Abstract

Cleaning compositions including a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether are disclosed. These cleaning compositions are useful as liquid cleaners or de-greasers for animate surfaces, such as skin. The cleaning compositions provide improved cleaning and removal of soils without the use of certain VOCs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . A skin cleaning composition comprising a synergistic combination of a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate and wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         22 . The skin cleaning composition of  claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 
     
     
         23 . The skin cleaning composition of  claim 22 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 
     
     
         24 . The skin cleaning composition of  claim 21 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 6% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 
     
     
         25 . The skin cleaning composition of  claim 24 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 4% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 
     
     
         26 . The skin cleaning composition of  claim 21 , wherein the composition further comprises a skin conditioning agent. 
     
     
         27 . The skin cleaning composition of  claim 21 , wherein the composition further comprises a thickener. 
     
     
         28 . A cleaning composition comprising a synergistic combination of a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate and wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         29 . The cleaning composition of  claim 28 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 
     
     
         30 . The cleaning composition of  claim 29 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 
     
     
         31 . The cleaning composition of  claim 28 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 6% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 
     
     
         32 . The cleaning composition of  claim 31 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 4% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 
     
     
         33 . The cleaning composition of  claim 28 , wherein the composition further comprises a skin conditioning agent. 
     
     
         34 . A wipe comprising a fibrous substrate and a cleaning composition, wherein the composition comprises a synergistic combination of a non-ionic surfactant and a glycol ether, wherein the non-ionic surfactant is an alcohol ethoxylate and wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         35 . The wipe of  claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 
     
     
         36 . The wipe of  claim 35 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 5% (by weight of the composition) of the non-ionic surfactant. 
     
     
         37 . The wipe of  claim 34 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.5% to about 6% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 
     
     
         38 . The wipe of  claim 37 , wherein the composition comprises from about 2% to about 4% (by weight of the composition) of the glycol ether. 
     
     
         39 . The wipe of  claim 34 , wherein the composition further comprises a skin conditioning agent. 
     
     
         40 . The wipe of  claim 34 , wherein the composition further comprises a thickener.
