Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid bathroom cleaner composition. [Background technology]

[0002] A wide variety of dirt is present in a bathroom, including limescale, sebum, limescale, mold, etc. Various cleaning compositions have been proposed so far for removing dirt in the bathroom. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a hard surface cleaner composition that contains a surfactant including a non-soap anionic surfactant, a glycol solvent, and an aminocarboxylic acid type chelating agent, and has a pH of 10 to 12. This cleaner composition has excellent cleaning power against limescale stains adhering to glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) surfaces. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a composition that contains a glycol solvent and an amine surfactant and thereby enhances the ability to clean sebum adhering to a glass surface.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-124965 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2020-105322 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, sebum stains are more difficult to remove when they adhere to a highly hydrophobic surface such as PP (polypropylene) resin than to a highly hydrophilic surface. Therefore, when sebum stains adhere to a bathtub lid made of PP (polypropylene) resin, it may be difficult to remove them using the cleaning compositions of Patent Documents 1 and 2. In order to improve the cleaning power against sebum stains, it is conceivable to increase the amount of anionic surfactant blended, but if the amount of anionic surfactant blended is too high, the problem of poor rinsing ability arises. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid cleaning composition for bathrooms that can achieve both improved cleaning power against sebum stains adhering to hydrophobic surfaces such as PP resin and improved rinsing properties. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following configuration.

A "higher fatty acid" is a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid having 8 to 24 carbon atoms. In other words, component (A) is an anionic surfactant other than saturated or unsaturated fatty acids having 8 to 24 carbon atoms or their salts.

[0009] Examples of component (A) include alkylbenzenesulfonates, alkanesulfonates, alkyl sulfates, alkyl polyoxyethylene sulfates, α-olefinsulfonates, internal olefinsulfonic acids or salts thereof having a carbon-carbon double bond at the second or higher position (inside), alkylphenoxyphenyl disulfonates, fatty acid salts excluding higher fatty acid salts, α-sulfofatty acid salts, ether carboxylates, alkyl phosphates, alkyl polyoxyethylene phosphates, dialkyl sulfosuccinate salts, alkyl sulfosuccinate salts, alkenylsuccinates, N-acylamino acid salts, and N-acylmethyltaurine salts.

[0010] Among them, alkylbenzenesulfonates and α-olefinsulfonates are preferably selected from the viewpoint of excellent detergency, and α-olefinsulfonates are particularly preferred. Examples of the salt include alkali metal salts such as sodium salts and potassium salts, and alkanolamine salts such as monoethanolamine salts and diethanolamine salts. Among them, alkali metal salts such as sodium salts and potassium salts are preferred.

The content of component (A) is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 mass%, and more preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mass%, based on the total mass of the bathroom liquid cleaner composition. A content of 0.5 mass% or more enhances cleaning power, while a content of 5.0 mass% or less improves rinsing ability.

[0066] [Rinseability evaluation] Each example of the bathroom liquid cleaning composition was filled into a trigger container of the commercially available bathroom cleaner "Ofuro no Look" and sprayed 10 times at equal intervals into the inside of an FRP bathtub (100 x 75 x 65 cm). Then, using a urethane sponge, spray the inside of the bathtub with approximately 10 g / cm 2 The entire inside surface of the bathtub was rubbed in a circular motion while applying a load of 0.01 kg, and then the bathtub was rinsed with tap water from a shower (water temperature 15°C, flow rate 0.2 L / sec). The time until the foam completely disappeared from the bathtub drain was measured, and the rinsing ability of the bathroom liquid cleaner composition was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. In the following evaluation criteria, ◎ and ○ were considered to be acceptable.

[0067] Evaluation criteria. ◎: 19 seconds or less. ○: More than 20 seconds but less than 23 seconds. △: Between 23 and 30 seconds. ×: More than 31 seconds.

[0072] [Table 5]

[0073] As shown in Tables 1 to 4, all of Examples 1 to 24 were excellent in sebum cleansing power and rinsing ability. In contrast, as shown in Table 5, Comparative Example 1 not containing component (B) and Comparative Example 2 not containing component (C) had insufficient sebum cleansing power. Moreover, in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, in which the ratio [(B) / (C)] was outside the range of 0.1 to 4.0, the sebum cleansing power was insufficient, and in Comparative Example 4, the rinsing performance was also insufficient.
