The invention relates to a method for producing liquid compositions that have a yield point and contain one or more surfactants, in which a basic formulation comprising at least one surfactant and at least one solvent is produced in a batch process in a first step, and this basic formulation is differentiated in a continuous method in a subsequent second step. The invention also relates to the compositions obtained in this manner.

A concentrated bioenzymatic cleaning product is provided which maintains a homogenous composition under static conditions and does not require shaking or mixing prior to dilution. The concentrated bioenzymatic cleaning product includes bacillus spores, a suspending and/or rheology modifying agent, an odor control agent, a pH adjuster, and water. The types and amounts of ingredients are selected to maintain the bacillus spores in suspension under static conditions, enabling the concentrated bioenzymatic cleaning product to be diluted using a proportioner system.

Compositions including one or more fluorochemical surfactants of the formula: (I) where R.sub.f is a perfluoroalkyl group, each of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are C.sub.1-C.sub.20 alkyl, alkoxy, or aryl; and R.sup.4 is alkylene, arylene of a combination thereof. R.sup.4 is preferably an alkylene of 1-20 carbons that may be cyclic or acyclic, may optionally contain catenated or terminal heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S. Most preferably R.sup.4 is an alkylene of 2-10 carbon atoms. Described are anionic N-substituted fluorinated amine oxide surfactants, and use thereof in cleaning and in acid etch solutions. The cleaning and etch solutions are used with a wide variety of substrates, for example, in the cleaning and etching of silicon oxide-containing substrates.
