Abstract
This application relates to a dilutable aqueous liquid cleaning composition, typically a dishwashing liquid, which comprises a plurality of surfactants, the surfactants including surfactant active components comprising from greater than 30% to up to 55% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, wherein the composition has a viscosity of 100 to 500 mPas as measured at 25° C., and the composition is dilutable with water to form a non-gelling diluted composition having up to six times the volume of the undiluted composition and a viscosity within the range of 100 to 1600 mPas as measured at 25° C. at any dilution up to the six times dilution.

An aqueous, dilutable, liquid cleaning composition comprising
- a. a plurality of surfactants, the surfactants including surfactant active components comprising from greater than 30% to up to 55% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, wherein the plurality of surfactants includes
- i. at least one anionic surfactant, the total anionic surfactant active component comprising from greater than 20% to up to 40% by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- and
- ii. at least one additional surfactant selected from at least one amphoteric surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant, wherein when at least one amphoteric surfactant is present, the total amphoteric active component comprises from greater than 5% to up to 15% by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- and when at least one nonionic surfactant is present, the total nonionic active component comprises from greater than 5% to up to 15% by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- b. at least one divalent metal salt in an amount of 1.5% to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- and
- c. a block copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide;
- wherein the composition has a viscosity of 100 to 500 mPas as measured at 25° C., and the composition is dilutable with water to form a non-gelling, diluted composition having up to six times the volume of the undiluted composition and a viscosity within the range of 100 to 1600 mPas as measured at 25° C. at any dilution up to the six times dilution.
An aqueous, dilutable, liquid cleaning composition comprising
- a. a plurality of surfactants consisting of
- i. an anionic surfactant active component consisting of from greater than 20% to up to 27% by weight of a fatty acid ethoxylate sulfate, based on the weight of the composition;
- and
- ii. 8 to 14% by weight amphoteric active component selected from the group consisting of cocoamidopropyl betaine, laurylamidopropyl betaine, and combinations thereof, each based on the weight of the composition;
- and
- b. at least on divalent metal salt in an amount of 1.5% to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- wherein the composition has a viscosity of 100 to 500 mPas as measured at 25° C., and the composition is dilutable with water to form a non-gelling, diluted composition having up to six times the volume of the undiluted composition and a viscosity within the range of 100 to 1600 mPas as measured at 25° C. at any dilution up to the six times dilution.
An aqueous, dilutable, liquid cleaning composition comprising
- a. a plurality of surfactants consisting of
- i. an anionic surfactant active component consisting of 28 to 34% by weight of a fatty acid ethoxylate sulfate, based on the weight of the composition;
- and
- ii. 8 to 12% by weight amphoteric active component selected from the group consisting of cocoamidopropyl betaine, laurylamidopropyl betaine, and combinations thereof, each based on the weight of the composition;
- and
- b. at least one divalent metal salt in an amount of 1.5% to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition;
- wherein the composition has a viscosity of 100 to 500 mPas as measured at 25° C., and the composition is dilutable with water to form a non-gelling, diluted composition having up to six times the volume of the undiluted composition and a viscosity within the range of 100 to 1600 mPas as measured at 25° C. at any dilution up to the six times dilution.
