The present invention provides aqueous alkaline, storage stable, abrasive containing hard surface treatment compositions which provide good cleaning to a treated hard surface, and concurrently a useful sanitizing or disinfecting benefit to such treated surfaces, wherein the compositions comprise: 0.01-15% wt. of at least one anionic surfactant and at least one nonionic surfactant, and preferably wherein the amount of the at least one anionic surfactant is in excess of the amount of the at least one nonionic surfactant 0.1-50% wt. of one or more inorganic abrasive particulate materials which are based on inorganic carbonate compounds a thickener at least one non-cationic germicide constituent, which preferably are one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of: parachlorometaxylenol, and halogenated carbanilides (e.g., 3,4,4′-trichlorocarbanilide (also referred to as Triclocarban® or TCC), 3-trifluoromethyl-4,4-dichlorocarbanilide, and 3,3,4-trichlorocarbanilide and, water, wherein the compositions preferably exhibit a pH in the range of 7-10.5, a viscosity of 1000-3000 cPs, when measured at 25° C., and wherein the compositions provide an antimicrobial benefit to treated hard surfaces.
