The dispenser is in the form of a reservoir arranged for suspension from the rim of lavatory bowl, and the reservoir contains the liquid composition. The liquid composition comprises a combination of anionic and non-ionic surfactants having a total concentration of 22.5 wt. %, a thickening agent having a concentration of 0.40 wt. % and a perfume having a concentration of 6.00 wt. % and having a viscosity of a bout 3,500 mPa s.

Abstract: A disposable wipe impregnated with furniture polish or another surface treating liquid such as a hard surface cleaner or insect repellant is disclosed. The liquid is in the form of a dispersion which is a biliquid foam with a thickener, where the foam is structured as an oil-in-water complex. The dispersion has an oil portion having a polysiloxane and/or a hydrocarbon oil. There is also surfactant such as one nonionic surfactant and one polar surfactant. Water is also provided. The biliquid structure stabilizes the dispersion even with very low levels of surfactant, while the thickener retards migration of the impregnated liquid in response to gravity.

Abstract: Pressurized mixtures of propellant gasses and liquid surface or air treating materials are disclosed. The liquid materials are in the form of a dispersion which is a biliquid foam with a thickener, where the foam is structured as an oil-in-water complex. The dispersion has an oil portion having a polysiloxane and/or a hydrocarbon oil. There is also surfactant such as one nonionic surfactant and one polar surfactant. Water is also provided.

Abstract: Furniture polishes, and methods for their use, are disclosed. The polishes are liquids in the form of a dispersion which is a biliquid foam with a thickener, where the foam is structured as an oil-in-water complex. The dispersion has an oil portion having a polysiloxane and/or a hydrocarbon oil such as a mineral oil. There is also surfactant such as one nonionic surfactant and one more polar surfactant. Water is also provided. The polish is preferably essentially free alcohols.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser for dispensing a liquid from the rim of a toilet bowl such that a controlled, consistent amount of liquid is dispensed into each flush. The liquid dispenser includes a bottle for holding the liquid, a base for holding the bottle and for providing a liquid feed conduit between the bottle and a dispensing plate, and a hook for suspending the base from the rim of the toilet bowl. The dispensing plate is integral with or attached to the base, downwardly inclined at an angle of from about 10 to about 30 degrees from the horizontal, and serves to distribute liquid from the feed conduit to a dispensing position on the upper surface of the dispensing plate where the liquid is contacted by flushing water from the toilet bowl. The dispensing plate has various configurations that assist in the distribution of the liquid to the dispensing position on the upper surface of the dispensing plate.

Abstract: A furniture polish comprising a mineral oil, a silicone polish, and a bittering agent may be prepared. Such a composition may be made suitable for dispensing as a spray or mist by means of a non-pressurized spray apparatus by the addition thereto of a shear-thinning thixotropic thickener.

Abstract: A dispenser for petroleum distillate based household products, such as furniture oil, baby oil, or the like, comprises a non-pressurized spray bottle comprising a reduced volume spray apparatus which dispenses less than about 0.8 ml per actuation, and a removal resistant neck closure which does not permit closure removal or easy opening of the container. Lower risk is also obtained by addition of a thixotropic thickener to the petroleum distillate based product, to provide a product having a viscosity of greater than 100 SUS at rest at 100° F., but which exhibits shear-thinning, so as to be capable of being dispensed as a spray or fine mist by a non-pressurized spray dispenser or pump. Still further risk lowering may be attained by the addition of an effective amount of a bittering or aversion agent so as to substantially discourage voluntary ingestion of the petroleum distillate based product.

Abstract: A method for the thickening of mineral oil products, wherein the thickened mineral oil product exhibits shear-thinning so as to be applicable to a surface by non-pressurized spray mechanisms. The thickening agent added to the petroleum distillate comprises a thixotropic thickener chosen from the group consisting of mixtures comprising a triblock copolymer and a hydrocarbon oil, and N-Lauroyl glutamic acid di-n-butylamide.
