceptable cleaning performance when the substitute cleaning product contains or is used with hard water.
Abstract:
An aminocarboxylate- or polycarboxylate-containing cleaning product manufactured or sold in association with a brand may be replaced by a substitute similarly-branded cleaning product or cleaning system containing less of one or both of the aminocarboxylate or polycarboxylate, and containing (or used with a water treatment product containing) sufficient magnesium compound to provide commercially acceptable cleaning performance when the substitute cleaning product contains or is used with hard water.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for the use of activator complexes to enhance lower temperature cleaning in alkaline peroxide cleaning systems. Compositions including an activator complex, an active oxygen source, and a source of alkalinity are applied to the surface to be cleaned at temperatures between about 5°C and about 50°C. The methods of the present invention provide for enhanced soil removal with reduced energy, water, and chemistry consumption.

Abstract:
A solid cleaning composition comprises a source of active oxygen agent within a binder complex. The solid is formed by a binding agent that forms the ingredients into a solid. The binding agent is a composition formed by the solidification of a mixture of an organic sequestrant, including phosphonate or amino carboxylic acid or mixtures thereof, an active oxygen compound, and water. The solid composition can be dissolved in an aqueous solution creating an aqueous concentrate of the active oxygen at a useful concentration. The binding agent can also be used to bind additional functional materials and form a solid cleaning composition comprising the source of stabilized active oxygen as well as the additional functional material.
