Abstract:
A clear thickened, cleaning composition which comprises approximately by weight:(a) 14% to 25% of an alpha olefin sulfonate surfactant;(b) 8% to 16% of a sodium salt of a C.sub.8 -C.sub.16 alkylbenzene sulfonate;(c) 1 % to 8% of cocoamido propyl dimethyl amine oxide;(d) 2% to 5% of a metal salt selected from the group consisting of magnesium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bromide, potassium chloride, potassium bromide, and mixtures thereof; and(e) 55% to 75% of water, wherein the composition does not contain acetic acid, hydrotrope, betaine surfactant, glucamide surfactant, alkyl polyglucoside surfactant, silicas, abrasives, alkali metal carbonates, polymeric material, alkaline earth metal carbonates, alkyl glycine surfactant, cyclic imidinium surfactant, low molecular weight mono- or di-glucoside, alkali metal polyphosphates, alkali metal phosphonates, alkali metal citrates, more than 0.2 wt % of a perfume, essential oil, water insoluble hydrocarbon, water insoluble organic compound, and more than 3 wt % of a fatty acid or salt thereof; the composition has a pH of 5 to 8, and the composition has a Brookfield viscosity at 25.degree. C., #4 spindle, 20 rpms of at least 2000 cps and the composition when diluted with 4 parts by weight of water to 1 part by weight of the composition has a Brookfield viscosity at 25.degree. C., #4 spindle, 20 rpms of about 40 cps to about 400 cps.
