In particular, kitchens handle food, so care must be taken to the propagation of various germs, and kitchen utensils, tableware, and the hands that handle them must be extremely sanitary. Further, the bad odor generated from the garbage is also unpleasant and should be deodorized.

Conventionally, various fungicides have been known, but they are often difficult to use because they cause rough skin or have a strong odor. In addition, kitchens, toilets, bathrooms,
The effect is too strong for use in general households such as washrooms, and some may harm the human body when sprayed.

[0004] On the other hand, in the past, the components of deodorants have also been diverse, and when used in a kitchen, there is a concern about the safety of food, cooking utensils, and tableware.
In addition, there are some which deodorize due to the masking effect, but this method has a strong smell and is unsuitable for use in a kitchen. Furthermore, there is nothing satisfying both the bactericidal effect and the deodorant effect at the same time, and it is necessary to prepare a bactericide and a deodorant separately for sterilization and deodorization, and both use and storage are complicated. Was.

[0005] On the other hand, ethanol has been known for a long time as having a bactericidal activity, and has been widely used as a bactericide. However, the deodorizing effect of ethanol alone has not been known. In addition, the licorice extract is known to have an antibacterial action and the like, and for example, an oral composition comprising an oil-soluble extract of licorice or a plant belonging to the same genus has been reported (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-16).
No. 4021). However, since coloring or precipitation occurs in a product using a licorice extract, there is a problem that it is difficult to use the licorice extract.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an excellent sterilizing and deodorizing effect in kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, washrooms, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a disinfecting and deodorizing detergent composition that can easily perform bacteria and disinfection.
