Abstract: The present invention relates to a light duty, liquid hand washing composition which is mild, stable foaming compositions especially effective in cleaning dishware, glasses, flatware, pots, pans, and delicate clothing by hand at ambient wash water temperature, as well as at warm or hot wash water temperatures. The composition comprises from about 20% to about 40% by weight of at least one anionic or nonionic surfactant; from about 0.5 to about 3.5% by weight of an alcohol which is 3-methyl-3-methoxy-butanol; from about 2% to about 8% of at least one hydrotrope; and from about 50% to about 70% water. The composition has a pH in the range of from about 6.0 to about 8.0 and a viscosity in the range of from about 100 cps to about 500 cps.

Abstract: Liquid, caustic-free, pre-spotting compositions that remove baked-on food residues from hard surfaces at ambient temperatures are provided which comprise:a. from about 1 to 40%, preferably 4 to 20%, of a surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and mixtures thereof;b. from about 1 to 10% of a builder selected from the group consisting of polyphosphates, pyrophosphates, citrates, carbonates, and mixtures thereof;c. from about 0.2% to 2% of an amine selected from the group consisting of monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine and mixtures thereof;d. water; ande.
