Abstract
Abstract Compositions and methods for dissolving oils and oily soils employing specific mixtures of short-chain and long-chain alkylene oxide nonionic surface active agents. The compositions herein can be employed singly in aqueous laundry baths to remove oily materials from fabrics, or can be admixed with commercial detergent compositions to boost the oil removal properties thereof.
