Abstract

A method for formulating a cleaning composition contains the step of coating a granular absorbent material with a coating agent to produce a coated absorbent material and mixing the coated absorbent material with a sanitation agent, wherein the coated absorbent material absorbs the sanitation agent to form the cleaning composition. The resulting cleaning composition may be used for cleaning up pathogens or hazardous materials. The cleaning composition may also functions as a liquefiable dry cleaning powder for public areas in response to bodily fluid incidents. A coating method of a non-toxic bio static film on a high surface area solid is disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cleaning composition for decontamination against viruses, comprising:
a granular absorbent material coated with a biocide, wherein the biocide forms a surface bonded film on the granular absorbent material; and
one or more sanitation agents absorbed in said granular absorbent material, wherein said one or more sanitation agents comprise a surfactant,
wherein the cleaning composition is a liquid composition, and
wherein the cleaning composition comprises one or more liquid phase biocides selected from the group consisting of chlorine bleach solutions, hydrogen peroxide solutions, peracetic acid, quaternary amine solutions, alcohol solutions, periodine solutions, dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride and mixtures thereof.

2. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the granular absorbent material is selected from the group consisting of ceramic minerals, zeolite, activated carbon, fumed silica, processed clays, cellulosic absorbents, fibrous absorbents and combinations thereof.

3. The cleaning composition of claim 2 , wherein the granular absorbent material comprises perlite and/or vermiculite.

4. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the biocide is selected from the group consisting of silanes, siloxanes, aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, quaternary amines, fumed metal hydroxides, solutions of silver, solutions of copper and combinations thereof.

5. A sanitation method for decontamination against viruses, comprising the step of:
applying an effective amount of the cleaning composition of claim 1 to a surface in need of sanitation; and
removing the cleaning composition after a period of time.

6. A method for decontaminating a surface from a virus, comprising:
applying an effective amount of the cleaning composition of claim 1 on said surface.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said virus affects one or more of the nervous system, musculo-skeletal system, digestive system, hematological systems, immune systems, or respiratory systems, or wherein said virus is one or more selected from the group consisting of norovirus, HIV, rotavirus, adenovirus, astrovirus, coronavirus, hepatitis virus, Ebola virus, arenaviruses, bunyaviruses, filoviruses, Nipah virus and hantavirus.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein said coronavirus is SARS-CoV-2.

9. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is sodium dodecylsulfate.

10. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , further comprising a modifying agent, wherein the modifying agent is thickening agent, tackifier, silicone gum, absorbent polymer, or combination thereof.

11. The cleaning composition of claim 10 , wherein the modifying agent is a gelling agent.

12. The cleaning composition of claim 10 , wherein the modifying agent is a tackifier.

13. The cleaning composition of claim 10 , wherein the modifying agent is sodium polyacrylate.

14. A cleaning kit for decontaminating viruses, comprising:
a cleaning composition for decontamination against viruses, comprising:
a granular absorbent material coated with a biocide, wherein the biocide forms a surface bonded film on the granular absorbent material; and
one or more sanitation agents absorbed in said granular absorbent material, wherein said one or more sanitation agents comprise a surfactant,
wherein the cleaning composition is a liquid composition, and
wherein the cleaning composition comprises one or more liquid phase biocides selected from the group consisting of chlorine bleach solutions, hydrogen peroxide solutions, peracetic acid, quaternary amine solutions, alcohol solutions, periodine solutions, dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride and mixtures thereof,
one or more items selected from the group consisting of biohazard bags, gloves, twist tie, antimicrobial hand wipe, germicidal wipe, scoops and scrapers, and
instructions on how to use the cleaning composition.

15. A cleaning composition for decontamination against viruses, comprising:
a granular absorbent material coated with a biocide, wherein the biocide forms a surface bonded film on the granular absorbent material; and
one or more sanitation agents absorbed in said granular absorbent material, wherein said one or more sanitation agents comprise a surfactant,
wherein the cleaning composition is a liquid composition, and
wherein the cleaning composition comprises one or more liquid phase biocides selected from the group consisting of chlorine bleach solutions, hydrogen peroxide solutions, peracetic acid, quaternary amine solutions, alcohol solutions, periodine solutions, dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride and mixtures thereof,
wherein the surfactant is an anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, salts of fluorinated fatty acids, silicones, fatty alcohol sulfates, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ether sulfates, α-olefin sulfonate, alkyl alcohol amide, alkyl sulfonic acid acetamide, alkyl succinate sulfonate salts, amino alcohol naphthenates, alkylphenol sulfonate and polyoxyethylene monolaurate.
