Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily chemical household cleaning, and in particular to an environmentally friendly household cleaning composition that achieves rapid drying and leaves no watermarks or residue. Background Technology

[0002] Hard surfaces in the home environment include frequently touched areas such as kitchen countertops, bathroom tiles, flooring, glass doors and windows, metal appliances, and plastic laminates. During daily use, these surfaces continuously accumulate complex contaminants such as grease, limescale, food residue, dust, and microorganisms, becoming a key factor restricting the quality of indoor hygiene. Especially with the evolution of modern living spaces towards open layouts and multifunctional designs, the frequency of cleaning and the difficulty of maintaining hard surfaces have increased exponentially, placing more stringent demands on the efficiency of cleaning technologies, the safety of substrates, and environmental friendliness.

[0003] The materials used in hard surfaces for home furnishings are highly diverse, and the physicochemical properties of different substrates determine their tolerance thresholds to cleaning media and methods of cleaning. For example, glass and mirror substrates require high optical performance after cleaning, demanding high transparency with zero streaks and no scratches; plastic laminates (such as cabinet finishes and furniture countertops) are highly dependent on the chemical compatibility of cleaning agents, and must be protected against fading, swelling, and deformation caused by surfactants or solvents; PVC and other resilient flooring require careful attention to prevent the migration and precipitation of plasticizers during cleaning, which could damage the material's original flexible mechanical properties. In addition, various coated surfaces (such as lacquered furniture and powder-coated appliances) are particularly sensitive to chemical corrosion, and improper cleaning can easily lead to coating peeling, discoloration, and irreversible loss of gloss.

[0004] Given the heterogeneity of the aforementioned material properties and the complexity of cleaning needs, the development of a broad-spectrum household cleaning composition that combines gentleness and high efficiency is particularly urgent. An ideal cleaning system should not only exhibit excellent dirt removal capabilities on various hard surface substrates, but also possess low-foaming and quick-drying rheological properties, thereby achieving deep cleaning while effectively avoiding watermarks and chemical residues, achieving the maintenance goal of "clean and streak-free". Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly household cleaning composition that achieves rapid drying and leaves no watermark residue.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A household cleaning composition comprising the following components in parts by weight: 51-5 parts of C12-14 alkanol polyether; 0.1-1 parts of PPG-7-butanol polyether-10; and 0.1-1 parts of disodium cocoamphodiacetate.

[0007] The C12-14 alkanol polyether-5 described in this invention is a nonionic surfactant with excellent surface tension reduction, rapid spreading, detergency and hard water resistance. It has low foaming, is easy to rinse and does not easily form continuous liquid films or residual films.

[0008] The PPG-7-butanol polyether-10 described in this invention is an alcohol ether modified surfactant with excellent low foaming properties, wetting and spreading properties and surface tension reduction ability. It has low foam generation, fast foam breaking speed, and does not easily form continuous liquid film and residual film on hard surfaces. It also has stable compatibility.

[0009] The disodium cocoyl amphoteric diacetate described in this invention is an amphoteric surfactant with excellent cleaning, detergency, and hard water resistance capabilities. It produces low-foaming content that dissipates easily, has good compatibility with skin and hard surfaces, and is non-irritating. It can significantly improve the stability and mildness of the formulation system.

[0010] This invention combines C12-14 alkanol polyether-5, PPG-7-butanol polyether-10, and disodium cocoamphodiacetate to achieve complementary advantages in reducing foam volume, accelerating foam defoaming, and reducing liquid film residue. It can significantly reduce the risk of surface foam and residual film after cleaning, improve wiping smoothness and surface cleanliness, and reduce drag marks, streaks, and residual marks. It is particularly suitable for cleaning hard surfaces such as countertops, appliance casings, and bathroom fixtures where low foaming, quick drying, and low residue are required.

[0011] In one embodiment, the household cleaning composition contains the following components in parts by weight: 53 parts of C12-14 alkanol polyether; 0.5 parts of PPG-7-butanol polyether-10; and 0.5 parts of disodium cocoamphodiacetate.

[0012] The household cleaning composition of the present invention may further include the following components in parts by weight: 0.05-1 part of a natural modified cationic component. The natural modified cationic component can form a micro-uniform cationic adsorption layer on a hard surface, regulating the spreading, shrinking, and evaporation of residual water films, reducing the continuous liquid film residence time, significantly improving drying speed, and reducing watermarks, streaks, and residual marks. It synergistically enhances the effect with a low-foaming surfactant system, achieving a combined effect of rapid drying and low residue. Suitable natural modified cationic components may be selected from at least one of polyquaternium-10, guar gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, hydroxypropyl guar gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, starch hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, chitosan, and hydroxypropyl chitosan.

[0013] In some embodiments, the natural modified cationic components are polyquaternium-10 and guar hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. Polyquaternium-10 can quickly form a thin adsorption layer on hard surfaces, promoting the rupture and retraction of residual water films and improving drying speed; guar hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride can make the adsorption layer more uniform and complete, improving the uniformity of water film spreading and shrinkage, and reducing watermarks, streaks, and wiping marks. The combination of the two can achieve better fast-drying and low-residue effects with lower addition amounts, while improving the transparency of the formulation and the stability of the system, making it suitable for cleaning hard surfaces such as glass, mirrors, stainless steel, and appliance casings where appearance and fast drying are important.

[0014] The household cleaning composition of the present invention may further include the following components in parts by weight: 1-4 parts of polyol. The polyol is mainly used to solubilize the system, improve transparency and stability, and does not affect the drying speed. Suitable polyols may be selected from at least one of glycerol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, butylene glycol, pentanediol, hexanediol, sorbitol, polyethylene glycol-8, polyethylene glycol-32, dipropylene glycol, diglycerol, glycerol polyether-26, polyglycerol-10, and polyglycerol-8.

[0015] In some embodiments, the polyol is 1,2-propanediol.

[0016] The household cleaning composition of the present invention may further include the following components in parts by weight: 2-5 parts of a volatile promoting component. The volatile promoting component is used to assist in accelerating the evaporation of the liquid film and shortening the drying time, and must be used in a mild, safe, and non-irritating manner. A suitable volatile promoting component may be selected from at least one of ethanol, ethoxydiethylene glycol, and isopropanol.

[0017] In some of these embodiments, the volatile promoting component is ethoxydiethylene glycol.

[0018] The household cleaning composition of the present invention may further include the following components in parts by weight: 0.01-0.1 parts of leveling agent. The leveling agent, by reducing the solid-liquid interfacial tension, promotes the formation of a uniform and continuous thin layer of cleaning liquid on the substrate surface, thereby avoiding streaks and water spots caused by uneven local spreading, improving surface appearance. Furthermore, it requires extremely low dosage, does not leave residue, and does not affect drying speed, making it suitable for quick-drying cleaning scenarios such as glass, mirrors, stainless steel, countertops, and appliance casings. A suitable leveling agent may be selected from at least one of polydimethylsiloxane, PEG-12 polydimethylsiloxane, and PEG / PPG-18 / 18 polydimethylsiloxane.

[0019] In some embodiments, the leveling agent is PEG-12 polydimethylsiloxane.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides an environmentally friendly household cleaning composition that achieves rapid drying and leaves no watermarks or residues. Through the synergistic effect of a low-foaming surfactant compound system and a natural modified cationic component, it has the following characteristics: low foam content, rapid foam breaking, no foam residue after cleaning, and no prolongation of drying time; it can effectively control the behavior of residual water film on hard surfaces, accelerate the shrinkage, rupture, and evaporation of the water film, and significantly shorten the drying time; after cleaning, the surface is free of watermarks, streaks, drag marks, and residual film, with a uniform and bright appearance, without fogging or stickiness; it does not rely on high-concentration volatile solvents, is mild and low-irritant, and is compatible with various hard surfaces such as glass, mirrors, stainless steel, tiles, and appliance casings; the formula is stable, highly transparent, and easy to prepare, combining good detergency, low foaming, rapid drying, and low residue performance, making it suitable for a wide range of scenarios.

[0035] Comparative Example 4 A household cleaning composition comprising the following components in parts by weight: C12-14 Alkyl Polyether - 53 parts PPG-7-Butanol Polyether - 100.5 parts 0.5 parts of disodium cocoamphodiacetate Guar gum hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride 0.4 parts 3 parts of 1,2-propanediol 3 parts ethoxydiethylene alcohol 0.05 parts of PEG-12 polydimethylsiloxane 0.5 parts of phenoxyethanol 0.1 parts fragrance Add water to make 100 parts.

[0037] Experimental Example 1: Drying Time Test Test substrates: glass plate, mirror stainless steel plate, brushed stainless steel plate, glazed ceramic tile plate Test method: Under the conditions of 25℃ and 50% RH, take 0.5mL of sample and evenly coat it on the surface of a 10cm×10cm standard substrate. Wipe it once with a lint-free paper with uniform force, and record the time for continuous wet film to disappear, the time for visible wet marks to disappear, and the time for complete drying to touch.

[0038] Evaluation criteria: The shorter the drying time, the better the quick-drying properties.

[0039] Table 1 Drying Time Test Record Sheet

[0040] As shown in Table 1, the wet mark disappearance time of Examples 1-3 on various substrates was ≤45 seconds, and the complete drying time was ≤90 seconds. However, the complete drying time of Comparative Examples 1 (without PPG-7-butanol polyether-10) and 2 (without disodium cocoamphodiacetate) was more than 30% longer than that of Example 3. The drying time of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 (single cationic) was about 10% longer than that of Example 3. This indicates that the low-foaming surfactant system and the synergistic effect of the compounded cationic surfactants in the compositions of this invention can significantly improve the drying speed.

[0041] Experimental Example 2: Residual Water Film Behavior Test Test method: Take 0.2 mL of sample and drop it in the center of a horizontal glass plate. Record the diameter of the liquid film spreading, the continuous liquid film rupture time, the uniformity of liquid film retraction, and the residual area after drying.

[0042]

[0043] Table 2 Residual Water Film Test Record Sheet As shown in Table 2, the liquid film in the embodiments of the present invention has a shorter rupture time and more uniform shrinkage, with no obvious residual traces after drying. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 show uneven liquid film distribution and slower rupture, easily leading to localized water film aggregation. Comparative Examples 3 and 4 show poor water film shrinkage consistency, easily producing annular marks. This demonstrates that the present invention can effectively control the behavior of residual water film.

[0044] Test Example 3: Foam Residue and Defoaming Performance Test Test method: Use a 100mL stoppered graduated cylinder, add 50mL of sample, shake vigorously for 30 seconds, and record the initial foam height and the time for complete foam dissipation; simulate the wiping process and observe the foam trails and residues on the substrate surface.

[0045] Table 3. Foam Residue and Defoaming Performance Test Record Table

[0046] As shown in Table 3, the initial foam height of Examples 1-3 was ≤15mm, the complete defoaming time was ≤60s, and there were no foam tails or residues after wiping. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had higher foam heights, slower defoaming, and easily produced strip-shaped foam marks after wiping. This indicates that the low-foaming surfactant system of this invention can significantly reduce foam residue.

[0047] Test Example 4: Watermark / Stripe / Appearance Evaluation Test Test method: The sample is evenly sprayed onto the glass and mirror stainless steel surface, wiped in a uniform manner, and allowed to dry naturally. Under a standard D65 light source, 10 evaluators conduct a blind test on a 10-point scale. The scoring items include watermarks, streaks, fogging, and uniformity of appearance. The higher the score, the better the effect.

[0048] Table 4. Statistical Table of Visual Evaluation Test

[0049] As can be seen from the test results in Table 4: Examples 1-3 had a comprehensive score of ≥9.0 points, with a bright and spotless surface and no fogging; Comparative Examples 1-4 all had scores below 6.5 points, with obvious watermarks, streaks, or fogging.

[0050] Test Example 5 Cleaning Power Test Test method: Prepare fingerprint stains, light oil stains, daily dust stains, and soap scum stains on a standard glass plate. Wipe the sample once with a fixed pressure and observe the stain removal rate.

[0051] Table 5 Cleaning Power Test Record Sheet

[0052] As can be seen from the test results in Table 5, Examples 1-3 achieved a removal rate of ≥95% for various common dirt in a single wipe, quickly removing dirt without leaving scratches or residue, thus meeting the daily cleaning needs of hard surfaces in the home.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
