Solid rinse aid compositions, methods of use, and methods of making said composition are disclosed. Rinse aid is provided by a solidification agent, a sheeting agent, a defoamer component, and a polyacrylic acid homopolymer or alkali metal salt thereof forming a solid compositions. Preferred solidification agents include aromatic sulfonates. Preferred sheeting agents include one or more alcohol ethyoxylates. Preferred defoamer components include a polymer compound including one or more ethylene oxide groups. The solid rinse aid compositions are preferably substantially free of sulfate and sulfate-containing compounds.

Cleaning and degreasing compositions containing a diutan gum thickener are provided for removing burnt on, polymerized, carbonized food soils with minimum manual effort. The compositions are ready to use compositions and beneficially remain on a treated surface for sufficient time to permit soil penetration without drying out. The compositions can be easily removed with minimal manual effort, such as use of low pressure water applied to the treated surface, and beneficially do not leave residues. Methods for cleaning and degreasing a surface with the compositions are also provided. Thickening systems employing the diutan gum and laponite clays are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaning composition for removing an oxide including one selected from an organic acid, an inorganic acid, and any combination thereof; one selected from an organic salt, an inorganic salt, and any combination thereof; an oxidizing agent; a surfactant; and water, and a method of cleaning using the cleaning composition.

The invention relates to stable, anhydrous concentrated cleanser formulations.

A surfactant product is in the form of a solid. The surfactant product includes (i) sodium carbonate; (ii) cream of tartar; (iii) glycerine; (iv) sodium lauryl sulphate in an amount of from 3 to 15 wt % based on the weight of the total composition, and (v) sodium laureth sulphate in an amount of from 10 to 25 wt % based on the weight of the total composition.

Home care compositions are disclosed herein. According to one aspect, provided is a home care composition that includes a preservative comprising alpha hydroxy acid; and from about 1 to about 25 wt. % of a surfactant system comprising: (i) an anionic surfactant, (ii) a non-ionic surfactant, and (iii) optionally, an amphoteric surfactant; wherein the home care composition has a Micro Robustness Index of 0.85 or greater, and all weight percentages are based on the total weight of the home care composition.

An aqueous rinse aid solution for use in a dishwashing machine wherein the solution is substantially free of poloxamer type surfactants and wherein the solution produces water sheeting and spot-free dishware drying, the solution consists of food additives permitted for direct addition to food for human consumption and water.
