An aqueous cleaning composition for removing paraffin, asphaltene, and scale deposits or plugs from a hydrocarbon system. The aqueous cleaning composition is formed of a cleaning composition and an aqueous liquid. The cleaning composition contains about 21-33% of a silicate, about 20-35% of a peroxygen, about 3-15% of a phosphate, about 15-40% of a carbonate or bicarbonate, about 1-10% of a chelating agent, about 1-5.5% of a surfactant combination. In one embodiment, the surfactant combination includes a surfactant polymer mixture containing a block polymer and a reverse polymer, and a wetting agent containing a sulfonated material or an ethoxylated alcohol.

Provided herein is an aqueous liquid dishwashing composition comprising i) at least one ethoxylated C.sub.8-C.sub.18 alkyl ether sulfate surfactant having an ethoxylation (EO) of from 0.4 to 1 and ii) at least one C.sub.8-C.sub.18 alkyl amidopropylbetaine surfactant. The ethoxylated C.sub.8-C.sub.18 alkyl ether sulfate surfactant having an ethoxylation (EO) of from 0.4 to 1 and the C.sub.8-C.sub.18 alkyl amidopropylbetaine surfactant act synergistically and provide enhanced foam production, in addition to providing a desirable viscosity, clarity and stability to the composition.
