Abstract:
1. A composition for treating a hard surface comprising (a) about 18 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of at least one adhesion promoter which causes a bond with water and is a linear or branched compound having at least one hydrophilic group capable of interaction with water molecules; (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of: anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, and combinations thereof, wherein said at least one surfactant includes at least 7.5 wt. % of at least one nonionic surfactant, wherein said at least one nonionic surfactant can optionally also serve in part or all as (a); (c) mineral oil; (d) water; (e) optionally, at least one solvent; (f) optionally, a hydrophilic polymer; wherein each of the components of (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of the composition are selected to be present in an amount so that upon combination said components provide the composition with properties of being a thickened gel having a viscosity of about 150,000 centipoise (cP) to about 400,000 cP, and self-adhesive to a vertical hard surface upon application to a vertical hard surface and said composition substantially adheres to the vertical hard surface through a plurality of periodic flows of rinse water such that said composition only partially dissolves upon each of the plurality of periodic flows of rinse water thereover thereby providing a wet film extending from and surrounding the composition when said composition is on said vertical hard surface and rinse water is passed over said composition and said vertical hard surface.
