          Application 08/748,053                                                      


                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The appellants’ claimed invention is directed toward                   
          acid-containing cleaning compositions.  Claims 1 and 41 are                 
          illustrative:                                                               
               1.  An acid cleaner composition comprising:                            
               a) an effective amount of an acid component comprising at              
          least 5 wt% of a normally liquid acid and at least 5 wt% of a               
          normally solid acid, the total weight of both acids are at                  
          least 10 wt%; wherein the normally solid acid is a solid at a               
          temperature less than about 40EC and the normally liquid acid               
          is a liquid at a temperature of less than about 40EC;                       
               b) an effective soil suspending amount of a surfactant                 
          composition;                                                                
               c) an effective solidifying amount of a urea compound;                 
          and                                                                         
               d) water in an amount of about 1 part water per each 1 to              
          6 parts urea; wherein the solid block cleaner composition is                
          solidified and held within a disposable plastic container.                  
               41.  An acid cleaner composition comprising:                           
               a) an effective amount of an acid component comprising:                
               i) about 5 to 40 wt% of phosphoric acid;                               
               ii) about 2 to 20 wt% of citric acid; and                              
               iii) about 5 to 25 wt% of sulfamic acid;                               
               wherein the total weight of the acids are at least 10 wt%              
          of the acid cleaner;                                                        


                                          2
