ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to cleaning compositions and, more particularly, to alkali cleaning compositions that provides for an increased level of stability for a chlorine component within the composition.
BACKGROUND
Many cleaner compositions are presently used in many applications, such as retail, industrial and institutional applications. In many such compositions, a source of alkalinity is provided for soil removal. Additionally, in some compositions, it is also desirable to provide a source of chlorine to aid in sanitizing, bleaching, cleaning, or the like. However, it has been found that in many such compositions, the stability of the chlorine within such alkaline compositions is less than may be desired.
There remains a need, therefore, for cleaning compositions with cleaning capabilities where the composition has a desired level of alkalinity, and also has an increased level of chlorine stability.
SUMMARY OF SOME EMBODIMENTS
Some embodiments of the invention relate to a cleaning composition including a less than fully ionized source of alkalinity within the cleaning composition, a source of chlorine, and a polar carrier. In at least some embodiments, it has been found that chlorine has an increased level of stability within the cleaning composition relative to a second composition having similar components and a similar level of titratable alkalinity, but that includes a fully ionized source of alkalinity as a sole source of alkalinity.
Some other embodiments relate to methods of making, and methods of using such cleaning compositions.
