Abstract:
An antimicrobial, hard surface cleaning composition comprising:(a) from about 0.001% to about 15%, by weight of said composition, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactant, anionic surfactant, zwitterionic surfactant, amphoteric surfactant, and mixtures thereof, (b) a cationic antimicrobial active; (c) a nitrogen-containing polymer, wherein said nitrogen-containing polymer is selected from the group consisting of: (i) polyalkyleneimines; (ii) modified polyamines having the formulae: (aa) (PA)w(T)x; (bb) (PA)w(L)z; or (cc) [(PA)w(T)x]y[L]z; and (iii) mixtures thereof; â€ƒwherein PA is a grafted or non-grafted modified or unmodified polyamine backbone unit, T is an amide forming polycarboxylate crosslinking unit, and L is a non-amide forming crosslinking unit, provided that for compounds of type (i) and (iii) the indices w and x have values such that the ratio of w to x is from 0.8:1 to 1.5:1; for compounds of type (ii) the indices w and z have values such that said modified polyamine compounds comprises from about 0.05 to about 2 parts by weight of said L unit; for compounds of type (iii) the indices y and z have values such that said modified polyamine compound comprises from about 0.05 to about 2 parts by weight of said L unit; and (d) aqueous carrier comprising water and optional organic solvent.
