Cleaning composition containing polymer microemulsion

A process for cleaning hands comprising:

• applying a storage stable composition comprising:
• a liquid oil or a malleable wax present from 0.1 to 9.9 total weight percent;
• an emulsifier present from 0.01 to 10 total weight percent;
• an alkylene glycol present from 0.002 to 11 total weight percent;
• a microemulsion present from 0.2 to 15 total weight percent;
• at least one of an abrasive present from 2 to 20 total weight percent or a skin emollient present from 0.005 to 3 total weight percent;
• and water forming a majority of the composition, the composition remaining monophasic for at least 4 months storage at 20° Celsius;
• allowing sufficient time for the composition to interact with a lipophilic substance on the hands;
• and
• removing the composition and a portion of said lipophilic substance from the hands.

A process for cleaning an inanimate substrate coated with a lipophilic substance comprising:

• applying a storage stable composition to the lipophilic substance, the composition comprising:
• a liquid oil or a malleable wax present from 0.1 to 9.9 total weight percent;
• an emulsifier present from 0.01 to 10 total weight percent;
• an alkylene glycol present from 0.002 to 11 total weight percent;
• a microemulsion present from 0.2 to 15 total weight percent;
• at least one of an abrasive present from 2 to 20 total weight percent or a skin emollient present from 0.005 to 3 total weight percent;
• and water forming a majority of the composition, the composition remaining monophasic for at least 4 months storage at 20° Celsius;
• allowing sufficient time for the composition to interact with a lipophilic substance on the substrate;
• and
• removing the composition and a portion of said lipophilic substance from the substrate.
