Assignee:

Airwick Industries, Inc. - Carlstadt NJ

International Classification:

B32B 2700

US Classification:

428289

Abstract:

A disposable article for light cleaning of hard surfaces comprises a non-woven substrate, preferably of cellulosic or cellulose-containing material, carrying an aqueous cleaning composition loaded onto the substrate at a level less than about 75%, preferably less than 50%, of its maximum absorbence capacity. The aqueous composition comprises one or more nonionic surfactants, one or more anionic surfactnats or a mixture of nonionic and anionic surfactants, a water miscible solvent for oils, (preferably a low molecular weight alcohol), and an alkalinity agent such as ammonium hydroxide in sufficient amount to maintain the pH of the extracted solution within the range of 8 to 12.

US Classification:

428288

Abstract:

A disposable article for interim cleaning of hard surfaces comprises a non-woven substrate, carrying an aqueous cleaning composition loaded onto the substrate at a level less than about 85%, preferably less than 75%, of its absorbence capacity. The aqueous composition comprises: optionally, one or more nonionic surfactants, one or more anionic surfactants or mixture of nonionic and anionic surfactants; a water miscible solvent for oils, (preferably a low molecular weight alcohol or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone); and an alkalinity agent, such as ammonium hydroxide, in sufficient amount to maintain the pH of the extracted solution within the range of 8 to 12. The non-woven substance is preferably a non-chemically bonded fibrous material.
