Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel cleaning compositions that are substantially free of cocamide diethanolamine. In an aspect of the invention, the compositions utilize a surfactant system and coupling agents as a replacement for the rheology modifier cocamide diethanolamine. The combination of a surfactant system and coupling agents can be used as a replacement for traditional rheology modifiers and foaming agents which are under regulatory pressure while providing concentrated liquid cleaning compositions with a viscosity of 400 cps or less. In another aspect the invention relates to novel cleaning compositions such as pot and pan soaking compositions, dishwashing compositions, food and beverage foaming cleaners, vehicle cleaning and the like suitable for use in hard water, which can be solid or liquid. The invention further relates to methods of making these compositions, and to methods employing these compositions.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of cleaning a surface comprising:\n diluting a concentrated cleaning composition with water at a ratio between about 1:2 and about 1:250 of concentrated cleaning composition to water to form a use solution with a viscosity between about 25 cps and about 125 cps;\n wherein said concentrated cleaning composition comprises from about 5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a surfactant system comprising a linear alcohol ethoxylate, a semi-polar nonionic surfactant, betaine, and a sultaine; from about 0.01 wt. % to about 15 wt. % of a coupling agent; from about 0.01 wt. % to about 8 wt. % of a divalent ion; and from about 1 wt. % to about 50 wt. % of a humectant; wherein the linear alcohol ethoxylate is present in the composition from about 1 wt. % to about 15 wt. %; wherein the semi-polar nonionic surfactant is present in the composition from about 0.5 wt. % to about 25 wt. %; wherein the sultaine is in a concentration of about 4.5 wt. % to about 11 wt. % of the cleaning composition and comprises a coco cut or lauryl cut sultaine; wherein the composition has less than 0.5 wt. % diethanolamine; wherein the ratio of the sultaine to the linear alcohol ethoxylate is between about 1:11 and about 7:4, and wherein the ratio of the sultaine to the semi-polar nonionic surfactant is between about 3:1 and about 1:3; \n contacting a surface with said use solution; and rinsing the surface.
