Abstract:
1. A neutral or alkaline viscoelastic cleaning composition comprising: (a) a source of alkalinity, wherein said source of alkalinity is between about 0.5 wt. % and about 15 wt. % of the composition; (b) a non polymer viscoelastic surfactant selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic coconut derived sodium salt, cocamidopropyl dimethylamine, cocoamidopropyl betaine, alkylether hydroxypropyl sultaine, and amine oxide; (c) a pseudo linker selected from the group consisting of a salt with a multiply charged cation, an anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of: a linear C10-C14 alkyl benzene sulfonate; a branched C10-C14 alkyl benzene sulfonate; a tallow alkyl sulfate, a coconut alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonate; a sulfated condensation product of mixed C10-C18 tallow alcohols with from about 1 to about 14 moles of ethylene oxide; and a mixture of higher fatty acids containing from 10 to 18 carbon atoms, or a cationic surfactant.
