Claim:
A cleaning composition, the composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition: (a) a blend of dibasic esters comprising 1% to 99% by weight of a blend of (i) a dialkyl methylglutarate and (ii) at least one of a dialkyl adipate or a dialkyl ethylsuccinate; and (b) 1% to 75% by weight a surfactant blend of at least two surfactants comprising (i) at least one cationic surfactant selected from the group consisting of cationic ethoxylated fatty amines, alkyl dimethylamines, alkyl amidopropylamines, cycloalkyl amine, alkyl imidazoline derivatives, quaternised amine ethoxylates, quaternary ammonium compounds and (ii) at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkylbenzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, paraffin sulfonates, alkyl ester sulfonates, alkyl ether phosphates, alkyl sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate, alkyl ether sulphates, alkyl alkoxy sulfates, alkyl sulfonates, alkyl alkoxy carboxylates, alkyl alkoxylated sulfates, monoalkyl phosphates, dialkyl phosphates, alkyl naphthalene sulphonates, alkyl phosphates, alkyl benzene sulphonic acids, alkyl benzene sulphonic acid salts, alkyl phenol ether phosphates, alkyl phenol ether sulphates, alpha olefin sulphonates, sarcosinates, sulfosuccinates, isethionates, polyoxyethylene tridecyl ether phosphates, polyoxyethylene dodecylbenzene sulfonates, and taurates; whereby the cleaning composition is capable of auto-emulsifying upon contact with water.
