A cleaning composition may comprise a pH-switchable sudsing system and a cleansing system. The pH-switchable sudsing system may comprise a primary sudsing agent in combination with a pH-switchable co-surfactant. The pH-switchable co-surfactant is selected from diamine molecules having a general formula R

一种清洁组合物可以包括一个pH可切换的起泡系统和一个清洁系统。pH可切换的起泡系统可能包括与pH可切换的共同表面活性剂相结合的主要起泡剂。pH可切换的共同表面活性剂选自具有一般公式R1R2—N—R3—N+(
CH3)3X−的二胺分子,其中R1是直链或支链的C8到C16烃基,R2是直链或支链的C1到C3烃基,R3是直链或支链的C3到C6烃基,X是一个对阴离子。pH可切换的共同表面活性剂的三级胺氮原子具有pKa值。当三级胺氮原子未质子化时,pH可切换的共同表面活性剂可以在洗涤溶液中提供增泡效果,其洗涤pH高于pKa值。当三级胺氮原子质子化时,pH可切换的共同表面活性剂可以在冲洗
水中提供减泡益处,其冲洗pH低于pKa值。
