Claims
- 1. A cleaning composition comprising:
- (a) about 3.0 wt. % to about 40 wt. % of a negatively charged complex comprising:
- (i) at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkali metal salts of sulfonates, alkali metal salts of sulfates, alkaline earth metal salts of sulfonates and alkaline earth metal salts of sulfates; and
- (ii) a zwitterionic surfactant, being complexed with said anionic surfactant;
- (b) about 0.1 to about 50 wt. % of a glycol ether cosurfactant;
- (c) about 0.4 to about 10 wt. % of a water insoluble hydrocarbon or a perfume;
- (d) 0.5% to 10% of a Lewis base, neutral polymer, wherein said Lewis base neutral polymer is polyvinyl pyrrolidone; and
- (e) the balance being water and the composition is a microemulsion composition and does not contain a grease release agent having the formula: ##STR10## wherein X is hydrogen or an alkali metal cation and n is a number from 2 to 16, R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of methyl or hydrogen, R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 linear or branched chained alkyl group and R.sub.3 is a C.sub.2 to C.sub.16 linear or branched chained alkyl group and y is of such value as to provide a molecular weight about 5,000 to about 15,000 or a polyethylene glycol or an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant or an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant.
- 2. The cleaning composition of claim 1 which further contains a salt of a multivalent metal cation.
- 3. The cleaning composition of claim 2 wherein the multivalent metal cation is magnesium or aluminum.
- 4. The cleaning composition of claim 2, wherein said composition contains 0.9 to 1.4 equivalents of said cation per equivalent of anionic surfactant.
- 5. The cleaning composition of claim 3 wherein said multivalent salt is magnesium oxide or magnesium sulfate.
- 6. The cleaning composition of claim 1 further including fatty acid which has 8 to 22 carbon atoms.
- 7. The cleaning composition of claim 1 wherein the glycol ether is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol monobutylether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol monobutylether, poly-propylene glycol having an average molecular weight of from 200 to 1,000 and dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol tert.butyl ether, mono, di, tri propylene glycol monobutyl ether.
- 8. The cleaning composition of claim 7 wherein the glycol ether is ethylene glycol monobu ether or diethylene glycol monobutyl ether.
