Abstract

An acidic thickened microemulsion composition which is sprayable as well as being shear thinning and readily clings to vertical walls is effective in removing soap scum. The acidic microemulsion composition comprises specific amounts of anionic surfactant, nonionic surfactant, an acid mixture of succinic acid, glutaric acid and adipic acid, and a xanthan gum thickener having a molecular weight of about 1,000,000 to 10,000,000.
