Germicidal, acidic hard surface cleaning compositions

A method of cleaning and disinfecting a hard surface which comprises:

• applying to the surface a stain releasing and disinfecting effective amount of a composition comprising:
• from about 0.1-10% by weight of an acid sequestrant constituent which comprises citric acid, and an acid selected from lactic, glycolic, and tartaric;
• from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic solvents where said hydrophobic solvent exhibits a solubility in water of from 0.0-20.0 ml per 100 ml of water, which comprises 50-99% wt. of said mixture of solvents and which is selected from:
• mineral spirits, tripropylene glycol n-butyl ether, propylene glycol phenyl ether, dipropylene glycol n-propyl ether, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, propylene glycol n-butyl ether, dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, and mixtures thereof, and wherein said hydrophilic solvent comprises 1-50% wt. of said mixture of solvents, said said hydrophilic solvent selected from the group:
• glycol methyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, tripropylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol n-propyl ether, ethylene glycol n-butyl ether, diethylene glycol n-butyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol mono-butyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, and mixtures thereof;
• from about 1 to about 8% by weight of a single constituent which exhibits both anionic surfactant and hydrotrope properties selected from the group:
• alkyl phenoxybenzene disulfonates and alkyl naphthalene sulfonates;
• 0-20% by weight of one or more optional constituents;
• and
• the balance to 100% by weight, water
• wherein the aqueous hard surface cleaning and disinfecting composition exhibits a pH of 7.0 or less;
• and,
• wiping said composition off said surface.
