Claim:
1. An animate surface treatment composition which imparts a virucidal benefit to a treated animate surface which composition comprises: a metal ion source material selected from a copper ion source material which releases Cu(I) and/or Cu(II) ions into the said treatment composition or a zinc ion source material which releases Zn(I) and/or Zn(II) ions into the said treatment composition; at least one quaternary ammonium compound which independently of other constituents present exhibits a microbicidal effect; about 10% to about 75% wt. of at least one lower alkyl aliphatic monohydric alcohol which independently of other constituents present exhibits a microbicidal effect; water; and, optionally at least one further detersive surfactant, further optionally, one or more further constituents which impart one or more further technical or aesthetic benefits to the composition, wherein the treatment composition exhibits a log10 reduction of at least 0.5 against adenovirus and/or poliovirus type 1 (Sabin) (“PV1”) when tested according to ASTM E1052 Standard Test Method for Efficacy of Antimicrobial Agents against Viruses in Suspension, or ASTM E1053 Standard Test Method to Assess Virucidal Activity of Chemicals Intended for Disinfection of Inanimate, Nonporous Environmental Surfaces.
