PYRROLIDONE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to hardwood floor cleaner compositions, and, more particularly, to a composition for this use which is non-tacky, cleans and shines in one-step, is free of silicones, and does not dull the wood surface being cleaned.
2. Description of the Prior Art EPA 0467472A2 discloses a hard surface liquid cleAni~g composition with an anti-soiling polymer, which, however, is primarily used for bathroom porcelain and tiles. U.S. Patent 4,368,146 describes a light duty hand dishwashing liquid detergent composition for kitchen utensils and glasses.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the hardwood floor cleaner composition herein, component (a) is a C6-C24 alkyl pyrrolidone which functions effectively to clean the floor. Most preferred are alkyl pyrrolidones selected from N-octylpyrrolidone, N-dodecylpyrrolidone or mixtures thereof. Suitably component (a) is present in the composition in an amount of about 0.1-5~, preferably 0.2-2%, by weight of the composition.
Component (b) of the composition is a surfactant, and is preferably an anionic or nonionic surfactant. As representative of the anionic surfactant, alkali metal salts of C8-C22 aliphatic surfactants such as WO95/00611 2 ~ 9 1 2 PCT~S94/03999 -sodium dodecyl sulfate or sulfonate, alkali metal salts of alkyl aromatic sulfonates or sulfates, and ethoxylated derivatives of the above, such as the alkylphenyl ethoxylated phosphate esters, may be used. The anionic surfactants are believed to form pseudo salts or ion v pairs with the higher alkyl pyrrolidone component (a~, which can produce an advantageous synergistic effect on wetting and surface spreading for the composition.
Sodium dodecyl (lauryl) sulfate is a preferred anionic surfactant. Component (b) suitably is present in an amount of about 0.1-5%, preferably 0.2-1%, by weight of the composition.
In combination, components (a) and (b) of the composition of the invention in a solvent such as water or alcohol, or mixtures thereof, provide a clear to slightly hazy aqueous microemulsion.
Component (c) of the composition provides a shine booster function for the composition. Suitable shine boosters are copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone, such as a copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (Gafquat~ 755-N - ISP); vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate, vinylpyrrolidone-acrylic acid; and vinylpyrrolidone-methaminopropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. The shine booster is present in the composition in an amount of about 1-5% as supplied, preferably 2-4%, of the composition; or 0.2 to 1.0% based on the solids content of the composition.
Component (d) of the composition provides a film-former function for the composition; it is present in an amount of about 0.5-2%, preferably 0.8-1.5%, of the composition. Suitable film-formers are acrylic emulsions, such as Esi-Cryl~ 405 sold by Emulsion Systems Inc., which is a copolymer of 2-methyl-2-propopenoic acid with ethyl-2-propenoate, methyl-2-methylpropenoate and 2-propenoic acid; styrene acrylic emulsion sold as Carboset0 (Union Carbide); acrylic emulsions sold as Conrez~ (Morton Int.); and Joncryl~ (S.C. Johnson).
95/~611 ~1 ~ G D 9 ~ PCT~S94/03999 The combination of components (c) and (d) in the compositions forms a barrier of a water-film on the hardwood surface which prevents or reduces contact of the surface with oil or dirt thus keeping the appearance of the surface shiny and clean-looking.
Component (e) of the composition is water, or alcohol, or mixtures thereof, in an amount of about 85-95%, preferably 88-93%, by weight of the composition.
Optional ingredients in the composition of the invention include a neutralizing agent for the acrylic em~lsion to make it clear; a plasticizer; a fragrance; a bittering agent; dyes; and auxiliary surfactants to improve leveling.
The composition may be applied to a wood surface by spraying, then damp mopping, or the concentrate may be added to a bucket of water, mixed, and then applied using a damp mop.

Then 5.0 g of each formulation was applied onto a clean glass plate, and wiped evenly with a damp sponge and allowed to air-dry. The resultant appearance of the film was evaluated for clarity and tackiness. Formulations that produced clear, non-tacky films were tested on hardwood floor t~les as follows: 5 ml of a given formulation was applied to a 6 inch by 6 inch prefi n; ~hed TopFlor Oak Grain Parquet Genuine Hardwood Floor Tile and wiped clean over the surface with a damp sponge. After air dyring, the 60 specular gloss was measured before and after cleaning using a BYK-Gardner micro-TRI-gloss gloss meter, and the change in gloss was calculated. The results are shown below in Table 3.

Suitable film-formers are acrylic emulsions, such as Esi-Cryl~ 405 sold by Emulsion Systems Inc., which is a copolymer of 2-methyl-2-propopenoic acid with ethyl-2-propenoate, methyl-2-methylpropenoate and 2-propenoic acid; styrene acrylic emulsion sold as Carboset0 (Union Carbide); acrylic emulsions sold as Conrez~ (Morton Int.); and Joncryl~ (S.C. Johnson).
95/~611 ~1 ~ G D 9 ~ PCT~S94/03999 The combination of components (c) and (d) in the compositions forms a barrier of a water-film on the hardwood surface which prevents or reduces contact of the surface with oil or dirt thus keeping the appearance of the surface shiny and clean-looking.
Component (e) of the composition is water, or alcohol, or mixtures thereof, in an amount of about 85-95%, preferably 88-93%, by weight of the composition.
Optional ingredients in the composition of the invention include a neutralizing agent for the acrylic em~lsion to make it clear; a plasticizer; a fragrance; a bittering agent; dyes; and auxiliary surfactants to improve leveling.
The composition may be applied to a wood surface by spraying, then damp mopping, or the concentrate may be added to a bucket of water, mixed, and then applied using a damp mop.

Then 5.0 g of each formulation was applied onto a clean glass plate, and wiped evenly with a damp sponge and allowed to air-dry. The resultant appearance of the film was evaluated for clarity and tackiness. Formulations that produced clear, non-tacky films were tested on hardwood floor t~les as follows: 5 ml of a given formulation was applied to a 6 inch by 6 inch prefi n; ~hed TopFlor Oak Grain Parquet Genuine Hardwood Floor Tile and wiped clean over the surface with a damp sponge. After air dyring, the 60 specular gloss was measured before and after cleaning using a BYK-Gardner micro-TRI-gloss gloss meter, and the change in gloss was calculated. The results are shown below in Table 3.
