Description: CLEANING COMPOSITION Technical field The present invention is in the field of hard surface cleaning compositions, in particular it relates to products and methods suitable for the removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware. Background of the invention Cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils are amongst the most severe types of soils to remove from surfaces. Traditionally, the removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware requires soaking the soiled object prior to a mechanical action. Apparently, the automatic dishwashing process alone does not provide a satisfactory removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils. Manual dishwashing process requires a tremendous rubbing effort to remove cooked-, baked- and burnt-on soils and this can be detrimental to the safety and condition of the cookware/tableware. The use of cleaning compositions containing solvent for helping in the removal of cooked-, baked- and burnt-on solids is known in the art. For example, US-A-5, 102,573 provides a method for treating hard surfaces soiled with cooked-on, baked-on or dried-on food residues comprising applying a pre-spotting composition to the soiled article. The composition applied comprises surfactant, builder, amine and solvent. US-A-5,929,007 provides an aqueous hard surface cleaning composition for removing hardened dried or baked-on grease soil deposits. The composition comprises nonionic surfactant, chelating agent, caustic, a glycol ether solvent system, organic amine and anti-redeposition agents. WO-A-94/28108 discloses an aqueous cleaner concentrate composition, that can be diluted to form a more viscous use solution comprising an effective thickening amount of a rod micelle thickener composition, lower alkyl glycol ether solvent and hardness sequestering agent. The application also describes a method of cleaning a food preparation unit having at least one substantially vertical surface having a baked food soil coating, hi practice, however, none of the art has been found to be very effective in removing baked-on, polymerized soil from metal and other substrates. Thus, there is still need for cleaning compositions and methods used prior to the washing process of tableware and cookware soiled with cooked-on, baked-on or burnt-on food in order to facilitate the removal of these difficult food residues. There is also a need for cleaning compositions and methods having improved efficacy in baked-on soil removal. Summary of the invention According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hard surface cleaning composition for removing cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soils (such as grease, meat, dairy, fruit, pasta and any other food especially difficult to remove after the cooking process) from cookware and tableware (including stainless steel, glass, plastic, wood and ceramic objects), wherein the composition comprises an organoamine solvent. In general terms, the composition has a liquid surface tension of less than about 26 mN/m, preferably less than about 25 mN/m, preferably less than about 24.5 mN/m and more preferably less than about 24 mN/m and a pH, as measured in a 10% solution in distilled water, of at least 10.5. The organoamine solvent is present in the compositions herein in an effective amount, i.e., in an amount effective to provide cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soil removal functionality. The efficacy of the organoamine solvent at low liquid surface tensions and high pH appears to be related to its ability to act as an agent for swelling, hydrating or otherwise solvating the cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soil. A soil swelling agent is understood herein to be a substance or composition capable of swelling cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soil deposited on a substrate after treating said substrate with the soil swelling agent without the application of external mechanical forces. Soil swelling effect can be quantified by the soil swelling index. The composition of the invention preferably has a pH, as measured in a 10% solution in distilled water, from at least about 10.5, preferably from about 11 to about 14 and more preferably from about 11.5 to about 13.5. hi the case of cleaning of cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soils cleaning performance is related in part to the high pH of the cleaning composition. However, due to the acidic nature of some of the soils, such as for example cooking oil, a reserve of alkalinity is desirable in order to maintain a high pH. On the other hand the reserve alkalinity should not be so high as to risk damaging the skin of the user. Therefore, the compositions of the invention preferably have a reserve alkalinity of less than about 5, more preferably less than about 4 and especially less than about 3. "Reserve alkalinity", as used herein refers to, the ability of a composition to maintain an alkali pH in the presence of acid. This is relative to the ability of a composition to have sufficient alkali in reserve to deal with any added acid while maintaining pH. More specifically, it is defined as the grams of NaOH per 100 cc's, exceeding pH 9.5, in product. The reserve alkalinity for a solution is determined in the following manner. A Mettler DL77 automatic titrator with a Mettler DG115-SC glass pH electrode is calibrated using pH 4, 7 and 10 buffers (or buffers spanning the expected pH range). A 1% solution of the composition to be tested is prepared in distilled water. The weight of the sample is noted. The pH of the 1% solution is measured and the solution is titrated down to pH 9.5 using a solution of 0.25N HCL. The reserve alkalinity (RA) is calculated in the following way: RA= %NaOHxSpecific gravity %NaOH=ml HClxNormality of HClx40χ 100/Weight of sample aliquot titrated(g)x 1000 The addition of low level of surfactant selected from anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, nonionic and semi-polar surfactants and mixtures thereof, to the composition of the invention aids the cleaning process and also helps to care for the skin of the user. Preferably the level of surfactant is from about 0.05 to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.09 to about 5% and more preferably from 0.1 to 2%. A preferred surfactant for use herein is an amine oxide surfactant. The soil swelling index (SSI) is a measure of the increased thickness of soil after treatment with a substance or composition in comparison to the soil before treatment with the substance or composition. It is believed, while not being limited by theory, that the thickening is caused, at least in part, by hydration or solvation of the soil. Swelling of the soil makes the soil easier to remove with no or minimal application of force, e.g. wiping, rinsing or manual and automatic dishwashing. The measuring of this change of soil thickness gives the SSI. The amount of substance or composition necessary to provide soil swelling functionality will depend upon the nature of the substance or composition and can be determined by routine experimentation. Other conditions effective for soil swelling such as pH, temperature and treatment time can also be determined by routine experimentation. Preferred herein, however are organoamine solvents effective in swelling cooked-, baked- or baked-on soils such as polymerised grease or carbohydrate soils on glass or metal substrates, whereby after the organoamine has been in contact with the soil for 45 minutes or less, preferably 30 min or less and more preferably 20 min or less at 20°C, the organoamine has an SSI at 5% aqueous solution and pH of 12.8 of at least about 15%, preferably at least about 20%, more preferably at least about 30% and especially at least about 50%. Preferably also the choice of organoamine is such that the final compositions have an SSI measured as neat liquids under the same treatment time and temperature conditions of at least about 100%, preferably at least about 200% and more preferably at least about 500%. Highly preferred soil swelling agents and final compositions herein meet the SSI requirements on polymerized grease soils according to the procedure set out below. SSI is determined herein by optical profilometry, using, for example, a Zygo NewNiew 5030 Scanning White Light Interferometer. A sample of polymerized grease on a brushed, stainless steel coupon is prepared as described hereinbelow with regard to the measurement of polymerized grease removal index. Optical profilometry is then run on a small droplet of approximately 10 μm thickness of the grease at the edge of the grease sample. The thickness of the soil droplet before (Si) and after (S f ) treatment is measured by image acquisition by means of scanning white light interferometry. The interferometer (Zygo NewNiew 5030 with 20X Mirau objective) splits incoming light into a beam that goes to an internal reference surface and a beam that goes to the sample. After reflection, the beams recombine inside the interferometer, undergo constructive and destructive interference, and produce a light and dark fringe pattern. The data are recorded using a CCD (charged coupled device) camera and processed by the software of the interferometer using Frequency Domain Analysis. The dimensions of the image obtained (in pixels) is then converted in real dimension (μm or mm). After the thickness of the soil (Sj) on the coupon has been measured the coupon is soaked in the invention composition at ambient temperature for a given length of time and the thickness of the soil (S f ) is measured repeating the procedure set out above. If necessary, the procedure is replicated over a sufficient member of droplets and samples to provide statistical significance. The SSI is calculated in the following manner: SSI = [(S f - Si) / Si] x l00 The compositions herein are characterized by extremely low liquid surface tensions and contact angles on polymerized grease-coated substrates. In preferred embodiments of the invention the composition is selected such as to display an advancing contact angle on a polymerised grease-coated glass substrate at 25°C of less than about 20°, preferably less than about 10° and more preferably less than about 5°. The method for determining contact angle is as follows. A sample plate (prepared as described below) is dipped into and pulled out of a liquid and contact angles calculated after Wilhelmy Method. The force exerted on the sample according to the immersion depth is measured (using a Kruss K12 tensiometer and System K121 software) and is proportional to the contact angle of the liquid on the solid surface. The sample plate is prepared as follows: Spray 30-50 grams of Canola Oil into a beaker. Dip a glass slide (3x9x0.1 cm) into the Oil and thoroughly coat the surface. This results in an evenly dispersed layer of oil on the surface. Adjust the weight of product on the slide's surface until approximately 0.5 g of oil has been delivered and evenly distributed. At this point, bake the slides at 250°C for 20 minutes, and allow to cool to room temperature. , According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a hard surface cleaning composition for removing cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware, the composition comprising an organoamine solvent and wherein the composition displays an advancing contact angle on a polymerised grease-coated glass substrate at 25°C of less than about 20°, preferably less than about 10° and more preferably less than about 5°. The compositions of the invention may additionally comprise a spreading auxiliary. The function of the spreading auxiliary is to reduce the interfacial tension between the organoamine and soil, thereby increasing the wettability of soils by the organoamine. The spreading auxiliary when added to the compositions herein leads to a lowering in the surface tension of the compositions, preferred spreading auxiliaries being those which lower the surface tension below that of the auxiliary itself. Especially useful are spreading auxiliaries able to render a surface tension below about 26 mN/m, preferably below about 24.5 mN/m and more preferably below about 24 mN/m, and especially below about 23.5 mN/m. Surface tensions are measured herein at 25°C. Without wishing to be bound by the theory, it is believed that the organoamine penetrates and hydrates the soils. The spreading auxiliary facilitates the interfacial process between the organoamine and the soil and aids swelling of the soil. The soil penetration and swelling is believed to weaken the binding forces between soil and substrate. The resulting compositions are particularly effective in removing soils of a polymerized baked-on nature from metallic substrates. Spreading auxiliaries for use herein can be selected generally from organic solvents, wetting agents and mixtures thereof. In preferred embodiments the liquid surface tension of the spreading auxiliary is less than about 30 mN/m, preferably less than about 28 mN/m, more preferably less than about 26 mN/m and more preferably less than about 24.5 mN/m. Suitable organic solvents capable of acting as spreading auxiliaries include alcoholic solvents, glycols and glycol derivatives and mixtures thereof. Preferred for use herein are mixtures of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol butyl ether. Wetting agents suitable for use as spreading auxiliaries herein are surfactants and include anionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, nonionic and semi-polar surfactants. Preferred nonionic surfactants include silicone surfactants, such as Silwet copolymers, preferred Silwet copolymers include Silwet -8610, Silwet L-8600, Silwet L-77, Silwet L-7657, Silwet L- 7650, Silwet L-7607, Silwet L-7604, Silwet L-7600, Silwet L-7280 and mixtures thereof. Preferred for use herein is Silwet L-77. Other suitable wetting agents include organo amine surfactants, for example amine oxide surfactants. Preferably, the amine oxide contains an average of from 12 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, highly preferred herein being dodecyl dimethyl amine oxide, tetradecyl dimethyl amine oxide, hexadecyl dimethyl amine oxide and mixtures thereof. Highly preferred herein are hard surface cleaning compositions comprising mixed solvent systems based on organoamine solvents in combination with cosolvents acting as spreading auxiliaries. Also highly preferred from the viewpoint of optimum removal of baked-on polymerised soils are compositions comprising a solvent having a limited miscibility in water (herein referred to as a coupling solvent) preferably in combination with a fully-miscible solvent, both preferably at specific levels in composition. Thus in another aspect of the invention, there is provided a hard surface cleaning composition for removing cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware, the composition comprising from about 10% to about 40%, preferably from about 12% to about 20%) of organo solvent including from about 1% to about 15% of organoamine solvent and from about 7% to about 30% of solvent acting as spreading auxiliary and which includes at least about 3.5% of a water-miscible solvent and at least about 3.5% of a coupling solvent having limited miscibility in water. A water-miscible solvent herein is a solvent which is miscible with water in all proportions at 25°C. A coupling solvent with limited miscibility is a solvent with is miscible with water in some but not all proportions at 25°C. Preferably the solvent has a solubility in water at 25 °C of less than about 30 wt%, more preferably less than about 20 wt%. Preferably also the solubility of water in the solvent at 25°C is less than about 30 wt%, more preferably less than about 20 wt%. A preferred spreading auxiliary herein comprises a mixture of a fully water-miscible organic solvent and a coupling organic solvent having limited miscibility in water and wherein the ratio of water-miscible organic solvent to coupling organic solvent is in the range from about 4:1 to about 1:20, preferably from about 2:1 to about 1:6, more preferably from about 1.5:1 to about 1:3. Other suitable spreading auxiliaries comprise a wetting agent having a liquid surface tension of less than about 30 mN/m, preferably less than about 28 mN/m, more preferably less than about 26 mN/m and more preferably less than 24.5 mN/m. Preferably the wetting agent is an amine oxide. Highly preferred spreading auxiliaries comprise a mixture of the coupling solvent and the wetting agent. Thus, according to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a hard surface cleaning composition for removing cooked-, baked- or burnt-on soils from cookware and tableware, the composition comprising an organoamine solvent, a coupling solvent having limited miscibility in water and a wetting agent and wherein the composition has a liquid surface tension of less than about 26 mN/m and preferably less than about 24.5 mN/m. The compositions herein are further characterised by displaying surface tension lowering characteristics, which is believed is important for ensuring optimum soil removal performance on polymerised soils.

The compositions of the invention are characterized by excellent performance on polymerized grease and preferably the compositions of the present invention have a polymerised grease removal index of at least 25%, preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 75%. Polymerized grease removal index is a measure of how much soil is removed from a surface after treatment with the composition of the invention. The soiled substrates are soaked in the invention composition at ambient temperature for about 45 min or less, preferably for about 30 min or less and more preferably for about 20 min or less and then washed in a dishwasher without detergent or rinsing agent. The substrates are then dried and weighed and the soil removal is determined by gravimetric analysis. The soiled substrates are prepared as follows: Stainless steel coupons/slides are thoroughly cleaned with the product of the invention and rinsed well with water. The slides are placed in a 50°C room to facilitate drying, if needed. The coupons/slides are allowed to cool to room temperature (about half an hour). The coupons/slides are weighed. Canola Oil, is sprayed into a small beaker or tri-pour (100 mL beaker, 20-30 mL of Canola Oil). A one inch paint brush is dipped into the Canola Oil. The soaked brush is then rotated and pressed lightly against the side of the container 4-6 times for each side of the brush to remove excess Canola Oil. A thin layer of Canola Oil is painted onto the surface of the coupon/slide. Each slide is then stroked gently with a dry brush in order to ensure that only a thin coating of Canola Oil is applied (two even strokes should sufficiently remove excess). In this manner 0.1-0.2g of soil will be applied to the coupon/slide. The coupons/slides are arranged on a perfectly level cookie sheet or oven rack and placed in a preheated oven at 245°C. The slides/coupons are baked for 20 minutes. Coupons/slides are allowed to cool to room temperature (45 minutes). The cool coupons/slides are then weighed. It is a feature of the solvent-based compositions of the invention that they display excellent performance in direct application to soiled cookware and tableware. The organic solvent system includes at least one solvent component acting as soil swelling agent and desirably has a liquid surface tension of less than about 27 mN/m, preferably less than about 26 mN/m, more preferably less than about 25 mN/m. Furthermore, the organic solvent system preferably comprises a plurality of solvent components in levels such that the solvent system has an advancing contact angle on polymerised grease-coated glass substrate of less than that of corresponding compositions containing the individual components of the solvent system. Such solvent systems and compositions are formed to be optimum for the removal of baked-on soils having a high carbon content from cookware and tableware. The compositions are preferably in the form of a liquid or gel having a pH of greater than about 9, preferably greater than 10.5 and preferably greater than about 11 as measured at 25°C. Apart from the solvent parameters described above, the compositions of the invention should also meet certain rheological and other performance parameter including both the ability to be sprayed and the ability to cling to surfaces. For example, it is desirable that the product sprayed on a vertical stainless steel surface has a flow velocity less than about 1 cm s, preferably less than about 0.1 cm/s. For this purpose, the product is in the form of a shear thinning fluid having a shear index n (Herschel-Bulkey model) of from about 0 to about 0.8, preferably from about 0.3 to about 0.7, more preferably from about 0.4 to about 0.6.

Suitable thickening agents include polymers with a molecular weight from about 500,000 to about 10,000,000, more preferably from about 750,000 to about 4,000,000. The preferred cross-linked polycarboxylate polymer is preferably a carboxyvinyl polymer. Such compounds are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,798,053, issued on Jul. 2, 1957, to Brown. Methods for making carboxyvinyl polymers are also disclosed in Brown. Carboxyvinyl polymers are substantially insoluble in liquid, volatile organic hydrocarbons and are dimensionally stable on exposure to air. Other suitable thickening agents include inorganic clays (e.g. laponites, aluminium silicate, bentonite, fumed silica). The preferred clay thickening agent can be either naturally occurring or synthetic. Preferred synthetic clays include the synthetic smectite- type clay sold under the trademark Laponite by Southern Clay Products, Inc. Particularly useful are gel forming grades such as Laponite RD and sol forming grades such as Laponite RDS. Natural occurring clays include some smectite and attapulgite clays. Mixtures of clays and polymeric thickeners are also suitable for use herein.

Laponite has a layer structure which in dispersion in water, is in the form of disc-shaped crystals of about 1 nm thick and about 25 nm diameter. Small platelet size is valuable herein for providing a good sprayability, stability, rheology and cling properties as well as desirable aesthetic. Other types of thickeners which can be used in this composition include natural gums, such as xanthan gum, locust bean gum, guar gum, and the like. The cellulosic type thickeners: hydroxyethyl and hydroxymethyl cellulose (ETHOCEL and METHOCEL® available from Dow Chemical) can also be used. Natural gums seem to influence the size of the droplets when the composition is being sprayed. It has been found that droplets having an average equivalent geometric diameter from about 3 μm to about 10 μm, preferably from about 4 μm to about 7 μm, as measured using a TSI Aerosizer, help in odor reduction. Preferred natural gum for use herein is xanthan gum. Highly preferred herein from the viewpoint of sprayabihty, cling, stability, and soil penetration performance is a mixture of Laponite and xanthan gum. Additionally, Laponite/ xanthan gum mixtures help the aesthetics of the product and at the same time reduce the solvent odor. hi preferred embodiments the hard surface cleaning compositions comprise an organic solvent system including at least one solvent component acting as soil-swelling agent and wherein the organic solvent system is selected from alcohols, amines, esters, glycol ethers, glycols, terpenes and mixtures thereof, including at least one organoamine solvent component.

A problem generally associated with the use of organic solvents in cleaning compositions is that of solvent odor - an odor which many consumers do not like and which they perceive as "malodorous". Such compositions can be made more attractive to consumers by using a high concentration of perfumes. The addition of such high concentrations of perfumes can alter or reduce the overall offensive character of the compositions, but it often results in an undesirably overbearing perfume odor. Even when the high perfume concentrations adequately modify, hide or otherwise mask the composition's malodors, these high concentrations do not necessarily result in improved perfume substantivity or longevity, thus resulting in the recurrence of malodor after the perfume has volatilized. It has now been found that a select combination of perfume materials as defined herein can be incoφorated into the compositions of the invention to effectively reduce the intensity of or mask any malodors associated with the use of solvents in the present compositions. Thus according to another aspect, the present invention provides a hard surface cleaning composition comprising organoamine solvent as herein before described and a solvent odor masking perfume or perfume base. In general terms, the odor-masking perfume or perfume base comprises a mixture of volatile and non-volatile perfume materials wherein the level of non- volatile perfume materials (boiling point above 250°C at 1 atmosphere pressure) is preferably greater than about 20% by weight, i a preferred embodiment the perfume or perfume base comprises at least 0.001% by weight of an ionone or mixture of ionones inclusive of alpha, beta and gamma ionones. Preferred ionones are selected from gamma-Methyl Ionone, Alvanone extra, Irisia Base, Cassis Base 345-B and mixtures thereof. The perfume or perfume base may additionally comprise a musk. The musk preferably has a boiling point of more than about 250°C. Preferred musks are selected from Exaltolide Total, Habonolide and mixtures thereof. The masking perfume or perfume base can further comprise a high volatile perfume component or mixture of components having a boiling point of less than about 250°C. Preferred high volatile perfume components are selected from decyl aldehyde, benzaldehyde, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, allyl amyl glycolate, dihydromycenol and mixtures thereof. The composition can additionally comprise a cyclodextrin, in order to help control solvent malodor. Cyclodextrins suitable for use herein are those capable of selectively absorbing solvent malodor causing molecules without detrimentally affecting the odor masking or perfume molecules. Compositions for use herein comprise from about 0.1 to about 3%, preferably from about 0.5 to about 2% of cyclodextrin by weight of the composition. As used herein, the term "cyclodextrin" includes any of the known cyclodextrins such as unsubstituted cyclodextrins containing from six to twelve glucose units, especially, alpha- cyclodextrin, beta-cyclodextrin, gamma-cyclodextrin and/or their derivatives and/or mixtures thereof. The alpha-cyclodextrin consists of six glucose units, the beta- cyclodextrin consists of seven glucose units, and the gamma-cyclodextrin consists of eight glucose units arranged in a donut-shaped ring. The specific coupling and conformation of the glucose units give the cyclodextrins a rigid, conical molecular structure with a hollow interior of a specific volume. The "lining" of the internal cavity is formed by hydrogen atoms and glycosidic bridging oxygen atoms, therefore this surface is fairly hydrophobic. The unique shape and physical-chemical property of the cavity enable the cyclodextrin molecules to absorb (form inclusion complexes with) organic molecules or parts of organic molecules which can fit into the cavity. Malodor molecules can fit into the cavity. Preferred cyclodextrins are highly water-soluble such as, alpha-cyclodextrin and derivatives thereof, gamma-cyclodextrin and derivatives thereof, derivatised beta- cyclodextrins, and/or mixtures thereof. The derivatives of cyclodextrin consist mainly of molecules wherein some of the OH groups are converted to OR groups.
