Efficient method for cleaning by using detergent

Abstract

A method for cleaning an article to be cleaned with oily deposits by using a detergent comprising 25˜80% by weight of (A) a terpene-based hydrocarbon and/or hydrocarbon-based solvent having a solubility parameter of 8.0˜9.8 and 75˜20% by weight of (B) an alcohol including one or more hydroxyl groups and having a solubility parameter of 10˜15, wherein said detergent in a state of having a water content of 10% by weight or less is coated onto the article to be cleaned and then causes the oily deposits to release from said article.

1 . A method for cleaning an article to be cleaned with oily deposits by using a detergent comprising 25˜80% by weight of (A) a terpene-based hydrocarbon and/or hydrocarbon-based solvent having a solubility parameter of 8.0˜9.8 and 75˜20% by weight of (B) an alcohol including one or more hydroxyl groups and having a solubility parameter of 10˜15, wherein said detergent in a state of having a water content of 10% by weight or less is coated onto the article to be cleaned and then causes the oily deposits to release from said article  
   
   
       2 . A method for cleaning as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said terpene-based hydrocarbon is one kind or more selected from the group consisting of d-limonene, l-limonene and dl-limonene.  
   
   
       3 . A method for cleaning as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said alcohol is one kind or more selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, propanol and denatured alcohol.  
   
   
       4 . A method for cleaning as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said article to be cleaned with oily deposits is a floor deposited with synthetic resin wax.  
   
   
       5 . A method for cleaning as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein said detergent is coated onto the floor deposited with synthetic resin wax and the deposited wax is released using a wax releasing device within 3 minutes thereafter while the detergent remains wet.  
   
   
       6 . A method for cleaning as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein one kind or more selected from the group consisting of polisher, rolling cleaner, handy cleaner and brush is used as said wax releasing device.  
   
   
       7 . A method for cleaning as set forth in  claim 6 , wherein a polisher into which a floor brush is fitted is used as said wax releasing device to release wax in the shape of a powder.
