Date Mar. 30, 1995The compositions of the present invention have a viscosity of from 40 cps to 4000 cps; comprising a viscosity-decreasing short chain surfactant, said surfactant comprising a hydrophobic portion and a hydrophilic portion, wherein the chain length of the hydrophobic portion is C6 to C10. The composition also comprises a viscosity restoring long chain surfactant mixture. Said mixture comprises an amine oxide according to the formula R1R2R3NO, wherein R1 is a linear C12 to C16 alkyl group and R2 and R3 are independently C1 to C3 alkyl groups and an alkali metal alkyl sulphate according to the formula R4OSO3M, wherein R4 is a C12 to C14 alkyl group and M is an alkali metal. The compositions also preferably comprise hypochlorite. |
