A microemulsion composition comprising approximately by weight:
- (a) 0.1% to 5% of a proton donating agent,
- (b) 0 to 4% of at least one disinfecting agent, wherein said disinfecting agent is selected from the group consisting of triclosan, perfumes and essential oils and mixtures thereof;
- (c) 0 to 10% of an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant formed from a C9-C11 alkanol and about 6 to about 9 moles of ethylene oxide;
- (d) 0.1% to about 4.0% of an ethoxylated nonionic surfactant formed from a C9-C11 alkanol and about 2 to about 3 moles of ethylene oxide;
- (e) 0.1% to 10% of an amphoteric surfactant;
- (f) 1.0% to 10% of at least two different glycol ethers, wherein one of said glycol ethers is a propylene glycol alkyl ether, wherein the alkyl group has 1 to 5 carbon atoms and the other glycol ether is an ethylene glycol alkyl ether, wherein the alkyl group has 1 to 5 carbon atoms;
- (g) an anionic surfactant;
- and
- (h) the balance being water, wherein the composition does not contain an amine oxide surfactant, a cationic surfactant or an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant.
