Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9218600A1] A method of removing residue from hard surfaces utilizes an oil-in-water microemulsion by applying to such surfaces an effective amount of a composition comprising an organic solvent or solvent blend having a solubility parameter of between about 6.9 and 8.9 (cal/cm<3>)<1/2>, sufficient surfactant to support a stable microemulsion, and water in an amount sufficient to provide a total VOC content of less than 200 grams/liter. The microemulsion is allowed to soften and otherwise ease removal of the silicone wax, grease, grime, and the like from the surface. The microemulsion and the residue to be cleaned from the surface are removed from the surface by wiping with a dry wiping material. Compositions are also provided.
