Abstract
Aqueous concentrated liquid hard surface cleaning compositions which bloom when added to a larger volume of water which comprises the following constituents: PA1 botanical oil constituent; PA1 at least one botanical oil solubilizing surfactant which is preferably an amine oxide surfactant; PA1 a binary solvent system which includes at least one organic alcohol constituent and at least one glycol solvent constituent; PA1 optionally but desirably a polyoxycarboxylate constituent; PA1 optionally but desirably an effective amount of a chelating agent which includes at least one non-ionized acetate group, most preferably a mono-, di- or tri- alkali or alkaline ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; PA1 optionally but desirably at least one optional constituent selected from: chelating agents, coloring agents, light stabilizers, fragrances, thickening agents, hydrotropes, pH adjusting agents, pH buffers one or more detersive surfactant constituents particularly non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants, as well as others known the art. The one or more optional constituents are selected to be present, and are included in amounts which do not undesirably affect the overall blooming characteristics of…
