A composition for cleaning an in-sink waste-disposer, containing a surfactant, an alkali metal carbonate or bicarbonate and an acid. Each constituent is present in the composition in the range of 5 to 75% by weight. It is preferred that the composition contain 37.5% adipic acid, 37.5% sodium bicarbonate and 25% of a mixture of sodium lauryl sulfate and alpha-olefin sulfonate. Other ingredients may be added to provide desired properties, for example, halogen-containing compounds to provide germicidal properties, and abrasives. |
