A composition and method for making a composition that increases friction between a first surface and a second surface while also cleaning the first surface. The composition is an anti-slip detergent that can assist in preventing slip-and-fall accidents on wet floors that have recently been mopped. The composition includes a synthetic dimerized thermoplastic resin, a surfactant, tall oil distillate, (2-methoxymethylethoxy)-propanol, 2,2′,2″-trihydroxy-triethylamine, and water. The composition may also include an acrylate copolymer to further enhance its friction-producing properties.
