Premoistened wipes for treating and/or cleaning a surface comprise the multi-layer substrate and a liquid composition impregnated into the multi-layer substrate, wherein the liquid composition comprises a surfactant system and/or a solvent system. Methods of treating and/or cleaning a surface comprise the step of contacting the surface with a premoistened wipe of the present invention.

Description: MULTI-LAYER SUBSTRATE FOR A PREMOISTENED WIPE CAPABLE OF CONTROLLED FLUID RELEASE TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to substrates capable of controlled fluid release that are suitable for incorporation in a premoistened wipe. The invention further relates to premoistened wipes comprising the substrates containing a liquid composition incorporated therein. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Premoistened wipes for cleaning surfaces are known in the art. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,954,642 discloses a textile fibrous structure suitable for cleaning purposes and impregnated with surface active agents, in which the textile fibrous structures are built up from water-insoluble high polymers with a content of carboxyl groups able to form salts, which are present substantially as free carboxyl groups, and the impregnation consists of at least one nonionic surface-active agent from the group of water-soluble alkylene oxide derivatives. However, such textile fibrous structures, when subjected to pressure, quickly releases the composition incorporated therein, which reduces the overall area able to be cleaned by the wipe, due to the earlier premature release of the cleaning fluid. Therefore, when the composition is release too quickly from the substrate, the cleaning wipe is only able to clean relatively small areas before running out of cleaning solution. Some developments have focused on providing a substrate for a premoistened wipe that will provide controlled release of fluid from the premoistened wipe. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,507,968 discloses a cleansing article that comprises a porous pad that includes a controlled detergent release composition comprising a polyacrylamide polymer and a detergent. The polyacrylamide polymer is a water swellable polymer. In use, the polyacrylamide polymer swells and slowly dissolves to provide a controlled release of the detergent incorporated therein. However, such polymers tend to cause filming and streaking problems, especially on hard surfaces. U.S. Patent No. 5,421,898 discloses an element for controlled release of a quaternary ammonium disinfectant in aqueous solution comprising a substrate coated with the residue of an aqueous composition of a certain water soluble polymer and a quaternary ammonium disinfectant. The water soluble polymer has a molecular weight of 85,000 to 186,000 and a degree of hydrolysis of 87 to 89 percent. The aqueous composition of the water soluble polymer and quat is hydrolysis of 87 to 89 percent. The aqueous composition of the water soluble polymer and quat is applied to the substrate and dried, leaving a residue on the substrate. The water soluble polymer binds the quat to the substrate and releases the quat when the substrate is wetted. Thus, the wipe disclosed is a dry wipe, as opposed to a premoistened wipe. Airlaid substrates have previously been utilized in premoistened wipes. Such airlaid substrates can exhibit some controlled fluid release properties. However, such substrates typically contain a binder material in order to bond the fibers of the substrate together. Binder materials can be undesireable because they can cause problems such as filming and streaking, especially on hard surfaces. Another potential problem with airlaid substrates that contain binders in premoistened wipes relates to the potential of the binder to decompose, depending on the liquid composition impregnated into the substrate, and thus cause the substrate to break apart over time. It has therefore been desired to develop a substrate for a premoistened wipe that is capable of controlled fluid release, without having to utilize materials such as water swellable polymers and the like, while minimizing filming and streaking, especially on hard surfaces. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present mvention encompasses multi-layer substrates that are suitable for use in a premoistened wipe capable of controlled fluid release for treating or cleaning surfaces. The multilayer substrates of the present invention generally comprise: (a) at least one reservoir layer; wherein a first reservoir layer has a basis weight of at least about 5 gsm and comprises: (i) from about 5% to about 100%, by weight of said first reservoir layer, of hydrophilic fibers; and (ii) from about 0% to about 95% by weight of said first reservoir layer, of hydrophobic fibers; wherein the total basis weight of said reservoir layer(s) is from about 10% to about 95% of the total basis weight of said multi-layer substrate; and (b) at least one surface contacting layer; wherein a first surface contacting layer has a basis weight of at least about 5 gsm and comprises: (i) from about 0% to about 95%, by weight of said first surface contacting layer, of hydrophilic fibers; and (ii) from about 5% to about 100%, by weight of said first surface contacting layer, of hydrophobic fibers; wherein the total basis weight of said surface contacting layer(s) is from about 10% to about 95%o of the total basis weight of said multi-layer substrate. The reservoir layer(s) and surface contact layer(s) have certain blends of hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers, as well as certain basis weights, in order to provide a substrate that is capable of controlled fluid release. The present invention further relates to premoistened wipes comprising the multi-layer substrates herein and a composition comprising a surfactant system, wherein the surfactant system comprises a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, and mixtures thereof. The present invention further relates to methods of treating or cleaning a surface, especially hard surfaces, with the premoistened wipes of the present invention.

SUBSTRATES The substrates of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in premoistened wipes. It has been found that the present substrates used in premoistened wipes are capable of controlled fluid release. Substrates, especially in premoistened wipes, that are capable of controlled fluid release provide several benefits that are important to consumers. For example, the wipe is able to clean larger surface areas because the cleaning solution is more efficiently distributed to the cleaning surface and is not unnecessarily wasted. This provides added value to the consumer. Another benefit of substrates for premoistened wipes capable of controlled fluid release is that the wipes do not feel as wet initially to the touch and, therefore, are aesthetically more pleasing to a consumer since it does not get a consumer's hands as wet while using the wipe for cleaning surfaces. An additional benefit relates to such premoistened wipes that are packaged in, for example, stacks and stored for a period of time. The lotion/fluid impregnated into the present substrates is able to be held at substantially a uniform level, so that the wipes maintain the correct amount of lotion in each wipe, even under forces such as gravity over time. It has been found that a multi-layer substrate comprising a reservoir layer and a surface contact layer, wherein the reservoir layer and surface contact layer have certain blends of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers, can exhibit improved controlled fluid release. Also, the layers can have differing basis weights to further improve the controlled fluid release properties of the substrate. The present substrates comprise a reservoir layer and at least one surface contacting layer, preferably at least two surface contacting layers. The reservoir and surface contacting layers have specific fiber blends and basis weights relatively to one another that result in a substrate suitable for use in premoistened wipes having controlled fluid release properties. This controlled fluid release is achieved preferably without the use of water swellable polymers. Therefore, the substrates and premoistened wipes of the present invention are preferably essentially free of, or free of, water swellable polymers. In contrast to using such polymers, controlled fluid release herein is achieved by carefully selecting the hydrophilic/hydrophobic fiber blends and basis weights of the layers of the multi-layer substrates of the present invention. Therefore, the substrates of the present invention, when used in premoistened wipes, are much more efficient in regard to fluid delivery and thus allow a consumer to maximize the use of the lotion impregnated on such substrates. The multi-layer substrates herein relate to substrates with layers having certain blends of hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers. As used herein, the term "hydrophilic" describes fibers, or surfaces of fibers, that are wettable by aqueous fluids (e.g., aqueous body fluids) deposited on these fibers. Hydrophilicity and wettability are typically defined in terms of contact angle and the surface tension of the fluids and solids involved. This is discussed in detail in the American Chemical Society publication entitled Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion, edited by Robert F. Gould (Copyright 1964). A fiber, or surface of a fiber, is said to be wetted by a fluid (i.e., hydrophilic) when either the contact angle between the fluid and the fiber, or its surface, is less than 90°, or when the fluid tends to spread spontaneously across the surface of the fiber, both conditions normally co-existing. Conversely, a fiber or surface is considered to be hydrophobic if the contact angle is greater than 90° and the fluid does not spread spontaneously across the surface of the fiber. Suitable hydrophilic fibers for use in the present invention include cellulosic fibers, modified cellulosic fibers, cotton, reconstituted or regenerated cellulosic fibers (e.g. rayon and lyocell fibers), hydrophilic nylon fibers (HYDROFIL®), polylactic acid fibers, and the like. Suitable hydrophilic fibers can also be obtained by hydrophilizing hydrophobic fibers, such as surfactant-treated or silica-treated thermoplastic fibers derived from, for example, polyolefins. Other hydrophilic fibers that can be used in the present substrates include "chemically stiffened cellulosic fibers", which are described in detail in U.S. Patent No. 5,855,572, which is incorporated herein by reference. Other hydrophilic fibers include "capillary channel fibers" such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,200,248, to Thompson et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 5,268,229, to Phillips et al, both of which are incorporated by reference herein. Suitable hydrophobic fibers utilized in the layers of the present substrates include, for example, synthetic fibers comprised of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate ("PET"), nylon, bicomponent fibers, or blends thereof. A. RESERVOIR LAYER The reservoir layer of the present substrate is designed to store a composition to be applied to a given surface, until it is desired to treat the surface. The reservoir layer is designed to have the ability to deliver the right amount of lotion (i.e. cleaning solution or composition) to the surface being treated or cleaned. If too much lotion is released, the lotion will be wasted and the premoistened wipe will not last long before running out of lotion. If too much lotion remains in the reservoir layer, then the lotion is not available to act upon the treated surface, thus wasting lotion since it is not being utilized to treat the surface. The reservoir layer therefore must be carefully designed to deliver an appropriate amount of composition to the surface to be treated. As previously discussed, the layers of the multi-layer substrates herein comprise differing blends of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers. It has been found that the hydrophilic :hydrophobic fiber blend of the reservoir layer (and also the surface contact layer(s)) can be balanced in order to result in a substrate that is useful in premoistened wipes capable of controlled fluid release. The reservoir layer herein typically comprises at least about 5%, preferably at least about 25%, and more preferably at least about 40%, by weight of the reservoir layer, of hydrophilic fibers; and typically less than about 100%, preferably less than about 80%, and more preferably less than about 50%, by weight of the reservoir layer, of hydrophilic fibers. The reservoir layer herein typically further comprises at least about 0%, preferably at least about 20%, and more preferably at least about 50%, by weight of the reservoir layer, of hydrophobic fibers; and typically less than about 95%, preferably less than about 75%, and more preferably less than about 60%, by weight of the reservoir layer, of hydrophobic fibers. The reservoir layer herein will also generally have a basis weight of at least about 5 grams per square meter ("gsm"), preferably at least about 15 gsm, and more preferably at least about 25 gsm. The basis weight of the reservoir layer will typically account for at least 10%, preferably at least about 20%, and more preferably at least about 35% of the total basis weight of the present substrate; and typically less than about 95%, preferably less than about 80%, and more preferably less than about 60% of the total basis weight of the present substrate. The density of the j reservoir layer will typically be from about 0.02 grams per cubic centimeter ("g/cc") to about 0.4 g cc, preferably from about 0.05 g/cc to about 0.2 g/cc, and more preferably from about 0.075 g/cc to about 0J5 g/cc. B. SURFACE CONTACT LAYER The surface contact layer is designed to complement the reservoir layer in terms of delivering the lotion to the surface to be treated. The surface contact layer also has capacity to store a composition, such as in a premoistened wipe, although generally having a lesser fluid- holding capacity than the reservoir layer. Also, the surface contacting layer can provide other benefits such as enhancing the soil cleaning ability of the substrate and the dust, dirt, and/or hair pick-up of the substrates, and the premoistened wipes that incorporate the present substrates. The surface contact layer is designed with a certain blend of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibers such that, when combined with the reservoir layer to form a multi-layer substrate, the substrate is capable of controlled fluid release. The surface contact layer herein typically comprises at least about 0%, preferably at least about 10%, and more preferably at least about 20%, by weight of the surface contact layer, of hydrophilic fibers; and typically less than about 95%, preferably less than about 75%, and more preferably less than about 50%, by weight of the surface contact layer, of hydrophilic fibers. The surface contact layer herein typically further comprises at least about 5%, preferably at least about 25%, and more preferably at least about 50%, by weight of the surface contact layer, of hydrophobic fibers; and typically less than about 100%, preferably less than about 90%, and more preferably less than about 80%, by weight of the surface contact layer, of hydrophobic fibers. The surface contact layer herein will also generally have a basis weight of at least about 5 gsm, preferably at least about 10 gsm, and more preferably at least about 20 gsm. The basis weight of the surface contact layer will typically account for at least 10%, preferably at least about 20%, and more preferably at least about 35% of the total basis weight of the present substrate; and typically less than about 95%, preferably less than about 80%, and more preferably less than about 60% of the total basis weight of the present substrate. The density of the surface contact layer will typically be from about 0.02 g/cc to about 0.4 g/cc, preferably from about 0.05 g/cc to about 0.2 g/cc, and more preferably from about 0.075 g/cc to about 0J5 g/cc. In a preferred embodiment, the multi-layer substrate of the present invention will comprise a first surface contact layer, a second surface contact layer, and a reservoir layer, wherein the reservoir layer is positioned between the first and second surface contact layers. Such a substrate thus comprises three layers. Preferably, such a multi-layer substrate is formed by thermal bonding together the three layers. The multi-layer substrates of the present invention can encompass a wide range of total basis weight. In preferred embodiments, the ratio of the basis weight of the reservoir layer to the basis weight of surface contacting layer(s) will typically range from about 20:1 to about 1:20, preferably from about 5:1 to about 1:5, and more preferably from about 1.5:1 to about 1:1.5. The substrates herein can be aperatured; however, the substrates are preferably non- apertured, especially if they are used in premoistened wipes. The multi-layer substrates herein are comprised of at least two layers. Therefore, the present invention encompasses substrates having two layers, three layers, four layers, and so on. Preferably, the multi-layer substrate consists of three layers. A variety of web forming technologies known in the art can be utilized to manufacture the reservoir and surface contact layers of the present substrates. Examples of suitable web forming processes include air laid, carded, cross lapped, spunbond, meltblown, wet laid, extruded, cast film, and combinations thereof. Preferably, the web forming technology used to manufacture the reservoir and surface contact layers herein is conventional carding technology. Thus the layers are preferably made of carded fibers. In terms of combining the various layers herein to form the multi-layer substrate of the present invention, a variety of bonding technologies known in the art can be used to form the multi-layer substrates of the present invention. Examples of suitable bonding technologies include mechanically bonded, stitch bonded, needlepunched, needlefelted, spunlaced, jetlaced, hydroentangled, apertured, chemically bonded (resin, latex, powder), saturated, print bonded, spray bonded, foam bonded, thermal bonded, point bonded, ultrasonically welded, thermal bonded bicomponent fiber compositions, and combinations thereof. Preferably, the bonding technology utilized herein to combine the various layers of the present multi-layer substrate is thermal bonding. More preferably, the bonding technology is point thermal bonding, which results in an embossed pattern in the resulting multi-layer substrate. A preferred pattern is a 7- point pattern. Preferably, the web forming technologies and bonding technologies utilized herein do not include binding materials that are incompatible with the compositions herein. Binding materials that are incompatible tend to decompose, dissolve, or disintegrate in the presence of the compositions herein. Thus the substrates herein preferably are essentially free of, or free of, such binders or binding agents. Examples of such binders include copolymers and latex-blends such as styrene-butadiene, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, ethyl vinyl acetate, and the like. Such binders can be undesirable, especially in premoistened wipes, because they can cause filming and streaking problems on treated surfaces and can be subject to degradation over time (depending on the composition impregnated in the substrate), resulting in a weakening of the substrate of the premoistened wipe. It is preferred that the various layers herein are bonded to one another via patterned thermal bonding. Patterned thermal bonding refers to a process of bonding a nonwoven web in a pattern by the application of heat and pressure. Pattern bonding typically is carded out at a temperature in a range of from about 80°C to about 180°C and a pressure in a range of from about 150 to about 1,000 pounds per linear inch (from about 59 to about 178 kg/cm). The pattern employed typically will have from about 10 to about 250 bonds/inch 2 (1-40 bonds/cm 2 ) covering from about 5 to about 30 percent of the wipe surface area. Such pattern bonding is accomplished in accordance with known procedures. See, for example, U.S. Design Pat. No. 239,566 to Nogt, U.S. Design Pat. No. 264,512 to Rogers, U.S. Pat. No. 3,855,046 to Hansen et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 4,493,868, supra, for illustrations of bonding patterns and a discussion of bonding procedures, which patents are incorporated herein by reference. Preferred Multi-Layer Substrate A preferred multi-layer substrate of the present invention is shown in FIGS, la and lb. This preferred substrate 100 is a carded thermal bonded nonwoven substrate comprising three carded fiber layers (two surface contact layers 110 and one reservoir layer 115, positioned between the two surface contact layers 110) thermally bonded together with a 7-point pattern and a total basis weight of 70 gsm. The overall fiber composition of this preferred substrate is about 52% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 denier per filament ("dpf ), 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 31% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099), and about 18% PET (6.0 dpf, 50mm, Wellman, Inc. Type 204). Average caliper for the composite web substrate is about 0.63 mm and it has a density of 0J08 g/cm 3 . The multi-layer substrate 100 is thermally bonded with a plurality of thermal point bonds 105. The thermal point bonds 105 form a continuous 7-point pattern. FIG. lb depicts a cross- sectional view of the multi-layer substrate 100 shown in FIG. la. The two surface contact layers 110 are made of a homogenous blend of about 60%> hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 10% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc.

The reservoir layer 115, positioned between the two surface contact layers 110, is made of a homogenous blend of about 40% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193) and about 60% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099) with a basis weight of about 29.0 gsm. The preferred multi-layer substrate shown in FIGS, la and lb is made according to the following process. The reservoir layer 115 is made by blending (by weight) about 40% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193) and about 60%) viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099). These blends are fed into two cards (about 14.5 gsm per card) to form a reservoir layer 115 with an overall basis weight of about 29.0 gsm. After cardmg, the reservoir layer 115 is embossed with a continuous 7-point pattern at about 300°F and about 540 pounds per square inch ("psi") and wound for later use in forming the multi-layer substrate 100. The two surface contact layers 110 are made by blending (by weight) of about 60% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 10% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099), and about 30% PET (6.0 dpf, 50mm, Wellman, Inc. Type 204). These blends are fed into two cards (top and bottom, about 20.5 gsm per card). In forming the multi-layer substrate 100: (1) the bottom carded fiber layer is placed on a moving conveyor, (2) the pre-made center reservoir layer is unwound on top of the bottom carded fiber layer, and (3) the top carded fiber layer is placed on top of the preformed center web and the bottom carded fiber layer. These three fibrous web layers are thermally embossed together with a continuous 7-point pattern at about 300°F and about 540 psi. The resultant web formed has an average basis weight of about 70 gsm, an average caliper of about 0.63 mm, and an average density of about 0J08 g/cm 3 . II.

For example, C 8 -Ci6 alkyl sulfate acts by disorganizing the bacteria cell membrane, inhibiting enzymatic activities, interrupting the cellular transport and/or denaturing cellular proteins. Indeed, it is speculated that the improved disinfecting performance further associated with the addition of an anionic surfactant, especially a C 8 -Cι 6 alkyl sulfonate, a C 8 -Cι 6 alkyl sulfate and/or a C 8 -Cι 6 alkyl alkoxylated sulfate, in a composition according to the present invention, is likely due to multiple mode of attack of said surfactant agamst the bacteria.

NONIONIC SURFACTANTS Suitable nonionic surfactants for use herein are fatty alcohol ethoxylates and/or propoxylates which are commercially available with a variety of fatty alcohol chain lengths and a variety of ethoxylation degrees. Indeed, the HLB values of such alkoxylated nonionic surfactants depend essentially on the chain length of the fatty alcohol, the nature of the alkoxylation and the degree of alkoxylation. Surfactant catalogues are available which list a number of surfactants, including nonionics, together with their respective HLB values. Preferred nonionic surfactants for one embodiment are those having an average HLB from 8 to 20, more preferably from 10 to 18, most preferably from 11 to 16.

Ethoxy/butoxylated, ethoxy/propoxylated, butoxy/propoxylated and ethoxy/butoxy/propoxylated nonionic surfactants may also be used herein. Preferred alkoxylated nonionic surfactants are ethoxylated nonionic surfactants. Suitable alkylpolysaccharides for use herein are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,565,647, Llenado, issued Jan. 21, 1986, having a hydrophobic group containing from about 6 to about 30 carbon atoms, preferably from about 10 to about 16 carbon atoms and a polysaccharide, e.g., a polyglycoside, hydrophilic group. For acidic or alkaline cleaning compositions/solutions suitable for use in no-rinse methods, the preferred alkyl polysaccharide preferably comprises a broad distribution of chain lengths, as these provide the best combination of wetting, cleaning, and low residue upon drying. This "broad distribution" is defined by at least about 50% of the chainlength mixture comprising from about 10 carbon atoms to about 16 carbon atoms. Preferably, the alkyl group of the alkyl polysaccharide consists of a mixtures of chainlength, preferably from about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms, more preferably from about 8 to about 16 carbon atoms, and hydrophilic group containing from about one to about 1.5 saccharide, preferably glucoside, groups per molecule. This "broad chainlength distribution" is defined by at least about 50% of the chainlength mixture comprising from about 10 carbon atoms to about 16 carbon atoms. A broad mixture of chain lengths, particularly C 8 -Cι 6 , is highly desirable relative to narrower range chain length mixtures, and particularly versus lower (i.e., Cg-Cio or C 8 -Cι 2 ) chainlength alkyl polyglucoside mixtures. It is also found that the preferred C 8 -i 6 alkyl polyglucoside provides much improved perfume solubility versus lower and narrower chainlength alkyl polyglucosides, as well as other preferred surfactants, including the C 8 -Cι 4 alkyl ethoxylates. Any reducing saccharide containing 5 or 6 carbon atoms can be used, e.g., glucose, galactose and galactosyl moieties can be substituted for the glucosyl moieties, (optionally the hydrophobic group is attached at the 2-, 3-, 4-, etc. positions thus giving a glucose or galactose as opposed to a glucoside or galactoside.) The intersaccharide bonds can be, e.g., between the one position of the additional saccharide units and the 2-, 3-, 4-, and/or 6- positions on the preceding saccharide units. The glycosyl is preferably derived from glucose. Optionally, and less desirably, there can be a polyalkyleneoxide chain joining the hydrophobic moiety and the polysaccharide moiety. The preferred alkyleneoxide is ethylene oxide. Typical hydrophobic groups include alkyl groups, either saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched containing from 8 to 18, preferably from 10 to 16, carbon atoms. Preferably, the alkyl group is a straight-chain saturated alkyl group. The alkyl group can contain up to about 3 hydroxyl groups and/or the polyalkyleneoxide chain can contain up to about 10, preferably less than 5, alkyleneoxide moieties. Suitable alkyl polysaccharides are octyl, nonyldecyl, undecyldodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, and octadecyl, di-, tri-, terra-, penta-, and hexaglucosides and/ or galatoses. Suitable mixtures include coconut alkyl, di-, tri-, terra-, and pentaglucosides and tallow alkyl terra-, penta- and hexaglucosides. To prepare these compounds, the alcohol or alkylpolyethoxy alcohol is formed first and then reacted with glucose, or a source of glucose, to form the glucoside (attachment at the 1- position). The additional glycosyl units can then be attached between their 1 -position and the preceding glycosyl units 2-,3-, 4- and/or 6-position, preferably predominantly the 2-position. In the alkyl polyglycosides, the alkyl moieties can be derived from the usual sources like fats, oils or chemically produced alcohols while their sugar moieties are created from hydrolyzed polysaccharides. Alkyl polyglycosides are the condensation product of fatty alcohol and sugars like glucose with the number of glucose units defining the relative hydrophilicity. As discussed above, the sugar units can additionally be alkoxylated either before or after reaction with the fatty alcohols. Such alkyl polyglycosides are described in detail in WO 86/05199 for example. Technical alkyl polyglycosides are generally not molecularly uniform products, but represent mixtures of alkyl groups and mixtures of monosaccharides and different oligosaccharides. Alkyl polyglycosides (also sometimes referred to as "APG's") are preferred for the purposes of the invention since they provide additional improvement in surface appearance relative to other surfactants. The glycoside moieties are preferably glucose moieties. The alkyl substituent is preferably a saturated or unsaturated alkyl moiety containing from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, preferably from about 8 to about 10 carbon atoms or a mixture of such alkyl moieties. C 8 - Ciβ alkyl polyglucosides are commercially available (e.g., Simusol® surfactants from Seppic Corporation, 75 Quai d'Orsay, 75321 Paris, Cedex 7, France, and Glucopon®425 available from Henkel. However, it has been found that purity of the alkyl polyglucoside can also impact performance, particularly end result for certain applications, including daily shower product technology. In the present invention, the preferred alkyl polyglucosides are those which have been purified enough for use in personal cleansing. Most preferred are "cosmetic grade" alkyl polyglucosides, particularly C 8 to Ciβ alkyl polyglucosides, such as Plantaren 2000®, Plantaren 2000 N®, and Plantaren 2000 N UP®, available from Henkel Corporation (Postfach 101100, D 40191 Dusseldorf, Germany). iii.

Suitable classes include dialkylperoxides, diacylperoxides, preformed percarboxylic acids, organic and inorganic peroxides and/or hydroperoxides. The most preferred peroxygen bleach is hydrogen peroxide. The presence of said peroxygen bleach especially hydrogen peroxide, persulfate and the like, in the compositions according to the present invention can contribute to disinfection properties of said compositions. Indeed, said peroxygen bleach may attack the vital function of the micro-organism cells, for example, it may inhibit the assembling of ribosomes units within the cytoplasm of the microorganisms cells. Also said peroxygen bleach like hydrogen peroxide, is an oxidiser that generates hydroxyl free radicals which attack proteins and nucleic acids. Furthermore, the presence of said peroxygen bleach, especially hydrogen peroxide, provides strong stain removal benefits which are particularly noticeable for example in laundry and hard surfaces applications. Typically, peroxygen bleach or a mixture thereof is present in the compositions according to the present invention at a level of at least 0.01% by weight of the total composition, preferably from 0.1% to 15%), and more preferably from 1% to 10%. ii. ESSENTIAL OILS Another preferred component of the compositions of the present invention is an antimicrobial essential oil or an active thereof, or a mixture thereof. Suitable antimicrobial essential oils to be used herein are those essential oils which exhibit antimicrobial activity. By "actives of essential oils", it is meant herein any ingredient of essential oils or natural extracts that exhibit antimicrobial activity. It is speculated that said antimicrobial essential oils and actives thereof act as proteins denaturing agents. Also said antimicrobial oils and actives thereof are compounds which contribute to the safety profile of a composition comprising them when it is used to disinfect any surface. A further advantage of said antimicrobial oils and actives thereof is that they impart pleasant odor to a composition comprising them without the need of adding a perfume. Such antimicrobial essential oils include, but are not limited to, those obtained from thyme, lemongrass, citrus, lemons, oranges, anise, clove, aniseed, pine, cinnamon, geranium, roses, mint, lavender, citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint, camphor, ajowan, sandalwood, rosmarin, vervain, fleagrass, lemongrass, ratanhiae, cedar, origanum, cypressus, propolis extracts and mixtures thereof. Preferred antimicrobial essential oils to be used herein are thyme oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, geranium oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, citronella oil, ajowan oil, mint oil, origanum oil, propolis, cypressus oil cedar , garlic extract or mixtures thereof. Actives of essential oils to be used herein include, but are not limited to, thymol (present for example in thyme, ajowan), eugenol (present for example in cinnamon and clove), menthol (present for example in mint), geraniol (present for example in geranium and rose, citronella), verbenone (present for example in vervain), eucalyptol and pinocarvone (present in eucalyptus), cedrol (present for example in cedar), anethol (present for example in anise), carvacrol, hinokitiol, berberine, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, methyl salicylic acid, methyl salycilate, teφineol, limonene and mixtures thereof. Preferred actives of essential oils to be used herein are thymol, eugenol, verbenone, eucalyptol, teφineol, cinnamic acid, methyl salicylic acid, limonene, geraniol, ajolene or mixtures thereof. Thymol may be commercially available for example from Aldrich, eugenol may be commercially available for example from Sigma, Systems - Bioindustries (SBI) - Manheimer Inc. Typically, the antimicrobial essential oil or active thereof or mixture thereof is present in the composition at a level of at least 0.001% by weight of the total composition, preferably from 0.006% to 10%, more preferably from 0.01% to 8% and most preferably of from 0.03% to 3%. It has now been found that combining said antimicrobial essential oil or an active thereof or a mixture thereof with a peroxygen bleach, in a composition, delivers not only excellent immediate disinfecting properties to the surfaces treated with said composition, but also long lasting disinfecting properties. Indeed, it is speculated that peroxygen bleach and said essential oils/actives adsorb on a surface having been treated with said composition and thus reduce or even prevent the contamination of microorganisms over time, typically up to 48 hours after the surface has been treated with said composition, thereby delivering long lasting disinfection. In other words, it is speculated that a microfilm of said active ingredients is deposited on the surface treated with said compositions allowing protection against microorganisms recontamination overtime. Advantageously, this long lasting disinfection benefits is obtained with the compositions of the present invention comprising peroxygen bleach and antimicrobial essential oils/actives even when used under highly diluted conditions, i.e., up to dilution levels of from 1:100 (compositio water).

DESORPTION UNDER PRESSURE TEST METHOD The amount of fluid released ("desorbed") by a premoistened wipe comprising a substrate and a cleaning composition when subjected to pressure (or a force) is measured according to the Desoφtion Under Pressure Test Method. The test method is carried out as follows. The Desoφtion Under Pressure Test Method utilizes an apparatus as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2. The apparatus 200 contains the following components: three Plexiglass sheets 205 (127 mm X 127 mm X 6.4 mm); metal disk weights 210 (76.2 mm diameter) weighing about 227 grams, about 455 grams, and about 906 grams; a standard reference absorbent core material 215 (the standard reference absorbent core material 215 is a single 102 mm X 102 mm piece of Ahlstrom No. 989 filter paper available from Ahlstrom Filtration, P.O. Box A, Mr. Holly Springs, Pa.), and a pre-moistened wipe test sample 220 (76.2 mm diameter). One of the Plexiglass sheets 207 is used as a weight (about 115 grams) for determining the amount of fluid desorbed from the test sample 220 of interest. A combination of metal disk weight(s) 210 and Plexiglass sheet(s) 207 is used to obtain the desired applied pressure load. In the Desoφtion Under Pressure Test Method, the substrate of the test sample 220 is premoistened to a specific level (i.e., X-Load which is grams of fluid per gram of dry fiber in wipe) with a liquid composition according to Composition H, infra. The premoistened wipe test sample 220 is placed and centered on top of the standard reference absorbent core material 215. A Plexiglass sheet 207 with the appropriate amount of metal disk weights 210 are placed (centered) on top of the premoistened wipe test sample 220. After about 30 seconds, the top Plexiglass sheet 207 and the associated metal disk weights 210 are removed. The premoistened wipe test sample 220 is weighed to determine the amount of fluid released ("desorbed"). The amount of desoφtion (or lotion loss) is expressed in X-Load (i.e., grams of fluid loss per gram of dry fiber in wipe). Test results are presented in a graph created by plotting lotion loss ("X-Load") vs. Pressure (psi). The graphs presented herein cover initial lotion X-Load factors of 2.2X and 3.2X (i.e., the premoistened wipe test sample contains liquid composition at 2.2 and 3.2 times the dry fiber weight of the wipe). The applied pressure loads tested range from about 0.03 to about 0.46 psi. All of the documents and references referred to herein are incoφorated by reference, unless otherwise specified. All parts, ratios, and percentages herein, in the Specification, Examples, and Claims, are by weight and all numerical limits are used with the normal degree of accuracy afforded by the art, unless otherwise specified.

The following examples, Substrate A and Substrate B, are non-limiting examples of substrates according to the present invention. The controlled fluid release performance of Substrate A and Substrate B are tested against Comparative Substrate C and Comparative Substrate D according to the Desoφtion Under Pressure Test Method described in Section V, supra. The results show that Substrate A and Substrate B have much better controlled fluid release performance than Comparative Substrate C. The results further show that Substrate A and Substrate B have controlled fluid release performance similar to that of Comparative Substrate D, which is an airlaid substrate containing a binder material. Substrate A Substrate A is a multi-layer substrate as shown in FIGS, la and lb and described in Section I, supra. Substrate B Substrate B is a 70 gsm carded thermal bonded nonwoven substrate consisting of three carded fiber layers (two surface contact layers and one reservoir layer) thermal bonded together with a 7-point pattern. The overall fiber composition is about 58% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 25% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099), and about 18% PET (6.0 dpf, 50mm, Wellman, Inc. Type 204). The two surface contact layers are made of a homogenous blend of about 60% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 10% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099), and about 30% PET (6.0 dpf, 50mm, Wellman, Inc. Type 204) with a basis weight of about 20.5 gsm per layer. The reservoir layer is made of a homogenous blend of about 55% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193) and about 45%o viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099 with a basis weight of about 29.0 gsm. Substrate B is made according to the following process. The reservoir layer is made by blending (by weight) about 55% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193) and about 45% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099). These blends are fed into two cards (about 14.5 gsm per card) to form a reservoir layer with an overall basis weight of about 29.0 gsm. After carding, the reservoir layer was embossed with a continuous 7-point pattern at about 300°F and about 540 psi and wound for later use in forming the multi-layer substrate. The two surface contact layers of Substrate B are made by blending (by weight) of about 60% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 10%) viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099), and about 30% PET (6.0 dpf, 50mm, Wellman, Inc. Type 204). These blends are fed into two cards (top and bottom, about 20.5 gsm per card). In forming the multi-layer substrate (Substrate B): (1) the bottom carded fiber surface contact layer is placed on a moving conveyor, (2) the pre-made center reservoir layer is unwound on top of the bottom carded fiber surface contact layer, and (3) the top carded fiber surface contact layer is placed on top of the pre-formed center reservoir layer and the bottom carded fiber layer. These three fibrous web layers are thermally embossed together with a continuous 7-point pattern at about 300°F and about 540 psi. The resultant Substrate B has an average basis weight of about 70 gsm. Comparative Substrate C Comparative Substrate C is a 70 gsm carded thermal bonded nonwoven substrate made of a homogenous blend of about 50% hydrophilic polypropylene (2.2 dpf, 38 mm length, FiberVisions Americas Type 193), about 20% viscose rayon (1.5 dpf, 40mm length, Acordis Cellulosic Fibers, Inc. T-1099), and about 30% PET (6.0 dpf, 50mm, Wellman, Inc. Type 204) with a continuous 7-point pattern embossed pattern. Comparative Substrate C is made according to the following process. Hydrophilic polypropylene, viscose rayon, and polyester fibers are blended together at about 50%, about 20%, and about 30% by weight and then carded. Three cards (individual card basis weight of about 23.3 gsm) are used to form a homogenous composite web (at 25 meters/min) with a total basis weight of about 70 gsm. After carding, the homogenous composite web is thermally embossed (about 300 °F and about 540 psi) with a continuous 7-point pattern embossed pattern. The resultant web has a basis weight of about 70 gsm. Comparative Substrate D Comparative Subsfrate D is a 73 gsm air laid substrate made of a homogenous blend of about 73% wood pulp (Weyherhaeuser NF405), about 15% polyester (DuPont 612W), and about 12% Cymel Binder. The web has an average caliper of 1J2 mm and average density of about 0.065g/cm 3 . DESORPTION UNDER PRESSURE TEST #1 Substrate B and Comparative Substrates C and D are tested according to the Desoφtion Under Pressure Test Method. The substrates are prepared by loading Composition H (see supra) onto each substrate at a loading factor of 2.2X. FIG. 3 is a graph of the results of the Desoφtion Under Pressure test for Substrate B (denoted "FFC-C"), Comparative Substrate C (denoted "15266-01"), and Comparative Substrate D (denoted "Air Laid"). As can be seen in the graph of FIG. 3, Substrate B (which is a multi-layer substrate of the present invention) exhibited much more controlled release of the liquid composition than Comparative Subsfrate C (which is a homogeneous web, instead of a multi-layer web). Also, as can be seen in the graph of FIG. 3, Comparative Substrate D, which is a homogeneous fiber blend airlaid material, also exhibited excellent controlled fluid release properties, however, such substrate contains a binder material that can negatively impact filming and streaking, especially of hard surfaces. DESORPTION UNDER PRESSURE TEST #2 Substrates A and B, and Comparative Substrates C and D, are tested according to the Desoφtion Under Pressure Test Method. The substrates are prepared by loading Composition H (see supra) onto each substrate at a loading factor of 3.2X. FIG. 4 is a graph of the results of the Desoφtion Under Pressure test for Substrate A (denoted "FFC-D1"), Substrate B (denoted "FFC- C"), Comparative Substrate C (denoted "15266-01"), and Comparative Substrate D (denoted "Air Laid"). As can be seen in the graph of FIG. 4, Substrates A and B (which are multi-layer subsfrates of the present invention) exhibited much more controlled release of the liquid composition than Comparative Substrate C (which is a homogeneous web, instead of a multi-layer web). Also, as can be seen in the graph of FIG. 4, Comparative Substrate D, which is a homogeneous fiber blend airlaid material, also exhibited excellent controlled fluid release properties, however, such subsfrate contains a binder material that can negatively impact filming and streaking, especially of hard surfaces.
