A solid cleaning composition, the composition including: one or more anionic surfactants, wherein the one or more anionic surfactants constitute 40 wt. % to 90 wt. % of the composition; a cationic biocide, wherein the cationic biocide constitute 0.0001 wt. % to 2 wt. % of the composition; and one or more humectants; wherein the one or more humectants constitute 0.03 wt. % to 35 wt. % of the compositions, the cationic biocide retaining its biocidal activity as demonstrated by a reduction of at least 1.0 log 10 in a standard hand wash test.

The invention relates to a cleaning product comprising: an inverted container assembly (10) comprising an inverted container (11) and a liquid dispenser (15) attached to a bottom surface (12) of the inverted container (11), and a viscous cleaning composition contained in the inverted container assembly (10).

The need for an all-purpose hard surface cleaning composition which provides improved removal of greasy soap scum and water-marks, especially on inclined surfaces, is met by formulating an alkaline composition with an alkyl pyrrolidone, and a co-surfactant selected from the group consisting of: an amine oxide surfactant; a betaine surfactant; and mixtures thereof.

The need for a liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition that is less hazy, while also provides reduced surface tension between the detergent composition and the soiled plate, and hence improvements in cleaning, is met when the liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition is formulated with a surfactant system and a polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of hydrolysis of from about 40% to about 86%.
