Existin~ ~eneral pu~pose cleaning prod~cts which
are intended for household use ~ene~ally c~e~n effeotively
~ut then need rlns~ns or ~ubgequent buff$ng to o~tain a
goo~ result, particula~ly on hl~ gloss s~faces like
glass or chrome. Exist~n~ products spec~fically for
w~ndow ~1 eaning often recommend u~ing the proauct in

order to avoid streaks or smear~ In pr~t~ce usage is

y~y~esses~ the users' ~loth will, of cours~, h~o~ wet
with soiled product solutlon absor~e~ by the ~loth. These
factors often lead to visible aeposits belng left on the

At least ~n preferre4 forms, this invention
~eeks to prov~de a produ~t which wlll glve a sood flnish

Accordlng to the present ~nventlon, the~e ls
prov~ded an aqueous cle~ning ~o~poslt~ on comprlsing:
0.1-10~ by we~sht of~ammonia or an al~anolamine
having a boil~ng point below 200nC at stmospherio pres~u~e
and 0.001 to 0.5%, better 0.001 to 0.05% of cationic
polymer having a molecular weight ove~ 5000:
in a solvent system comp~isin~ wate~ and
optionally up to 10~ by welyht of an o~ganic ~olvent whioh
~a~ a boillng point b~low 200-C at atmospheric pressu~e or
has an evaporation rate greater than 0.01 times that of
n-butyl acetate at ~0C, an~ pre~erably in~ludes an ~l~yl
group of 1 to 5 carbon atomæ, such as a propyl, butyl or
pentyl ~oup, to~ether with ~t lea~t one hydroxyl group;
the compositlon being substantially free of
lnorganio electrolyte and c~ntain$ng at ~ost 0.~% by
weight of surfactant. All ~he above percenta~es are base~
on the whole oomposition.
In thls invention, it is strongly p~eferred that
the total amount of surfaotant and any other materials
which do not boll below 200~C at atmospheric p~essure does
not ~YO~ 0.~% better 0.2~ ~y weight bas~d on the whole
compo~itlon.
P~efera~ly, the said organ~ ~olvent ls p~esent
in an amount w~$ch is at lea~t 0~05~ bette~ from 0.5 to
10% by we~ght.
Compositions of this invention have a ve~y large
proportion of oonstituents which a~e suffioiently vol~t~le
for ~es$dues of them to evapor2te from the surface. The
201 ~642
p~operty of bo~ling below 200~C at no~mal atmosphe~lo
pre~su~e of 760mm~g i~ an ~ndicator of adequat~
volat~lity.
The alternative asse~sment o~ volatil$ty by
comparison of evaporation rate with that of n-butyl
~cet8te, is a m~thod of ~ua~lng volat~llty whloh ~s
frequently used ln the solvent lndusty.
When the c~position ls applled, say with a clot~, the
bulk of the composition and solubilised soll wlll be
~emo~ed by t~e cloth w~th ~hich it i8 spplied and/or a
second cloth used subseguently. Most ~f the res~due left
on the su~face w~ll evaporate~ Polar o~anic ~ompoun~
with boilinçl polnts o~r 200 C generally do not have
suffl~ient volatility fo~ thl~: consequ~ntly the level of
them is pr~ferably very low, as stated above.
P~ef~red and essentl~l oonstltuen~s will now be
discussed.
Preferably any organlc solvent is sufflciently
water soluble to give a sin~le phas~ solvent syste~.
However, it ~s posslble to u~e a golvent of low wat8~
solubillty and include ~uffic~ent solvent that there is a
surplus of organlc solvent forming a ~eparate phas~ This
oould be ~ispersea aR an emulsion, o~ dist~ibuted through
the product by æhaking the container be~ore use.
~5 T}~e p2~Q~e~e~ olas~ of o~gan~c ~olvents a~e
t~ose ~hich havq both hydroxyl funotionali~y and an alkyl
group which i~ Cl to C5, preferably C3 to C5 alkyl. In
thls latter aa~e, of course, the solvent wll 1 pro~lde ~

combinatlon of -y~loph~ lio and hy~G~hob~ ~un~tlons, ~o
that pr~erre~ solvQnts bring about a lo~ering of gu~face
ten~ion as well a~ helping to so~ubllise oily soils.
The C3 to C5 alkyl group may ~e linked di~ectly
to hydroxyl as ~n the case of aliphati~ alcohols or it may
be o~nnected th~o~gh ~ llnk~ ng group cont~ining ~oth
carbon ato~S and an atom othe~ ~han ~arbon or hyd~ogen -
usually oxygen.

Suit~ble so~ven~s ha~ins a formula as deflned

propanol, butanol an~ pentanol, 2-~LGpoxye~hanol,
~-~utoxyethanol, 2-p~ntoxye~hanol, 1-~.opGh~propan-2-ol
and
l-~utoxypropan-2-ol.
Examples of less wAter soluble ~olvent~ whlch
m~y be ~ncluded, giv~ng mo~e th~n one phase, are
paraffins, olef~ns, teL~n2s ~nd al~yl benzenes, subJect
~n each ins~ance to the r~quirement that the boil~ng point
is below 200C.
~he ammonla or alkanolam~e gerves to ~end~ the
compo~itlon alkaline, whi~h is benefic~al for cleanln~
psrformance. Al~ano~ ne~ are preferred ove~ ammonia;
the~r hyd~oxy functlon s~rves to e~An~e water so~ub~lity
and the am~no group contri~utes ~o the solubilisat~on of
polar fatty 8011~.
An ~lkanolam~e meeting the requlrement fo~
boiling point below 200'C will generally be a
monoalkanolam~ne, whose structural formula is:
R2
R -Nl3
whe~e Rl is hyd~oxy alkyl an~ R2 and R3 are (independently
of each other) ei~her hydrogen or alkyl.

The amount of alkanolamlne may be up to 10% by

believed th~t ~he polymer 1s sble to oauge a~y~y~tion of

cauqin~ e~ive agg~egation and interfe~enae w~th

Cationi~ polymers yenerally conslst ~f a
polymer~c ch~in w~ ch does not have cAtionlc charac~er,
bearlng catlonic sub~titute ~roup~.
Certain cationic polymers can lnteract with
anionic or amp~oteri~ surfactants, r~d~c~g the
effect$vene~s of both. We hav~ found that if an~o
sur~actant i~ present, wlthin the l~mit o~ 0.5% ~y weigh~

Th~ compos~tions of the Examples were teRted for
ætreaking brought a~out by com~onents of the aomposit~o~
and for ~ffec~veness in oleaning.
17 20~ q64~
Streaking is assessed sub;ectively on high gloss
black-coloured ceramic tiles which have been wiped over
with a sponge cloth loaded with a standard amount of
formulation. The liquid film is allowed to evaporate
before assessment is made. High gloss black tiles are a
very discriminating surface for judgement of streaking and
product residues.
Effectiveness was assessed using ceramic floor
tiles soiled with either a predominantly fatty or a
predominantly particulate soil. Soiled tiles were
prepared by a combination of spraying of soil components
from a solvent solution/suspension, followed by rubbing of
soil into the surface to obtain an even coverage which
cannot be easily wiped off with a dry cloth.
To assess cleaning performance, 3 drops of
composition were applied to the soiled surface, allow~d ~o
soak for lO seconds, then wiped off with a dry paper
tissue.
The predominantly fatty soil consisted of 5
parts kaolin, 0.2 parts carbon black, 19 parts of glycerol
trioleate and 1 part oleic acid. This represents a model
for kitchen and bathroom soil. The predominantly
particulate soil consisted of 8 parts Illite clay, 0.1
parts carbon black and 2 parts glycerol trioleate; this is
a model for the soils found on floors and windows.
The results are expressed as a ranking of
performance, l representing the standard achieved by
