A solid cleaner for heated surfaces is disclosed. The solid cleaner includes a solidifying agent including wax, and a cleaning agent. The solid cleaner is solid at room temperature and liquid at an elevated temperature. Methods of cleaning a heated surface and cleaning articles are also disclosed.

Solid cleaners for heated food preparation surfaces

Improved cleaning compositions are described that are efficient in removing both food and industrial grease, heel marks, and the like from hard surfaces, wherein improved cleaning compositions contain certain nonionic surfactants and quaternary amine salts, when combined with a slightly water-soluble polar organic compound that have a surprising synergistic effect resulting in a marked improvement in the removal of hydrocarbon-containing soils as shown by decreased soaking times required for soil removal.

Cleaning composition

An aqueous polishing composition comprising a film forming polymer and an ionic silicone surfactant is described. The polish can be applied to a variety of substrates, particularly to floor surfaces. The coatings are smooth and soil resistant. The polish composition performs as well as state-of-the-art formulations containing a fluorocarbon surfactant.
