Abstract: A carpet cleaning composition adapted to be sprinkled on and vacuumed off a soiled carpet includes an aqueous volatile solvent, an inert highly-absorbent carrier and a natural or synthetic aluminosilicate zeolite.

Abstract: An improved liquid abrasive scouring composition which has substantially no syneresis is prepared by mixing water, an abrasive and a multivalent stearate in specified ratios. The composition may include a number of optional ingredients to further enhance the cleaning ability of the liquid abrasive scouring composition, such as non-multivalent stearate surfactant, bleach, bodying agent, electrolyte and absorptive agent.

Abstract: A liquid scouring cleanser composition which does not scratch soft metals, yet has sufficient abrasive action to clean effectively using abrasives having a Mohs hardness of greater than 3, comprises from 2-15% by weight of a soap dispersion formed from the sodium, potassium, aluminum, zinc, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, mono lower alkyl amine, di lower alkyl amine, and tri lower alkyl amine fatty acid soaps, from 20-45% by weight of an abrasive having a Mohs hardness of greater than 3, from 1-7% by weight of an anionic and/or nonionic surfactant, from 0.2-10% by weight of a thickener, and water. The pH of the composition is from 7.0-9.5 and the ratio of abrasive to soap is within the range of from 10:1 to 3:1.
