The present technology relates to dilution thickening surfactant concentrates and cleaning compositions prepared from same. The neat concentrate upon dilution with water exhibits a viscosity higher than the viscosity of the neat concentrate before dilution. The dilution thickening surfactant concentrate comprises: (a) a surfactant chassis comprising (i) a nonionic surfactant component comprising a fatty alcohol ethoxylate and a polysorbate; and (ii) an anionic surfactant component comprising a C10-C16 alkylbenzene sulfonic acid and salts thereof; (b) a polyethoxylated alkyl glucoside ester component; (c) one or more electrolytes; (d) optionally one or more benefit agent(s); and (e) water. Methods of preparing the neat concentrate are also disclosed.
A neat concentrate for dilution with water, said neat concentrate upon dilution with water results in a composition having an increased viscosity compared to the neat concentrate, said neat concentrate comprises:
