A cleansing bar composition comprising at least one cleanser chosen from soap and surfactant; taurine, in free or salt form; and one or more hydrophobic stabilizing agents. The hydrophobic stabilizing agent prevents the crystallization of taurine on the surface of the cleansing bar. Also methods of making the cleansing bar to inhibit crystallization of taurine in a cleansing bar.

Disclose herein is a composition comprising a hydrocarbon solvent; an aromatic solvent; a methylated siloxane; and a surfactant. Also disclosed is a method of preparing an emulsion for cleaning purposes comprising mixing a solution at a rate of greater than 500 rpm for at least two hours, wherein the solution comprises a hydrocarbon solvent, an aromatic solvent, a methylated siloxane, and a surfactant. In addition, disclosed herein is a method of cleaning rollers, plates, or blankets of a printing machine with a cleaning mixture, the method comprising contacting the rollers or blankets with the cleaning mixture, wherein the cleaning mixture comprises a hydrocarbon solvent, an aromatic solvent, a methylated siloxane, and a surfactant.

The present invention generally relates to methods for removing an organic deposit or for inhibiting deposition of deposit-forming comprising contacting a cleaning composition or an anti-coking composition with a surface. The surface can have an organic deposit or be susceptible to forming an organic deposit and the surface can be in contact with a liquid containing organics. The liquid can be produced from a thermal recovery system, and the surface can be an internal surface of a piece of steam-generating or vapor-generating equipment.

A cleansing bar composition comprising at least one cleanser chosen from soap and surfactant; phenoxyethanol; and one or more hydrophobic stabilizing agents, wherein the composition is a solid cleansing bar. Also methods of enhancing the deposition of phenoxyethanol by a cleansing bar comprising the step of pre-mixing phenoxyethanol with one or more hydrophobic deposition aids during manufacturing of the cleansing bar.
