CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/432,499, filed December 14, 2022, the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Solid cleaning composition existed previously in the form of granular or "dry" laundry detergent products. However, such compositions are specifically formulated for cleaning performance in laundry detergent applications and offer poor performance in terms of imparting a reduction in bacteria on various surfaces. Therefore, a need exists for a solid cleaning composition that can impart antibacterial cleaning characteristics.

[0024] It has been surprisingly discovered that the antibacterial composition comprising the combination of sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine provides an unexpected improvement in the reduction of bacteria in a solid cleaning composition. As discussed in greater detail herein - it has been discovered that the combination of sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine provides an unexpected reduction in at least the bacteria including E. Coli, S. Typhimurium, S. Aureus, P. Aeruginosa - for relatively fast contact times of the cleaning composition once in a dissolved state (i.e., less than about 10 minutes).
[0025] The cleaning composition may be effervescent. The cleaning component may comprise an effervescent component. The effervescent component may, on contact with water, cause the cleaning composition to produce a bubble-forming effect. The effervescence may be as a result of gas trapped in the matrix of the particle being released when the particle contacts water, or more usually, is the result of a reaction which takes place between two or more reactants present in the effervescence particle which, on contact with water react with one another to produce a gas.
[0026] The time an effervescent product takes to dissolve is affected by several factors. In addition to the environment in which it is used, key among these factors are: its form (tablet, granule or powder); its size and its density; its hardness and the formulation itself. Effervescent compositions - such as the cleaning composition of the present invention - may dissolve quickly, generally within a few seconds. Such effervescent compositions may react immediately, generally on the surface of the water.
[0027] The effervescent component may be present in an amount ranging from about 22 wt. % to about 40 wt. % - based on the total weight of the cleaning composition, including all percentages and sub-ranges there-between. In some embodiments, the effervescent component may be present

In some embodiments, the carbonate salt and the acid source may be present in a weight ratio ranging from about 1.5:1 to about 4.8:1 - including all ratios and sub-ranges there-between.

[0030] Non-limiting examples of the carbonate salt include sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, Potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate, and calcium carbonate. In some embodiments, the carbonate salt of the effervescent component is an alkali metal bicarbonate. In some embodiments, the alkali metal bicarbonate is sodium bicarbonate.
[0031] Non-limiting examples of acid sources include solid organic, mineral or inorganic acids, salts or derivatives thereof or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the acid source may be mono-, bi- or tri-protonic acids. Such acids may include mono- or polycarboxyhc acids - such as citric acid, adipic acid, glutatric acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, salicylic acid and malonic acid. Such acids may be in their acidic form. Alternatively, the acid source may be include esters of the acids. In some embodiments, the acid source is one or more of citric acid and malic acid. In some embodiments, the acid source is citric acid. The acid source, such as any the foregoing acids, may be incorporated as a salt thereof.
[0032] The acid source of the effervescent component may be present in an amount ranging from about 5 wt. % to about 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition - including all percentages and sub-ranges there-between. For example, the acid source may be present in the cleaning composition in an amount from about 5 wt. % to about 15 wt. %, about 5 wt. % to about 12 wt. %, about 5 wt. % to about 9 wt. %, about 5 wt. % to about 7 wt. %; from about 7 wt. % to about 15 wt. %, about 7 wt. % to about 12 wt. %, about 7 wt. % to about 9 wt. %; from about 9 wt. % to about 15 wt. %, about 9 wt. % to about 12 wt. %; from about 11 wt. % to about 15 wt. %, about 11 wt. % to about 13 wt. %, about 12 wt. % to about 15 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition - including all percentages and sub-ranges there-between. In some
embodiments, the acid source of the effervescent component may be present in an amount ranging from about 6 wt. % to about 12 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition - including all percentages and sub-ranges there-bet ween.
[0033] The carbonate salt and/or bicarbonate salt of the effervescent component may be present in an amount ranging from about 15 wt. % to about 35 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cleaning composition - including all percentages and sub-ranges there-between.

[0034] The cleaning composition may comprise a separate and/or additional alkaline source. The separate and/or additional alkaline source may be incorporated into the cleaning composition in order to enhance cleaning of a substrate and/or improve impurity removal performance of the cleaning composition. If needed, the separate alkaline source may be incorporated into the cleaning composition to impart an alkaline pH - as discussed.
[0035] The separate and/or additional alkaline source may comprise one or more of an alkali metal carbonate and/or an alkali metal hydroxide.
