Gel compositions comprising a thickener and a surfactant component including an alkoxylated carboxylic acid ester corresponding to general formula (I):wherein R<1>C(O) represents an aliphatic acyl group, each AlkO independently represents an alkoxylate selected from the group consisting of CH2CH2O, CHCH3CH2O and CH2CHCH3O, n is a number of from 1 to 20, and R<2 >represents an aliphatic alkyl group, are described. The use of such gel compositions in methods of providing controlled release of cleaning agents to toilets is also described, in addition to the containers used in such methods. |
