As a result of repeating diligent experiments using various materials, the present inventors can stay without dripping in the coated portion of the surface to be cleaned and sufficiently exhibit the original effect of the active ingredient, and In order to obtain a cleaning agent in which the addition amount of a thickening agent for imparting thixotropic properties is small and the wiping residue and problems caused by this are difficult to occur, a thixotropic solution containing a natural polymeric polysaccharide derived from glucose is used. It is found that the use of a property-imparting agent, water, and water-soluble salts is effective, and in particular, the thixotropic composition of the present invention can be suitably used as a cleaning agent, repellent or feed. The present invention has been completed.本発明者らは、種々の材料を用いて鋭意実験を繰り返した結果、被洗浄面の塗布部分に液垂れすることなく滞留して有効成分の本来の効果を充分に発揮させることができ、かつ、チキソトロピック性を付与するための増粘剤の添加量が少なく、拭き残り及びこれに起因する問題が発生し難い洗浄剤を得るためには、ブドウ糖由来の天然高分子多糖類を含むチキソトロピック性付与剤と、水と、水溶性塩類と、を用いれば、有効であることを見出し、特に、この本発明のチキソトロピック性組成物が、洗浄剤、忌避剤又は飼料などとして好適に利用できることを見出し、本発明を完成した。
