Compositions and methods for releasing adherent deposits from surfaces and substrates
View Patent ↗Compositions and methods for release of adherent deposits from surfaces and substrates are provided. The compositions are low volatile organic compound (low VOC) compositions, solutions or mixtures. Adherent deposits removed using the compositions include grease and oil, shoe polish, crayons, candle wax, gum, lipstick, stickers, adhesives, tape and others. The compositions may be used on any surface or substrate including carpet, fabrics, metals, painted surfaces (oil and latex), wallpapers and plastics, without harming the surface or substrate.
1. A composition for releasing an adherent from a fabric comprising:
a) 6.2% by weight methylal,
b) 92% by weight light hydrotreated petroleum distillate,
c) 0.8% by weight ethanol, and
d) 1% by weight citrus fragrance,
said composition possessing less than 3% VOC content and said composition when dried on the fabric results in no greasy residue left behind on the fabric.
2. A composition for releasing an adherent from a fabric comprising:
a) 3% by weight methylal,
b) 95.7% by weight light hydrotreated petroleum distillate,
c) 0.3% by weight ethanol, and
d) 1% by weight citrus fragrance,
said composition possessing less than 3% VOC content and said composition when dried on the fabric results in no greasy residue left behind on the fabric.
