Definitions

This invention relates to fabric cleaning compositions, more particularly to dry compositions useful for cleaning carpets, curtains and similar furnishing fabrics.
carpets and other furnishing fabrics have, for many years, been subjected to cleaning using various wet systems involving shampooing, steam-cleaning and straightforward washing where the fabric can be conveniently treated by such methods.
a particular problem arises from wet methods in the time taken for the carpet to dry prior to being available for its normal use as a floor covering.
the pile of a carpet can be flattened by people walking on it, or placing furniture on it when it is wet.
surfactant or soap used in the wet cleaning methods are removed, there is a tendency for the fabric to pick up soil at an enhanced rate.
United States Patent Specification No 3 630 919 discloses a dry cleaning composition containing a minor amount of a colloidal silica having a particle size in the range 0.01 to 20 microns, a major amount of finely divided carrier having a bulk density in the range 6 to 22 lbs/ft 3 and water.
Suitable carrier materials disclosed include various diatomaceous earths, sawdust, talc, cork, corn cob, Fuller's earth and the like.
United States Patent Specification No 4 035 148 discloses a further surfactant-free composition consisting essentially of a water-soluble phosphate and a water-insoluble alumina having a particle size less than 3 microns. This composition is said to impart a soil repellent finish to carpets and the like. The preferred particle size for the alumina is from 0.005 to 0.1 microns.
British Patent Specification No 2 037 311 discloses a pulverant, non-toxic cleaning agent comprising 70 to 30 parts by weight of the solvent mixture consisting of water and certain organic solvents, and a pulverant carrier of which the particle size is between about 5 and 1000 microns consisting of starch, flour or woody material.
terpenic hydrocarbons which are liquid at 20°C and have a boiling point under atmospheric pressure between 150 and 250°C
aliphatic hydrocarbons which are liquid at 20°C and have boiling points under atmospheric pressure of between 90 and 300°C
oxygenated solvents selected from mono- and di-alkyl ethers of ethylene glycol and acetates of ethylene glycol mono-alkyl ethers.
the present invention provides a fabric cleaning composition
a fabric cleaning composition comprising a carrier material and as cleaning liquid at least 5% by weight of the composition of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is also known as diglyme.
the liquid component in the fabric cleaning composition may also comprise water up to 94% by weight of liquid and, optionally, a small quantity of a surfactant may be included.
a surfactant is in the range 1 to 5% by weight of the total composition.
Compositions containing a surfactant which produces a dry residue which can be readily removed are preferred.
the carrier material may be selected from a wide range of solid material including solids such as sodium sulphate, calcite and many other cheap carrier materials.
the carrier material is a porous material able to absorb a significant amount of the preferred solvent and to reabsorb the liquid component from the fabric.
a preferred carrier material is a silica comprising at least 5% by weight of the composition of the preferred solvent.
the silica is a silica hydrogel.
Suitable silica hydrogels for use in the compositions provided by this invention can be obtained from Joseph Crosfield & Sons Limited, Warrington, England, and are usually sold in a form containing about 68% by weight water.
Another preferred carrier material is a particulate porous polymeric material.
Suitable polymeric materials are disclosed in, for example, British Patent Specification No 1 411 230 and No 1 576 228 and in European Patent Applications Nos 006 138 and 0 105 634.
carrier materials include cellulosic composition and urea/formaldehyde resin powders such as those disclosed in British Patent Specification No 2 112 013 and Japanese Patent Specification 1981-12242.
Certain of the inorganic carriers can usefully be used in combination with the more expensive inorganic or polymeric carriers or as extenders in more complex mixtures.
additives may be incorporated into the fabric cleaning compositions provided by this invention such as perfumes, antistats, bacteriostats, fillers such as inorganic salts and softening agents including various cationic surfactants.
Tests have now been developed in an attempt to quantify the effectiveness of the cleaning compositions provided by the present invention in comparison with known cleaning techniques and compositions.
First of all artificial soil has been developed which comprises vacuum cleaner dust, triolein and carbon black in the ratio 65:25:10 by weight. This is applied to a carpet sample as a spray using, as a volatile solvent, isopropanol (IPA). After drying the carpet is treated with a vacuum cleaner to remove loose dust.
IPA isopropanol
IPA isopropanol
IPA isopropanol
a textile abrasion tester has been adapted to brush the carpet's surface in a reproducible and predetermined pattern under various weights of brushing pressure. The cleaning effect has been measured using the Hunter colour co-ordinates L,a,b. The results are quoted as a percentage of the total colour regain (TCR) : where the subscripts refer to the samples being unsoiled (u), soiled (s) or cleaned (c).
silica hydrogel approximately 60% by weight of each solvent was exchanged into the hydrogel.
Suitable silica hydrogels for use in the compositions provided by this invention can be obtained from Joseph Crosfield & Sons Limited at Warrington, England, and are usually sold in a form containing about 68% by weight water.
the diglyme can conveniently be introduced into the hydrogel in a simple counter-current reactor in which the diglyme is fed counter-current into the container to displace water from the hydrogel.
a mixture (A) was prepared of the solvents:
compositions comprising silica hydrogel (1), Na 2 SO 4 10H 2 O and diglyme and similar mixtures in which the silica hydrogel was replaced by Accurel PA resin powder.
the results are set out in Table VI.
the mixtures are expressed as % by weight of the composition and as before were applied at 40 g/m 2 .
a preferred form of the invention comprises a composition in which the carrier is a particulate porour polymeric material and the cleaning liquid comprises at least 7.5% by weight of the composition with diethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
a further preferred form of the invention comprises a composition in which the carrier material comprises a porous silica and the cleaning liquid comprises at least 15% by weight of the composition of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
