The invention relates to a water soluble container which containing
concentrate composition useful for hard surface disinfecting and cleaning
comprising: (a) at least one cationic surfactant having germicidal
properties; (b) at least one non-ionic surfactant; (c) at least one
organic solvent having a solubility in water of at least 4% wt.; (d)
optionally, at least one alkanolamine; (e) optionally, at least one
polyethylene glycol; and (f) optionally, up to about 10% wt. of one or
more conventional additives selected from coloring agents, fragrances and
fragrance solubilizers, viscosity modifying agents, other surfactants,
other antimicrobial/germicidal agents, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers
including organic and inorganic salts, optical brighteners, opacifying
agents, hydrotropes, antifoaming agents, enzymes, anti-spotting agents,
anti-oxidants, preservatives, and anti-corrosion agents; wherein said
concentrate composition contains no more than 20% wt. water, and
desirably contains less. The water soluble containers can be made by
thermoforming or injection molding. Methods for the manufacture of such
containers containing the concentrate compositions and methods for the
treatment of hard surfaces using the concentrate compositions and
especially aqueous dilutions of the concentrate compositions are
disclosed.
