Abstract: The present invention provides a composition and a method for producing a composition that is an acidic, viscous, stable cleaning agent with a scouring action. The cleaning agent comprises an anionic surfactant comprised of a linear alkylbenzenesulphonate or alkane sulphonate in an amount of 1 to 10% by weight; a non-ionic surfactant comprising a fatty alcohol oxyethylate in an amount of about 0.5 to 2% by weight; fatty acids with a carbon chain length of C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 in an amount of about 0.1 to 0.5% by weight; mono- or sesquiterpenes or mixtures thereof in an amount of 0-2% by weight; a silicone in an amount of about 0.5 to 2% by weight; scouring agents in the form of alumina mixtures of various particle sizes in an amount of about 20 to 60% by weight; acids for the adjustment of a pH value of 2.5 to 4 in the form of a mixture of citric acid and amidosulphonic acid; and water, perfume oil, coloring materials added to provide a total of 100% by weight.
