A solid block detergent composition is described which can be dispensed with a water spray to form an aqueous detergent for cutting and removing grease, removing and suspending soils and rinsing easily leaving cleaned ware. The aqueous detergent concentrate can be used in a cleaning liquid having exceptional soil, particularly grease removing properties with stable foam properties. The solid block detergent contains a package of surfactants including a neutralized anionic surfactant with either one or a mixture of an alkali and alkaline earth metal salt thereof and an alkylpolyglycoside. The active ingredients and polyethylene glycol as a hardening agent are dispersed in a matrix which hardens to form a solid block.

The invention provides a process for preparing a homogeneous, urea-based, solid cleaning composition, without the application of heat from an external source to melt the urea. Cleaning compositions for use in warewashing and cleaning hard surfaces, rinsing, sanitizing, deodorizing, and the like, made by the method are also provided. Preferably, the ingredients are processed in an extruder, and the mixture is extruded directly into a mold or other packaging system for dispensing the detergent. The consistency of the composition ranges from that of a fused solid block to a malleable article.

Method of making urea-based solid cleaning compositions

Uniform, microscopic perforated water soluble film is herein described, and its use in packaging solid, pelletized or particulate detersire compositions containing strong acids, strong bases or a source of halogen whereby the package provides air to pass through without leakage of its contents. Also described is a method of manufacture of a sealed, water soluble, detersire package with microscopic perforations and an apparatus for said manufacture.
