Hard-Surface Cleaning. Products used Tor hard-surface cleaning around the home include the hand- and automatic dishwashing products, the liquid and powder floor and wall cleaners, and the abrasive scouring cleansers. 

Solid soils are commonly encountered in hard surface cleaning and continue to become more important in home laundry conditions as wash temperatures decrease. The detergency process is complicated in the case of solid oily soils by the nature of the interfacial interactions of the surfactant solution and the solid soil. An initial soil softening or "liquefaction", due to penetration of surfactant and water molecules was proposed, based on gravimetric data (4). In our initial reports of the application of FT-IR to the study of solid soil detergency, we also found evidence of rapid surfactant penetration, which was correlated with successful detergency (5). In this chapter, we examine the detergency performance of several nonionic surfactants as a function of temperature and type of hydrocarbon "model soil". Performance characteristics are related to the interfacial phase behavior of the ternary surfactant -hydrocarbon - water system. 

Applications. At present there are very few known applications, although the surfactants have significant potential due to their unique properties. Sulphonated fatty acids are used in some hard-surface cleaning formulations where their low foam is a benefit and in emulsion polymerisation, where they perform similarly to LAS but with greatly reduced tendency to foam. Future applications for these products may include machine dishwash, extended use in detergent products and industrial applications such as pigment dispersants. For these to be realised, further process development will be required to give a more consistent and better defined product.

The possible roles of nails (fingers and toes) in exposure to chemicals include direct contact with the cuticle and nail, inhalation from volatilization of a chemical applied to the nails, and oral intake via nail biting and finger sucking. Consumer products of relevance include nail lacquers ( polishes ) and nail lacquer removers applied via various means (applicator, cotton ball, etc.). Also, handwashing, dishwashing, shampoo, hard surface cleaning, etc., products would involve nail contact, as would contact with residential water and soil, and paints and paint removers, and petrol. Nail lacquers can include toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and phthalates, while nail lacquer remover can include ethyl acetate. 

Concentrated compositions that increase in viscosity when diluted are described in U.S. Patent 6,150,320. A Bostwick consistometer is used for all viscosity measurements and equivalence is offered to Brookfield measurements using Spindle no. 1, at 60 r/min, and the Zahn viscometer, no. 1 cup. A low-viscosity hard surface cleaning emulsion, approximately 12 mPa s, is described in U.S. Patent 5,934,375 that increases in viscosity upon dilution with water to 800 to 1200 mPas. 

One unusual example of a hard surface cleaner of this type claims a residual effect on the surface that reducing the cleaning effort needed on subsequent cleanings. The surprising part of this invention is that the claim is based, in part, on the presence of lipase in the formula [226], This is a rare example of the use of an enzyme in a consumer-intended hard surface cleaning formula. The use of enzymes in hand dishwashing, automatic dishwashing, and laundry is quite common. 

A signal in hard surface cleaning that is often highlighted in commercials (especially those for glass cleaners) is the squeak. Greasy or dirty surfaces will not squeak when the surface is rubbed due to the lubrication of the surface consumers assume that a surface that squeaks is very clean. In one patent, it is claimed that the surfactant and buffer can be chosen to foster this effect in the cleaned surface [236,237],...

Two formulations were developed which contain 50% total water, including the water in the sodium metasilicate pentahydrate. One contains nonionic, the other has no nonionic but has more AO-14-2 and Alkali Surfactant, the combination of which should do as well as the nonionic for hard surface cleaning.
