PURPOSE: To prepare a liquid cleaner useful as a face washing agent, etc., having excellent stability with time and scrubbing effects, containing a surfactant, water, a water-soluble inorganic salt, water-insoluble inorganic salt particles, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride.

CONSTITUTION: This liquid cleaner contains (A) a solution composed of (i) a surfactant, (ii) water, (iii) a water-soluble inorganic salt and (iv) water- insoluble inorganic salt particles (preferably containing sodium chloride and having 0.01-5mm, especially preferably 0.05-1mm average particle diameter) and (B) potassium chloride and magnesium chloride in an amount to show a liquid stabilizing action, preferably ≥0.1wt.% based on the whole amount of the component A dissolved in the component A, or the liquid cleaner comprises the component (iv) dispersed in the component A instead of being dissolved in the component A. The component (iii) comprises a sulfate as a main component and the liquid cleaner preferably contains a sulfate having solubility equal to or higher than its saturated solubility in the component A. The cleaner preferably contains sodium polyacrylate.
