However, acid also has one main disadvantage many bathroom surfaces may be acid sensitive. Certainly marble fixtures top the list the beautiful shine of a well-polished marble surface is easily destroyed in even one application of an acid cleaner. The cement grout between wall tiles is another sensitive surface. The modern addition of latex to the grout mixture helps resist acid attack, but cannot stop it completely. In Europe many ceramic tiles and enamel surfaces are also acid sensitive, prone to accelerated wear if an acid cleaner is used. As seen in the examples cited below, the use of more moderate pH (in the range 2.5 to 5) will slow the damage, but it will not stop it completely. 

Likewise, thickened aqueous hypochlorite compositions rely on these surfactants to accomplish the same purpose at alkaline pH levels of 11 or higher [47]. Desired viscosity for such formulas may range from 150 to 3000 cP. This would not only permit easy dispensing, but provides good coating action necessary for cleaning toilet bowls, bathroom tiles, and shower walls [48]. Effective viscosity control is also necessary to suspend abrasives found in scouring cleansers. Finally, the choice of the particular amphoteric surfactant is an important factor in the preparation of low solvent hard surface cleaners [49-50].
