Liquid detergent composition |
(57) A pourable, homogenous, abrasive aqueous detergent composition, suitable for cleaning
hard surfaces contains detergent active compound which is preferably a mixture of
anionic and nonionic detergent active compounds, and the water soluble salt potassium
sulphate in an amount sufficient to provide undissolved particles which act as an
abrasive. The composition has an apparent viscosity which is sufficient to maintain
the particles of salt in suspension during storage while ensuring that the composition
remains pourable.
