Self-thickened aqueous cleaning compositions are described which comprise an alkyl sulfate anionic surfactant and an electrolyte system. The compositions are made physically stable, even at low temperature, by incorporating therein a nonionic surfactant from a selected class.

Cleaning compositions with short chain nonionic surfactants

Acidic cleaning compositions

Maleic acid-based aqueous cleaning compositions and methods of using same

Process for using detergent compositions comprising a surfactant system that is either (1) a mixture of nonionic and zwitterionic detergent surfactants; (2) a mixture of nonionic and amphoteric (non-zwitterionic) detergent surfactants, preferably; or (3) short chain nonionic detergent surfactant, the nonionic detergent surfactants preferably being short chain and/or having peaked distribution; optional hydrophobic cleaning solvent; and polycarboxylate, especially dicarboxylate, detergent builder provide superior cleaning of all of the soils commonly found in the bathroom. The compositions have a pH of from about 1 to about 5.5, preferably from about 2 to about 4 when the dicarboxylate builder is used. The compositions are in the form of aqueous liquids. Short chain peaked distribution nonionic detergent suffactants provide surprisingly superior sudsing characteristics.
