Different colored aqueous multiphase detergent

The invention relates to an aqueous, liquid, multiphase cleaning agent, which contains surfactants, which has at least two continuous phases, and which has at least one hydrophobic phase I and one hydrophilic aqueous phase II that cannot mix with phase I. The inventive cleaning agent can be temporarily transformed into an emulsion by shaking and contains at least one colorant with a Nernst's distribution coefficient K, in accordance with formula (I) K = c Phase I / c Phase II, of greater than 1, and contains at least one colorant with a Nernst's distribution coefficient K, in accordance with formula I, of less than 1, whereby c Phase I represents the concentration of the respective colorant in phase I and c Phase II represents the concentration of the respective colorant in phase II. The inventive agent can be used for cleaning hard surfaces and can be directly produced from its starting materials by shaking, followed by a thorough mixing and finally by placing the agent in an upright position in order to demulsify the temporary emulsion.
