A phosphate and phosphonate-free gel automatic dishwashing detergent provides improved spotting and filming performance by including a spot reduction system that contains a combination of a polyacrylate and a carboxymethyl inulin. The gel detergent may also be free of a bleach ingredient (i.e., it does not contain either chlorine bleach or an oxygen bleach).

A cleaning and protectant composition for automotive painted surfaces is provided. The composition includes a low-foaming nonionic surfactant, a silicone antifoam emulsion, and a volatile silicone fluid. A method of cleaning and protecting an automotive surface includes applying the composition to the surface.

Soil separation apparatus includes a container, such as a bucket, from which cleaning liquid is taken and to which that liquid is returned after is has been used for dirt removal. The container is provided with a soil separator. The separator has at least one associated projection and depression, and preferably, a plurality of associated projections and depressions. The separator is positioned in the container to receive dirt settling under gravity from the contained liquid and, in particular, onto the depressions. The form and structure of the separator is such that disturbance of the liquid in the container does not wash the collected dirt back out into the main body of liquid to a significant extent.

Light duty lubricant compositions containing volatile silicones are prepared which when applied to metal surfaces show improved penetration and spreadability. Preferably, the composition includes a volatile silicone fluid, a hydrocarbon solvent such as mineral spirits, a lubricating oil soluble in a hydrocarbon base such as hydrocarbon oils and optionally a corrosion inhibitor such as petroleum oxidates. An aerosol propellant is contained in one preferred embodiment of the light duty lubricant composition. In an additional preferred embodiment, a method of freeing frozen or corroded parts with a light duty lubricant composition is disclosed.
