Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Conventionally, like the cleaning agent composition for window screens of Patent Document 1, a cleaning agent for window screens has cleaned the window screen by spraying a mousse-like foam onto the window screen, and has only been applicable to cleaning the window screen. Therefore, cleaning agents for different uses such as window screens, glass windows, and sash washing are sold, and these three types of cleaning agents are properly used at home. However, such a situation is inconvenient, and it is efficient to use one cleaning agent for window screens, glass windows, and sash washing.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning agent composition for window screens that can be used for window screens, glass windows, and sash washing with one cleaning agent. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In other words, the present invention is (A) Cleaning agent and, (B) Foaming agent and (C) Solvent and (D) Includes a base material, The viscosity is 0.001 Pa·s to 1 Pa·s at 20°C to 30°C. The present invention provides a screen door cleaning agent composition characterized by the following:

[0007] The screen door cleaning agent composition of the present invention, (A) Polyoxyethylene cetyl ether as a cleaning agent, (B) Polyoxyethylene coconut oil fatty acid sorbitan as a foaming agent, It is preferable that it includes.

[0008] Furthermore, the screen door cleaning agent composition of the present invention, (A) Polyoxyethylene cetyl ether 1% to 3% by weight as a detergent agent, (B) As a foaming agent, 0.5% to 1.8% by weight of polyoxyethylene coconut oil fatty acid sorbitan. (C) Solvent (e.g., ethanol) 3% to 6% by weight, and (D) Substrate (e.g., water) 70% by weight or more, It is preferable that it includes.

[0009] Furthermore, the present invention comprises the above-mentioned screen door cleaning agent composition, (E) a propellant, Including, We also offer a screen door cleaning agent that features [specific characteristic]. Furthermore, the present invention involves spraying the above-mentioned screen door cleaning agent composition onto a screen door and a glass plate installed at a predetermined interval, from the screen door side, while generating foam. The foamy composition is fixed to the screen door and the glass. The present invention also provides a cleaning method for cleaning the screen door and the glass by allowing the foamy composition to naturally hang down for a predetermined period of time. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, the amount of the cleaning agent remaining on the screen door during spraying can be controlled, and a specified amount can also be sprayed onto the glass part. After cleaning, the foam liquefies and flows down from the upper part to the lower part by gravity, reaches the sash rail at the lower part of the window glass, and the cleaning of the sash rail can be processed at once. Therefore, one cleaning agent can be used to handle the screen door, the glass window and the sash washing.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0011] [Figure 1] It is a schematic view of a method of using a cleaning agent composition for a screen door according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a cleaning agent composition for a screen door according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these drawings. Further, since the drawings are for conceptually explaining the present invention, for ease of understanding, dimensions, ratios or numbers may be exaggerated or simplified as necessary.

[0013] The cleaning agent composition for a screen door of the present embodiment is (A) a cleaning agent, (B) a foaming agent, (C) a solvent, (D) a base material, and is characterized in that the viscosity is 0.001 Pa·s to 1 Pa·s at 20°C to 30°C. Here, the viscosity in the present invention is the viscosity measured by a capillary viscometer, a falling ball viscometer, a rotational viscometer, a vibration viscometer or the like.

[0014] According to the window screen cleaning agent composition having such a configuration, since it has a specific viscosity (thixotropy), the amount of the cleaning agent remaining on the window screen during spraying can be controlled, and a specified amount can also be sprayed onto the glass part. After cleaning, the foam liquefies and flows down from the upper part to the lower part by gravity, reaches the sash rail at the lower part of the window glass, and the cleaning of the sash rail can be processed at one time. Therefore, one cleaning agent can be used to handle the cleaning of the window screen, glass window and sash.

[0015] Here, examples of the cleaning agent (A) include polyoxyethylene cetyl ether, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, and the like. The blending ratio of the cleaning agent (A) in the window screen cleaning agent composition may be 1% by weight to 3% by weight.

[0016] Furthermore, (B) foaming agents include, for example, polyoxyethylene coconut oil fatty acid sorbitan, alkylbenzene sulfonates, linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, α-olefin sulfonates, alkyl phosphate salts, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphates, polyoxyethylene oleyl ethers, polyoxyethylene tridecyl ethers, polyoxyethylene cetyl ethers, polyoxyethylene 2-ethylhexyl ethers, and other polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene cetyl ethers, and polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene 2-ethylhexyl ethers. Examples include polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ethers, polyoxyethylene higher fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene glycerin fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, fatty acid alkanolamides, alkyl polyglucosides such as lauryl polyglucosides and myristyl polyglucosides, coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, alkylamine oxides, coconut oil alkyldimethylamine oxides, aminoacetic acid betaine, amidopropyl betaine, alkylamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, and 2-alkyl-N-carboxymethyl-N-hydroxyethylimidazolinium betaine. The proportion of (B) foaming agent in the screen door cleaning agent composition may be 0.5% to 1.8% by weight, and preferably 0.5% to 2.0% by weight.

[0017] (C) Examples of solvents include ethanol, isopropanol (IPA), n-paraffin, isoparaffin, isopropyl myristate, higher fatty acid esters, glycol ether solvents, ketone solvents, glycerin, ethylene glycol, etc. The proportion of solvent (C) in the screen door cleaning agent composition should be 3% to 6% by weight.

[0018] Furthermore, (D) the base material may be, for example, water (tap water, distilled water, purified water, etc.), and its proportion in the mixture should be such that it accounts for the remainder of the screen door cleaning agent composition (for example, 70% by weight or more).

[0019] The screen door cleaning agent composition may further contain more than 0.0% by weight and up to 0.3% by weight of lemon eucalyptus oil as a fragrance. Since lemon eucalyptus has mosquito-repellent and insect-repellent effects, the insect-repellent components remain on the screen door, providing an insect-repellent effect.

[0020] Furthermore, the screen door cleaning agent composition may contain a preservative component. Triethanolamine can be suitably used as the preservative, for example, in an amount of 0.1 to 0.2% by weight.

[0021] Furthermore, the screen door cleaning agent composition may also contain an antibacterial agent component. Isopropylmethylphenol can be suitably used as the antibacterial agent, for example, by incorporating more than 0% to 0.01% by weight.

[0022] Furthermore, the screen door cleaning agent composition may also contain a rust inhibitor component. Ammonia can be suitably used as the rust inhibitor, for example, by incorporating more than 0% to 0.1% by weight.

[0023] The screen door cleaning composition is preferably such that when sprayed onto the screen door, the foam adherence rate to the screen door is approximately 50-60% when sprayed from a distance of about 10 cm, and 80-90% when sprayed from a distance of about 20 cm. This is to allow a sufficient amount of the screen door cleaning composition to pass through the screen door and reach the window glass. Here, the adherence rate is measured as follows.

[0024] Specifically, at the location where the target object, a designated screen door and window glass (glass plate), are installed, the screen door cleaning agent composition is sprayed from a distance of approximately 10 cm or 20 cm from the screen door side, causing it to foam up and adhere to the screen door side. At this time, some of the screen door cleaning agent composition adheres to the screen door, and other parts pass through the screen door and adhere to the window glass located behind it. After 1 to 10 minutes, the amount of screen door cleaning agent composition adhering to the screen door and window glass respectively is measured using a measuring instrument.

[0025] Therefore, the present invention also relates to a cleaning method for cleaning a screen door and a window pane, which are installed at a predetermined interval (for example, 1.5 to 3.0 cm), by spraying the above-mentioned screen door cleaning agent composition from the screen door side while creating foam, fixing the foamy composition to the screen door and the window pane, and allowing the foamy composition to naturally hang down for a predetermined period of time.

[0026] The viscosity of the screen door cleaning agent composition is preferably 0.001 Pa·s to 1 Pa·s at approximately 20°C to 30°C. When the screen door cleaning agent composition sprayed onto the screen door liquefies, it can remove dirt from the screen door while flowing down to the window frame below, allowing it to penetrate the dirt on the frame as well.

[0027] The screen door cleaning agent composition of this embodiment is mixed with (E) a propellant (e.g., LPG) to constitute a screen door cleaning agent. For example, these mixtures can be used by filling them into a sprayer such as a spray can.

[0028] The material of the screen door mesh can be, for example, synthetic resin, glass fiber reinforced synthetic resin, or stainless steel. For synthetic resin and glass fiber reinforced synthetic resin, it is sufficient to have sufficient strength to perform its function, and the mesh size can be 16, 18, or 1.5 mm or less as specified in JIS Z 8801-1, with a wire diameter of 0.23 to 0.60 mm. For stainless steel, a mesh of 16 or 18 using soft type 1 as specified in JIS G 4309 with a wire diameter of 0.20 to 0.60 mm is acceptable.

[0029] Table 1 shows a suitable formulation example when using a screen door cleaning agent composition together with a propellant. [Table 1]

[0030] In this screen door cleaning agent composition, when the foam is sprayed onto the screen door, the foam adherence rate to the screen door is approximately 50-60% when sprayed from a distance of about 10 cm, and 80-90% when sprayed from a distance of about 20 cm, with the remaining cleaning solution adhering to the window glass behind the screen door. Furthermore, because the screen door cleaning agent composition has low viscosity, the sprayed cleaning agent components flow down the screen door and window glass, reaching the window frame after a few minutes and penetrating the dirt on the frame as well.

[0031] The method of using the screen door cleaning agent composition will be explained with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the method of using the screen door cleaning agent composition. Here, the screen door cleaning agent composition and propellant are assumed to be sealed in a spray can 1.

[0032] Select the structures to be cleaned: the screen door 3, the glass window 5, and the sash frame 7. Leave the screen door 3 installed on the sash frame 7 without removing it. Spray the screen door cleaning agent composition onto the objects to be cleaned. Some of the foam from the screen door cleaning agent composition adheres to the screen door 3, while the rest passes through the screen door 3 and reaches the window glass.

[0033] The cleaning agent components that adhere to the screen door 3 begin to liquefy within tens of seconds. These cleaning agent components flow downwards along the surface of the screen door 3 by gravity, while cleaning away the dirt accumulated on the screen door 3. Any dirt that cannot be removed by the cleaning agent components may be scrubbed off with a brush or similar tool.

[0034] The cleaning solution that has passed through screen door 3 and settled on the window glass begins to liquefy in a few tens of seconds. The cleaning agent components wash away the dirt on the glass surface and flow downwards due to gravity. Any dirt that cannot be removed by the cleaning agent components may be scrubbed off with a brush or similar tool.

[0035] The cleaning solution flows down from the screen door 3 and glass window 5 to the bottom of the sash frame 7. In this state, the dirt on the sash rail can be loosened by scrubbing it with a brush or similar tool.

[0036] After cleaning, rinse the screen door 3, glass window 5, and sash frame 7 with water or similar to complete the cleaning process.

[0037] In short, by deliberately making the foam adhesion weaker, when the screen door cleaning agent composition is sprayed onto the window glass through the screen door 3, a portion of it adheres to the screen door 3, while the remaining portion that passes through the screen door 3 is sprayed onto the glass. The sprayed foam liquefies and flows down from top to bottom due to gravity, reaching the screen door 3 and the sash rail at the bottom of the window glass. This allows the sash rail to be cleaned at the same time.

[0038] In this way, by using the screen door cleaning agent composition, the three cleaning steps for the screen door 3, glass window 5, and sash frame 7 can be performed at once with a single cleaning agent. Furthermore, by adding lemon eucalyptus oil, which has mosquito and insect repellent effects, the lemon eucalyptus oil component remains on the cleaned surface, and an insect repellent effect can also be expected. [Examples]

[0039] Screen door cleaning agents 1 to 15 of the present invention, each containing a screen door cleaning agent composition and propellant having the composition and viscosity shown in Table 2, were prepared and filled into spray cans. Then, screen door cleaning agents 1 to 15 were sprayed for 3 seconds from the screen door 3 side onto a structure including a screen door 3, a glass window 5, and a sash frame 7 (the distance between the screen door 3 and the glass window 5 is 2 cm) as shown in Figure 1. After about 3 minutes, the adhesion rate of the screen door cleaning agent composition to the screen door 3 was measured using the method described above. The results are shown in Tables 2 to 4. [Table 2] [Table 3] [Table 4]

[0040] As shown in Tables 2-4, the screen door cleaning agent composition of the present invention allows for control over the amount of cleaning agent remaining on the screen door during spraying, and enables the application of a specified amount to the glass portion as well. After cleaning, the foam liquefies and flows from top to bottom due to gravity, reaching the sash rail at the bottom of the window glass, allowing for simultaneous cleaning of the sash rail as well. Therefore, one cleaning agent can be used to clean screen doors, glass windows, and sashes.

[0041] Although an embodiment of the present invention, a screen door cleaning agent composition, has been described above, the present invention is not limited to these, and various design modifications are possible as long as they embody the technical concept of the present invention, and all such design modifications fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
