The extended dwell time and anti-static properties of the sprayable cleaning gel composition give rise to several benefits and advantages. The sprayable cleaning gel composition housed in a spray applicator is usable to clean surfaces at any angle. A preferred method of cleaning surfaces is also described.Other References
