Abstract: A paste-form glass cleaning preparation having the composition:(a) from 2 to 30% by weight of gasoline having a boiling point in the range of from 120.degree. to 250.degree. C.(b) from 0 to 10% by weight of organic solvent selected from the group consisting of alcohols, ketones and glycol ethers having a boiling point in the range of from 55.degree. to 250.degree. C., the organic solvent content making up less than half the gasoline content,(c) from 5 to 40% by weight of microcrystalline calcium carbonate wherein more than 98% by weight of the particles are smaller than 300 .mu.m,(d) from 0.2 to 2.5% by weight of silicone oil having a viscosity of from 20 to 1000 mPas,(e) from 0.05 to 2% by weight of nonionic and/or anionic emulsifier for oil-in-water emulsions,(f) from 0.1 to 3% by weight of polyacrylic acid having an average molecular weight of from 0.8.times.10.sup.6 to 5 .times.10.sup.
