Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Cleaning compositions including a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether are disclosed. These cleaning compositions are useful as liquid cleaners or de-greasers for animate surfaces, such as skin. The cleaning compositions provide improved cleaning and removal of soils without the use of certain VOCs.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 - 20 . (canceled) 21 . A skin cleaning composition comprising a synergistic combination of a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate and wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether and combinations thereof. 22 . The skin cleaning composition of claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 23 . The skin cleaning composition of claim 22 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 24 . The skin cleaning composition of claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 6% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 25 . The skin cleaning composition of claim 24 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 4% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 26 . The skin cleaning composition of claim 21 , wherein the composition further comprises a skin conditioning agent. 27 . The skin cleaning composition of claim 21 , wherein the composition further comprises a thickener. 28 . A cleaning composition comprising a synergistic combination of a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate and wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether and combinations thereof. 29 . The cleaning composition of claim 28 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 30 . The cleaning composition of claim 29 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 31 . The cleaning composition of claim 28 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 6% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 32 . The cleaning composition of claim 31 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 4% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 33 . The cleaning composition of claim 28 , wherein the composition further comprises a skin conditioning agent. 34 . A wipe comprising a fibrous substrate and a cleaning composition, wherein the composition comprises a synergistic combination of a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate and wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether and combinations thereof. 35 . The wipe of claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 36 . The wipe of claim 35 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 37 . The wipe of claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 6% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 38 . The wipe of claim 37 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 4% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 39 . The wipe of claim 34 , wherein the composition further comprises a skin conditioning agent. 40 . The wipe of claim 34 , wherein the composition further comprises a thickener.
