A hard surface liquid detergent with desirable cleansing properties comprises a C anionic surfactant, a phenoxy alkanol, a hydroxy aliphatic acid and water.

Acidic all purpose liquid cleaning compositions

An improvement is described in compositions which is especially effective in disinfecting the surface being cleaned and in the removal of oily and greasy soil which contains at least one nonionic surfactant, a hydrocarbon ingredient, a water soluble solvent, a bactericide and water.

All Purpose liquid cleaning compositions

An improvement is described in the liquid crystal composition or the microemulsion compositions, which is especially effective in the removal of oily and greasy soil and having an evidenced grease release effect, contains an anionic detergent, an ethoxylated glycerol type compound, a hydrocarbon ingredient, and water which comprises the use of a water-insoluble odoriferous perfume as the essential hydrocarbon ingredient in a proportion sufficient to form a dilute o/w microemulsion composition containing, by weight, 1% to 20% of an anionic detergent, 0.1 to 50% of a cosurfactant, 0.1% to 10% of the ethoxylated glycerol type compound, 0 to 1.0% of an aldehyde, 0.4% to 10% of perfume and the balance being water.

Cleaning and disinfecting composition in microemulsion/liquid crystal

An acidic thickened composition which is sprayable and readily clings to vertical walls and is effective in removing heavy encrusted lime scale and soap scum.

Thickened acid composition

The present invention relates to an aqueous gelled cleaning composition which is useful for the removal of grease or tar without any mechanical action. In particular, the instant compositions are derived from three liquid phases which merge together at the tricritical point to form one continuum forming the gelled aqueous cleaning composition, wherein the three phases incorporate at least a polar solvent, a non-polar solvent or weakly polar solvent and a water soluble or water low molecular weight water dispersible amphiphile and the composition contains a noncrosslinked polymer.

Gelled near tricritical point compositions

Environmentally safe, stable, pourable aqueous fabric softening compositions based on the combination of a quaternary ammonium compound and an amido amine. The softener combination comprises from as little as 1% and up to 60% and preferably 2 to 20% by weight of the composition. Methods for making the composition are also described. Softening performance is outstanding and the compositions are simple to prepare, even the more highly concentrated forms. The softener compositions are primarily intended for use in the rinse cycle of an automatic washing machine.
