Abstract:
A blooming, germicidal hard surface cleaning and disinfecting concentrate composition which comprises:0.1-10% wt. of a terpene containing solvent which includes both pin oil and d-limonene;0.1-12% wt. of at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of:C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alcohols, glycol ethers and glycols;0. 1-20% wt. of at least one non-ionic surfactant constituent which includes at least one nonionic surfactant having an HLB of greater than or equal to 10, and at least one nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of less than or equal to 8;a bloom enhancing effective amount of at least one amphoteric surfactant selected from the group consisting of: alkylampho(mono)- and alkylampho(di)-acetates;optionally a further nonionic surfactant based on a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 primary alcohol ethoxylate which exhibits a cloud point of 20.degree. C. in water;a germicidally effective amount of at least one cationic surfactant having germicidal properties according to the structure: ##STR8## wherein; at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is selected from hydrophobic aliphatic, aryl aliphatic or aliphatic aryl groups of from 6 to 26 carbon atoms, and any remaining R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.4 are hydrocarbons of no more than 12 carbon atoms, wherein any of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 may be linear or branched and may include one or more ester or amide linkages; andX is a salt-forming anionic radical; and, the balance, to 100% wt. of water.
