Abstract

Compositions to treat surfaces to affect materials deposited on such surfaces and methods of treating surfaces with such compositions to affect such deposition materials.

Claims (50)

1. A surface treatment composition, comprising:

an amount of water;

an amount of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4 tricarboxylic acid, wherein said amount of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4 tricarboxylic acid comprises about 0.05 weight percent and about 0.85 weight percent;

an amount of citric acid, wherein said amount of citric acid comprises about 4.0 weight percent and about 10.0 weight percent;

an amount of L(+)-lactic acid, wherein said amount of L(+)-lactic acid comprises about 0.88 weight percent and about 35.2 weight percent;

an amount of methanesulphonic acid, wherein said amount of methanesulphonic acid comprises about 1.7 weight percent and about 10.0 weight percent;

an amount of glycolic acid, wherein said amount of glycolic acid comprises about 0.7 weight percent and about 31.5 weight percent;

an amount of propylene glycol methyl ether, wherein said amount of propylene glycol methyl ether comprises about 0.1 weight percent and about 1.0 weight percent;

an amount of disodium cocoamphodipropionate, wherein said amount of disodium cocoamphodipropionate comprises about 0.038 weight percent and about 3.8 weight percent; and

an amount of ethoxylated alcohol including a mixture of alcohols of nine to eleven carbons containing an average of six equivalents of ethoxylation, wherein said amount of ethoxylated alcohol comprises about 0.1 weight percent and about 10.0 weight percent; and wherein said surface treatment composition includes less than 0.1 weight percent phosphorus.

2. The surface treatment composition of claim 1 , further comprising an amount of fragrance.

3. The surface treatment composition of claim 1 , wherein

said amount of 2-phosphonbutane-1,2,4 tricarboxylic acid comprises about 0.25 weight percent;

said amount of citric acid comprises about 4.0 weight percent;

said amount of L(+)-lactic acid comprises about 7.0 weight percent;

said amount of methanesulphonic acid comprises about 7.0 weight percent;

said amount of glycolic acid comprises about 14.0 weight percent;

said amount of propylene glycol methyl ether comprises about 0.95 weight percent;

said amount of disodium cocoamphodipropionate comprises about 0.2 weight percent; and

said amount of ethoxylated alcohol including a mixture of alcohols of nine to eleven carbons containing an average of six equivalents of ethoxylation comprises about 3.0 weight percent.

4. The surface treatment composition of claim 3 , further comprising an amount of fragrance.

5. The surface treatment composition of claim 4 , wherein said amount of fragrance comprises an amount of an amount of lemon fragrance or an amount of methyl salicylate.

6. The surface treatment composition of claim 4 , wherein said amount of fragrance comprises an amount of an amount of lemon fragrance and an amount of methyl salicylate.

7. The surface treatment composition of claim 6 , wherein said amount of lemon fragrance comprises about 0.1 weight percent and said amount of methyl salicylate comprises about 0.1 weight percent.

8. A surface treatment composition, comprising:

an amount of water;

an amount of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4 tricarboxylic acid of about 0.25 weight percent;

an amount of citric acid of about 4.0 weight percent;

an amount of L(+)-lactic acid of about 7.0 weight percent;

an amount of methanesulphonic acid of about 7.0 weight percent;

an amount of glycolic acid of about 14.0 weight percent;

an amount of propylene glycol methyl ether of about 0.95 weight percent;

an amount of disodium cocoamphodipropionate of about 0.2 weight percent;

an amount of ethoxylated alcohol including a mixture of alcohols of nine to eleven carbons containing an average of six equivalents of ethoxylation of about 3.0 weight percent;

an amount of lemon fragrance of about 0.1 weight percent; and

and amount of methyl salicylate of about 0.1 weight percent, wherein said surface treatment composition includes less than 0.1 weight percent phosphorus.

9. A method of treating a surface with a composition, comprising contacting said surface with a composition comprising:

an amount of water;

an amount of 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4 tricarboxylic acid of about 0.25 weight percent;

an amount of citric acid of about 4.0 weight percent;

an amount of L(+)-lactic acid of about 7.0 weight percent;

an amount of methanesulphonic acid of about 7.0 weight percent;

an amount of glycolic acid of about 14.0 weight percent;

an amount of propylene glycol methyl ether of about 0.95 weight percent;

an amount of disodium cocoamphodipropionate of about 0.2 weight percent; and

an amount of ethoxylated alcohol including a mixture of alcohols of nine to eleven carbons containing an average of six equivalents of ethoxylation of about 3.0 weight percent, wherein said surface treatment composition includes less than 0.1 weight percent phosphorus.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising removing the composition from said surface.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said composition further comprises an amount of fragrance.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said amount of fragrance comprises an amount of lemon fragrance of about 0.1 weight percent.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said amount of fragrance further comprises an amount of methyl salicylate of about 0.1 weight percent.
