Abstract: There are disclosed liquid detergent-bleach concentrates of high alkalinity which are clear solutions having excellent long term stability at elevated temperatures and at low temperatures. The concentrate compositions consist essentially of an alkali metal hypochlorite, alkali metal chloride, an alkali metal salt of an alkylated diphenyl oxide sulfonic acid, and metal chelating agents in an aqueous composition having a high proportion of alkali metal hydroxide. The concentrates are useful upon dilution in forming hard surface cleaning compositions which are particularly useful in removal of oily soils, derived from animal and vegetable oils.

Abstract: Soiled hot end coated glassware having a substantially colorless and transparent thin protective coating thereon including an organic coating material is washed in an inhibited aqueous caustic soda cleaning solution to inhibit the deleterious effects of repeated washings and thereby increase the effective life of the protective coating. The cleaning solution comprises on a weight basis from 0.3 to 6% of caustic soda, from 0.01% to 0.3% of at least one soluble zinc containing compound when calculated as zinc oxide, and the remainder water. Other ingredients which may be present include from 0.002 to 0.05% of a synthetic organic phosphate ester anionic surfactant having hydrotrophic properties, from 0.001 to 0.03% of a low foaming synthetic alkoxylated nonionic surfactant, and from 0.008 to 0.2% of a hard water conditioning sequesterant.
