Abstract: A liquid hard surface cleaning composition comprising, by weight, 1% to 20% of water-insoluble, particulate abrasive having a particle size in the range of 1 to 40 microns; 3% to 15% of a synthetic, organic, anionic detergent; 1% to 7.5% of an ethyleneoxylated alkanol nonionic detergent, the weight ratio of anionic detergent to nonionic detergent being from 1.75:1 to 3:1; 1% to 15% of a detergent builder salt, the weight ratio of builder salt to total detergent being in the range of 1:4 to 2:1; and an aqueous medium; the proportions of the components being so adjusted within the specified ranges that some of the detergent is present in liquid crystal form and the abrasive is maintained in stable suspension.

Abstract: The oven cleaner composition includes from 1 to 2% by weight sodium bicarbonate and from 14 to 17% by weight potassium bicarbonate in an aqueous solution in which the weight ratio of sodium bicarbonate to potassium bicarbonate is from 1:7 to 1:17. The composition can be applied to the surface before and/or after soiling.

Abstract: An aqueous soap solution that is comprised predominantly of high tallow soap and an alkali metal or ammonium aryl sulfonate hydrotrope, which soap exhibits the ability of remaining as a pumpable single phase solution even at low temperatures.
