Preparation and studying of the physiochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of new triple-action glass cleaners

During the global health crisis that caused by the Corona pandemic, the development of detergent products has become necessary to confront the spreading of viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Here, three types (X, Y, and Z) of new triple-action glass cleaners (cleaning, polishing, and sterilizing) were prepared from locally available, low cost, and alcohol-free chemicals. The new glass cleaners were prepared by mixing the preservative, color, and perfume with Cocamidopropyl betaine as a surfactant and 5%, 3%, and 1% of Chloroxylenol, Povidone, and Sodium hypochlorite solutions were added as sterilizers respectively. The second part also included the study of some physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of the products such as boiling point, pH, viscosity, water solubility, stability and anti-bacterial. In the end, the prepared products were compared with two commercial products (A & B). It was found that the new products possess high cleaning, polishing, and sterilization properties.
