To provide a process for removing water, capable of maintaining good water removal performance for a long time continuously and constantly. A process for removing water, which comprises a dipping step of dipping an article having water attached on its surface, in a solvent composition comprising at least one member selected from a hydrochlorofluorocarbon, a hydrofluorocarbon and a hydrofluoroether, and an alcohol, as the essential components, to carry out removal of water, a specific gravity separation step of separating water from the solvent composition containing the water removed from the article, by a specific gravity separation method, and a filtration step of filtering the solvent composition having the water removed in the specific gravity separation step, through a coalescer type filter to further remove water remaining in the solvent composition. |
