Abstract: A liquid fabric conditioning composition comprising about 1% to about 40% by weight of a fabric softening component and a colorant system comprising a yellow colorant selected from the group consisting of C.I. Acid Yellow No. 17, C.I. Solvent Yellow #33 and C.I. Acid Yellow #3 and a red colorant selected from the group consisting of C.I. Reactive Red #56, C.I. Reactive Red #147 and C.I. Acid Red #52.

Abstract: An alkaline composition and method of cleaning aluminum surfaces is disclosed which avoids discoloring or tarnishing of the metal surface. The composition comprises a mixture of alkali metal metasilicate and a compound chosen from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium carbonate, potassium orthophosphate and sodium orthophosphate and mixtures thereof, wherein the metasilicate salt is present in an effective amount up to about 3% by weight of the composition and wherein the pH ranges above about 12.0.

Abstract: Aqueous solutions containing alkylamido betaines and certain water-soluble inorganic or organic salts provide compositions of remarkably high viscosities. The inorganic salts suitable for this purpose are the sulfates of metals from Groups IA, IIA, IIB, and IIIA of the period table; sulfates of non-metallic ions; and alkali metal carbonates. Organic salts suitable in the present compositions include the citrates, tartrates, succinates, and carboxymethyloxysuccinates of metals from Groups IA, IIA, IIB and IIIA of the period table and the citrates, tartrates, succinates and carboxymethyloxysuccinates of ammonium ions. These salts have a synergistic viscosity-building effect on aqueous compositions containing alkylamido betaines in combination with micelle-forming anionic surfactants. Other salts increase the viscosity of aqueous solutions containing alkylamido betaines only in the presence of anionic surfactants.

Abstract: A liquid dishwasher composition is disclosed with sufficiently high viscosity for convenient use and good flow properties. The composition contains a natural, biopolymeric or synthetic gum thickener and a polyhydric alcohol and urea for viscosity and flow control.
