Abstract
A low-foaming machine dishwashing composition comprising an aqueous thickener, a non-ionic surfactant and water, in the form of a gel having a minimum yield point of at least 1170 is disclosed. The dishwashing composition can additionally contain builders such as sequestering agents, pH control agents, and corrosion inhibitors. The use of such compositions in the form of a gel substantially reduces the loss of a portion of the detergent due to leakage from the dishwasher dispenser cup prior to utilization during the washing cycle.
