Abstract
A hard surface highly viscous cleaning composition comprising by weight about 65-80% of an organic liquid vehicle consisting essentially of about 15-35% water miscible organic solvents and about 35-70% of a nonionic surfactant mixture containing an ethoxylated fatty acid as one of the surfactants, and sodium hydroxide which reacts in situ with the ethoxylated fatty acid to form a clear organic, nonflowable gelled vehicle, substantially free of water. Another feature of this invention is the stable suspension of about 10-25% of a water soluble particulate builder-abrasive in said nonflowable organic gel which is in the form of a viscous cleaning gel product.

A hard surface high viscosity organic cleaning composition comprising by weight, about 65-80% of an organic liquid vehicle consisting essentially of about 15-35% of a water miscible organic solvent, about 3570% of a nonionic surfactant mixture containing an ethoxylated fatty acid as one of the surfactants, wherein the ethoxylated fatty acid constitutes about 6-38% by weight of the composition, and about 0.7-1.5% sodium hydroxide, gelled by the in situ reaction of the ethoxylated fatty acid with the sodium hydroxide to form a clear, nonflowable gelled vehicle, substantially free of water;
- and about 10-25% by weight of an inorganic water soluble particulate abrasive incorporated into the gelled vehicle.
