Abstract:
An aqueous antibacterial abrasive cleaning composition comprising, on a weight basis,from 8% to 80% of abrasive particles, selected from sodium catonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, potassium sulphate, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium succinate, sodium adipate and sodium glutarate, from 0.5% to 25% in total of one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of non-ionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and mixtures thereof, from 0.1% to 10% in total of at least one quaternary ammonium antibacterial agent of the formula: whereinthe cation portion of the molecule has a molecular weight of at least 165, at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is an optionally halogen-substituted hydrophobic aliphatic, aryl-aliphatic or aliphatic-aryl radical having from 6 to 26 carbon atoms, the others of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are hydrocarbon radicals having a total of no more than 12 carbon atoms, and X is a salt-forming anion, from 0% to 15% of a solvent, and from 0.1 to 8% of a thickening agent, wherein the abrasive particles are soluble in the composition and are present in an amount in excess of their saturation solubility.
