A pourable, storage-stable manual dishwashing detergent is provided. The detergent contains at least 45 percent sodium bicarbonate with a mean particle diameter of at least 150 micrometers. The sodium bicarbonate is combined with an anionic surfactant, an alkyl polyglycoside surfactant, a zwitterionic surfactant an electrolyte and optionally a solvent, to form the detergent. The detergent of the invention has good pouring properties and excellent cleaning performance against dried-on and burnt-on soil.

The stability in storage and flowability of liquid water-based alkyl glycoside preparations of relatively low concentration were to be improved and their handling under in-use conditions was to be facilitated by an increase in viscosity with very small quantities of non-alkyl-glycoside active substance. This was achieved by gel-form aqueous mixtures consisting essentially of 2% by weight to 15% by weight of an alkyl glycoside corresponding to the formula R.sup.1 --O(G).sub.n, in which R.sup.1 is an alkyl radical containing 8 to 22 C atoms, G is a glycose unit and n is a number of 1 to 10, 0.05% by weight to 2% by weight of an anionic surfactant of the sulfate or sulfonate type, the ratio by weight of alkyl glycoside to sulfate and/or sulfonate being 40:1 to 5:1, and 83% by weight to 97.95% by weight water or a mixture of water with a water-miscible organic solvent.
