Abstract:
A blooming, hard surface cleaning concentrate compositions comprising:0.1-10% wt. of a terpene containing solvent;1-12% wt. of at least one organic solvent other than a terpene containing solvent;0.1-20% wt. of a nonionic surfactant system which includes both at least one non-ionic surfactant having an HLB of greater than or equal to 10, and at least one nonionic surfactant based on a C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 primary alcohol ethoxylate which exhibits a cloud point of about 20.degree. C. or less in water;a bloom enhancing effective amount at least one amphoteric surfactant selected from alkylampho(mono)acetates and alkylampho (di)acetates, alkylampho(mono)propionates, alkylampho(di)propionates, and aminopropionates;and the balance, to 100% wt. of waterwherein the concentrate compositions are characterized in that when the concentrate compositions are diluted at a ratio of 1 part to 64 parts water at 20.degree. C. or 40.degree. C. the resultant mixture exhibits a light transmittance loss of at least 50%.
