Abstract

A hard surface cleaning composition comprising:
a) from 1% to 60% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a primary co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, zwitteronic and mixtures thereof; and b) from 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition of a polyetheramine.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hard surface cleaning composition comprising:
a) from about 1% to about 60% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a primary co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, zwitteronic and mixtures thereof; and
b) from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a polyetheramine of Formula (I):

wherein R 3 is ethyl, R 4 is butyl, and each of R 1 , R 2 , R 5 , and R 6 is H, each of A 1 -A 6 is independently selected from linear or branched alkylenes having about 2 to about 18 carbon atoms, each of Z 1 -Z 2 is independently selected from OH or NH 2 , wherein at least one of Z 1 -Z 2 is NH 2 , wherein the sum of x+y is in the range of 2 to about 200, wherein x≧1 and y≧1, and the sum of x 1 +y 1 is in the range of 2 to about 200, wherein x 1 ≧1 and y 1 ≧1.

2. A composition according to claim 1 wherein in said polyetheramine of Formula (I), each of A 1 -A 6 is independently selected from ethylene, propylene, or butylene.

3. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the polyetheramine of Formula (I) has a weight average molecular weight of less than about 1000 grams/mole.

4. A hard surface cleaning composition comprising:
a) from about 1% to about 60% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system comprising an anionic surfactant and a primary co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of amphoteric, zwitteronic and mixtures thereof; and
from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a polyetheramine having the following formula:

wherein n+m is from about 0 to about 8.

5. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the anionic surfactant is selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfate, alkyl alkoxy sufate, alkyl benzene sulfonate, paraffin sulfonate and mixtures thereof.

6. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the anionic surfactant is a mixture of alkyl sulfate and alkyl alkoxy sufate and wherein the alkyl alkoxy sulfate is an alkyl ethoxy sulfate.

7. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the primary co-surfactant comprises an amphoteric surfactant and wherein the amphoteric surfactant comprises at least about 60% by weight thereof of an amine oxide surfactant.

8. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the primary co-surfactant comprises an amphoteric and a zwitterionic surfactant and wherein the amphoteric and the zwitterionic surfactant are present in a weight ratio of from about 2:1 to about 1:2.

9. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the surfactant system further comprises a non-ionic surfactant.

10. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises a magnesium salt.

11. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises an aminocarboxylate chelant.

12. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises an isothiazolinone based preservative.

13. A composition according to claim 8 wherein the amphoteric surfactant is an amine oxide surfactant and the zwitteronic surfactant is a betaine.
