An originally viscous, non-flowable and non-pumpable cleaning composition made less viscous, and flowable and pumpable by the addition of at least one thickening agent to the composition. The cleaning composition includes an oil phase including at least one of a hydrocarbon oil and a hydrocarbon solvent and mixtures thereof, and at least one of a fatty acid and a non-fatty acid soap surfactant; and a water phase including water and a base. The addition of at least one thickening agent in various amounts relative to the amount of water in the composition makes the composition flowable. In particular, the addition of from about 2 to about 38 percent by weight of at least one thickening agent has been found to be suitable to provide a flowable composition containing between about 30 and 55 percent water. A method for the preparation of flowable cleaning compositions is also provided. The cleaning composition (13) forms a novel combination with a container (10) as a replacement element for dispensing apparatus.
A cleaning composition comprising:
A flowable cleaning composition containing at least one thickening agent selected from the group consisting of plant-derived hydrophilic colloids, biological polymers and products, proteins and protein derivatives and synthetic polymers, and mixtures thereof, which reduces the viscosity of the composition.
In combination, a container and an emulsion gel cleaning composition contained therein, the container providing at least one port for the release of the emulsion gel cleaning composition, the composition comprising:
