Abstract

To provide an anti-soiling detergent composition that has excellent detergency, endows cleaned surfaces with a pronounced anti-soiling effect, effectively sustains the anti-staining effect, possesses superb storage stability, and can be used on restrooms, sinks, baths, and other damp, hard surfaces. The anti-soiling detergent composition contains (A) 0.05 to 10 mass % of a polyetheramide-modified organopolysiloxane and/or amino-modified organopolysiloxane, (B) 0.1 to 30 mass % of a specific surfactant, (C) 0.1 to 20 mass % of a metal chelating agent, and (D) water.

Claims (46)

1. A method for cleaning and/or desoiling a hard surface comprising contacting said hard surface with a composition, said composition comprising:

(A) 0.05 to 10 mass % of a polyetheramide-modified organopolysiloxane;

(B) 0.1 to 30 mass % of at least one type of surfactant selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and cationic surfactants;

(C) 0.1 to 20 mass % of a metal chelating agent;

(D) water; and

optionally one or both of (E) and (F), wherein

(E) 0.01 to 5 mass % of a thickener; and

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said polyetheramide-modified organopolysiloxane is expressed by average compositional formula (1)

R 1 a R 2 b Q 1 c Q 2 d SiO (4-a-b-c-d)/2   (1)

and/or expressed by average compositional formula (6)

R 1 a R 2 b Q 1 c Q 2 d Q 3 el SiO (4-a-b-c-d-e1)/2

where a and d are zeros or positive numbers; b, c, and e1 are positive numbers such that for formula (1) 1.9≦a+b+c+d≦0.2, and for formula (6) 1.9≦a+b+c+d+e1≦2.2; R 1 is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R 2 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; Q 1 is a group expressed by general formula (2) or (3)

R 3 and R 5 are divalent hydrocarbon groups with 2 to 18 carbon atoms; R 4 and R 6 are hydrogen atoms or monovalent hydrocarbon groups with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; X is a group expressed by general formula (4)

—R 7 e O f —(C 2 H 4 O) g —(R 8 O) h —Y  (4);

e and f are each 0 or 1; g and h are zeros or positive integers of 1 or greater; R 7 is a divalent hydrocarbon group with 2 to 18 carbon atoms; R 8 is a divalent hydrocarbon group with 3 to 10 carbon atoms; Y is a hydrogen atom, a monovalent hydrocarbon group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an acyl group, or an isocyanic acid group; Q 2 is a group expressed by general formula (5)

—R 9 i O j —(C 2 H 4 O) k —(R 10 O) m —Z (5);

i and j are each 0 or 1; k is a positive integer of 1 or greater; m is zero or a positive integer of 1 or greater; R 9 is a divalent hydrocarbon group with 2 to 18 carbon atoms; R 10 is a divalent hydrocarbon group with 3 to 10 carbon atoms; and Z is a hydrogen atom, a monovalent hydrocarbon group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an acyl group, or an isocyanic acid group; and Q 3 is a group expressed by general formula (7) or (8)

R 3 and R 5 are divalent hydrocarbon groups with 2 to 18 carbon atoms; and R 4 and R 6 are hydrogen atoms or monovalent hydrocarbon groups with 1 to 6 carbon atoms; however d and g cannot both be zero at the same time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the thickener of component (E) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of thickening polysaccharides, carboxyvinyl polymer, crosslinked polyacrylic acids, and salts thereof, and wherein the water-soluble solvent of component (F) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alcohols, glycol ethers, and terpene-based hydrocarbon solvents.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the thickener of component (E) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of thickening polysaccharides, carboxyvinyl polymers, crosslinked polyacrylic acids, and salts thereof, and wherein the water-soluble solvent of component (F) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alcohols, glycol ethers, and terpene-based hydrocarbon solvents.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hard surface is plastic, stainless steel, porcelain, tile, glass, ceramic, granite/terrazzo, or other natural stone material, and is found in restrooms, washstands, baths, and other damp locations.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein said hard surface is plastic, stainless steel, porcelain, tile, glass, ceramic, granite/terrazzo, or other natural stone material, and is found in restrooms, washstands, baths, and other damp locations.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising scrubbing the hard surface.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rinsing the composition from the hard surface.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hard surface is contacted with the composition for a time sufficient to achieve adequate detergency, anti-soiling effect, and sustainability of anti-soiling effect.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising contacting the hard surface with a cleaning apparatus.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the hard surface is contacted using a sponge impregnated with the composition, further comprising scrubbing the contacted hard surface and rinsing the composition from the hard surface.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the hard surface is a vertical surface contacted by affixing to the vertical surface for a time a nonwoven fabric impregnated with the composition, further comprising rinsing the vertical surface.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the hard surface is contacted by wiping the hard surface with a towel or duster impregnated with the composition, further comprising wiping the surface with a moist towel.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hard surface is contacted by sprinkling with the composition.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising scrubbing the contacted hard surface and rinsing the composition from the hard surface.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hard surface is contacted by spraying the hard surface with the composition.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising allowing the composition to stand for a time and rinsing the composition from the hard surface.

18. A method for cleaning and/or desoiling a hard surface comprising:

a) contacting the surface comprising soil with a composition comprising:
