A liquid disinfectant composition comprises a quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant and a cellulose-based thickener in an amount of ≤2 % by weight of the composition, wherein the composition has a viscosity of at least 500 mPas at 20 °C. The quaternary ammonium salt may be selected from the group consisting of dialkyldimethylammonium chlorides, preferably di-n-decyldimethylammonium chloride, N-octadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride, or N-hexadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride, and benzalkonium chlorides. Suitably, the cellulosic thickener is selected from the group consisting of cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose or the sodium salt thereof, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, cellulose acetate and mixtures thereof. The composition can be an aqueous composition. Preferably, the composition further comprises a component selected from the group consisting of perfumes, dyes, preservatives, surfactants, organic solvents, pH modifiers and mixtures thereof. A liquid cleaning agent comprising the disinfectant composition is also claimed. The use of the liquid disinfectant composition for cleaning and/or sanitizing an object, preferably a hard surface, is also disclosed. |
