Abstract

The present invention relates to a surfactant system and a consumable detergent composition comprising the same.

Claims

1. A lipophilic fluid-based cleaning solution comprising a lipophilic fluid and a consumable detergent composition, said detergent composition comprising:

a) from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of the composition of a silicone surfactant;

b) from about 0.1% to about 85% by weight of the composition of an additional nonionic surfactant;

c) from about 10% to about 45% by weight of the composition of a gemini surfactant;

d) from about 0.1% to about 50% by weight of the composition of a polar solvent; and

e) from about 5% to about 40% by weight of the composition of a fatty acid, a fatty acid salt, or mixtures thereof.

2. The cleaning solution according to claim 1, wherein the lipophilic fluid is selected from the group consisting of siloxanes, hydrocarbons, glycol ethers, glycerin ethers, perfluorinated amines, perfluorinated and hydrofluoroether solvents, and mixtures thereof.

3. The cleaning solution according to claim 2 wherein the lipophilic fluid is liner or cyclic siloxanes.
