Botanical oils as blooming agents in germicidal hard surface cleaning compositions

An aqueous concentrated liquid disinfectant composition which blooms when added to a larger volume of water which comprises the following constituents:

• from 0.001% to 20% wt. of a botanical oil constituent;
• from 0.001% to about 15% wt. of a germicidal cationic surfacant having germicidal properties;
• from about 0.001% to about 50% wt. of an organic solvent constituent;
• at least one botanical oil solubilizing surfactant, selected from amine oxides present in an amount of from about 0.001% to about 30% wt.,
• alkylpolyoxycarboxylates and alkylarylpolyoxycarboxylates present in an amount of from about 0.001% to about 20% wt.;
• from about 0.001 to about 10% wt. of a biphenyl solvent constituent having the formula;
• ##STR4## wherein:
• R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a straight chained or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 radical,
• R.sub.2 is a straight chained or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 radical,
• m is an integer from 1-3 inclusive;
• and,
• n is an integer from 1-3 inclusive,
• optionally one or more constituents selected from:
• chelating agents, coloring agents, light stabilizers, fragrances, thickening agents, hydrotropes, pH adjusting agents, pH buffers and one or more detersive surfactant constituents,
• characterized in that the composition does not contain pine oil.
