A dissolvable pad for delivery of a solution to a surface includes a water soluble substrate, and a solution retained in or on said water soluble substrate and available for use without activation by water. The water soluble substrate is soluble in water so as to be safely disposable into public water systems by exposing it to water after the solution therein has been desirably employed. Because the solution in the water soluble substrate is available for use without exposing the substrate to water, the substrate may function as an applicator, and, in some embodiments, as a scrubbing substrate as well.

A skin cleansing composition suitable for removing ink and other stains from the hands and arms of a user includes an effective amount of a low molecular weight alcohol having from one to twelve carbon atoms and an effective amount of a peroxide releasing agent, e.g., a perborate salt, preferably sodium perborate, such that together, the alcohol and perborate salt provide a synergistic reaction that effectively removes ink from the skin of the user. Other additives such as fillers, abrasives, and detergents may be employed to provide further cleansing action.

Skin cleansing composition for removing ink

A skin cleansing composition suitable for removing ink and other stains from the hands and arms of a user includes an effective amount of a low molecular weight alcohol having from one to twelve carbon atoms and an effective amount of a peroxide releasing agent, e.g., a percarbonate salt, preferably sodium percarbonate, such that together, the alcohol and percarbonate salt provide a synergistic reaction that effectively removes ink from the skin of the user. Other additives such as fillers, abrasives, and detergents may be employed to provide further cleansing action.

An originally viscous, non-flowable and non-pumpable cleaning composition made less viscous, and flowable and pumpable by the addition of at least one thickening agent to the composition. The cleaning composition includes an oil phase including at least one of a hydrocarbon oil and a hydrocarbon solvent and mixtures thereof, and at least one of a fatty acid and a non-fatty acid soap surfactant; and a water phase including water and a base. The addition of at least one thickening agent in various amounts relative to the amount of water in the composition makes the composition flowable. In particular, the addition of from about 2 to about 38 percent by weight of at least one thickening agent has been found to be suitable to provide a flowable composition containing between about 30 and 55 percent water. A method for the preparation of flowable cleaning compositions is also provided. The cleaning composition (13) forms a novel combination with a container (10) as a replacement element for dispensing apparatus.

Flowable, pumpable cleaning compositions and method for the preparation

An originally viscous, non-flowable and non-pumpable cleaning composition made less viscous, flowable and pumpable by the addition of psyllium husks to the composition. The cleaning composition includes an oil phase including at least one of a hydrocarbon oil and a hydrocarbon solvent and mixtures thereof, and at least one of a fatty acid and a non-fatty acid soap surfactant; and the water phase including water and a base. The addition of psyllium husks in various amounts relative to the amount of water in the composition makes the composition flowable. In particular, the addition of from about 2 to about 38 percent by weight of psyllium husks has been found to be suitable to provide a flowable composition containing between about 30 and 55 percent water.
