Cleaner/degreaser concentrate compositions

A substantially nonaqueous concentrate for use in preparing a stable, aqueous cleaner/degreaser composition in the form of a totally water soluble solution comprising:

• (a) at least one sparingly water soluble organic solvent characterized by:
• (i) having a water solubility in the range of approximately 0.2 to approximately 6 weight percent of the totally water soluble solution formed from said concentrate;
• (ii) not being a hydrocarbon or halocarbon;
• (iii) having oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus containing functional groups;
• (iv) being a solvent for hydrophobic soilants and
• (v) being present in an amount exceeding its aqueous solubility in the totally water soluble solution formed from said concentrate;
• (b) a solubilizing additive consisting of from approximately 0.1 to approximately 100 weight percent of a surfactant and from 0 to approximately 99.9 weight percent of a coupler, said solubilizing additive being present in an amount of approximately 3% to approximately 15% by weight excess over that minimally required to form a clear solution when said concentrate is combined with water;
• and
• (c) not more than 10.0 weight percent of water;
• (d) said concentrate forming a barely clear, totally water soluble solution when diluted with water to produce a solution having the desired cleaning/degreasing strength.
