FIELD: chemistry. n SUBSTANCE: invention relates to cleaning compositions, in particular, to a gel-like composition for the use on hard surfaces, where the composition comprises as follows: (i) at least, 7.5 wt %, at least one of the selected surfactants; (ii) from over 0 wt % to 2.0 wt % mixture of non-ethoxylated linear primary alcohols, wherein each alcohol of the non-ethoxylated blend includes a carbon chain containing 9 to 17 carbons, or an ethoxylated blend of linear primary alcohols wherein each alcohol of the said ethoxylated blend includes a carbon chain containing 9 to 17 carbons; (iii) at least 25% water and/or other solvent; (iv) less than 10 wt % fragrance; and where the composition is capable of covering an extended area outward 360° from the area of the initial product application, the covering ability is characterised by the transport rate of less than 55 seconds; the composition is formulated as self-adhering to hard surfaces, and as measured by the described adhesion test, the product adhesion is greater than 8 hours, including a plurality of flows of water passing over the composition, and where at least one surfactant (i) is different from any combination (ii). n EFFECT: composition provides more rapid and extended self-spreading. n 14 cl, 11 dwg, 2 ex, 6 tbl |
