The cleaning composition may comprise an aqueous, non-aqueous liquid, or solid formulation. The formulations may include surfactants and solvents. Solvents appear to have utility in facilitating, solubilizing or cleaning undesirable dirt residues from many substrates. The solvent material may be used as a component of an aqueous solution and may be combined in a solid or powdered formulation as an encapsulating solvent or in a solid or powdered formulation as a solvent adsorbed to a solid detergent. Aqueous formulations may be prepared in the form of concentrates. The detergent can be combined with water to form an active cleaning solution that can be applied to various cleaning processes. Detergents may include additional ingredients, including surfactants, preparations, deionizers, bleaches, biocides, found in detergents in general and specific applications. Personal care cleaning products are also described. |
