A physically and chemically stable mastitis treating composition, in an acidulant part and a chlorite part, that can effectively reduce microbial populations, on contact and for an extended period, said composition comprising: (a) an acidulant part comprising organic ingredients, said ingredients comprising: (i) about 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of a C1-6 organic monocarboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid or mixtures thereof; (ii) about 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of an antimicrobial acid comprising a C6-12 carboxylic acid or salt thereof or a hydrocarbon sulfonic acid or salt thereof; (iii) about 0.1 to 20 parts by weight of an organic polymeric thickener, an organic polymeric film-forming agent or mixtures thereof; and (iv) a major proportion of water; (b) a chlorite part, substantially free of an organic component, consisting essentially of an alkali metal chlorite salt; The composition exhibits rheology that promotes cling to immobilize the composition on the target surface and provides a barrier to environmental contamination.
