Abstract:
Methods and compositions for biofilm remediation are disclosed. Biofilm is reduced and removed from soiled surfaces by providing to a surface in need an effective amount of a composition comprising a biocidal surfactant and at least one organic solvent. According to the invention, the biofilm remediation compositions reduce and remove biofilm formation by administering a one-step cleaner and disinfectant. The biofilm remediation compositions are stable and effective in concentrated and diluted ready-to-use formulations comprising an anionic sulfated or sulfonated surfactant that is not an organocarboxylic acid, a sparingly soluble organic solvent and optionally a soluble organic solvent.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of biofilm remediation from a surface comprising:\n contacting a biofilm on the surface with a biocidal composition comprising\n from about 1 to about 30 wt-% of an anionic surfactant, wherein the anionic surfactant excludes short chain (C1-C5) organocarboxylic acid and is a sulfonated acid; \n from about 5 to about 25 wt-% of a soluble organic solvent; and \n from about 10 to about 40 wt-% of a sparingly soluble organic solvent; \n wherein the ratio of said soluble organic solvent to said sparingly soluble organic solvent is between about 10:1 and about 1:10 by weight percent; \n wherein said sparingly soluble organic solvent is soluble in the soluble organic solvent to an extent of less than about 20 wt-%; \n wherein the biocidal composition has a pH of less than about 3.5; \n wherein the biofilm comprises an extracellular matrix comprising polysaccharides and microbes.
