Abstract
Abstract An aqueous composition for impregnating a nonwoven wipe having a pH of from 3.5 to 4.5 and containing a preservative system comprising potassium sorbate, citric acid, disodium EDTA and a cationic biocide selected from polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride and poly[oxyethylene(dimethyliminio)ethylene(dimethyliminio)ethylene dichloride]; and a moistened wipe, impregnated with the aqueous composition, useful for cleaning or delivering active ingredients to animate and inanimate surfaces.
