Claims
- 1. A cleaning and deodorizing composition comprising:a cyclic organic solvent; an ether of an oligomeric glycol; a monoether of a monomeric glycol; a derivative of an alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid; an amine-aldehyde adduct deodorizing additive; and water.
- 2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is in an oil-in-water microemulsion state and water is in the range of from about 20% to about 99.9%, by weight, of the composition.
- 3. The composition of claim 2, wherein the cyclic organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of monocyclic terpenes, bicyclic terpenes and mixtures thereof.
- 4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the oligomeric glycol has from two to about fifty monomeric units and the monomeric units are selected from the group consisting of C2 to C10 carbon backbone and mixtures thereof, wherein the backbone is linear or branched.
- 5. The composition of claim 1, wherein the monomeric glycol is selected from the group consisting of C2 to C10 linear alkyl glycols, C3 to C10 branched alkyl glycols and mixtures thereof.
- 6. The composition of claim 1, wherein the derivative is selected from the group consisting of acid, salt, NH4+, organoammonium salt and mixtures thereof; and the alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid consists essentially of at least one alkylbenzene sulfonic acid.
- 7. The composition of claim 1, wherein the ether is selected from the group consisting of di(propylene glycol) mono-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers, di(propylene glycol) di-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers, di(ethylene glycol) mono-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers, di(ethylene glycol) di-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers and mixtures thereof.
- 8. The composition of claim 1, wherein the monoether is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol mono-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers, propylene glycol mono-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers, butylene glycol mono-C1 to C6 alkyl ethers and mixtures thereof.
- 9. The composition of claim 1, whereinthe cyclic organic solvent consists essentially of from about 0.5% to about 75% of d-limonene; the ether consists essentially of from about 0.5% to about 30% of di(propylene glycol) methyl ether; the monoether consists essentially of from about 0.2% to about 30% of 1-t-butoxy-2-propanol; the derivative consists essentially of from about 0.5% to about 45% of ammonium salt of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid; the deodorizing additive is present at a concentration of from about 0.01% to about 50%; and the water is present at a concentration of from about 20% to about 99.9%, all by weight, of the composition.
