A method of raising the flash point of a green solvent by adding from about 0.05 to 5.0 wt. % of at least one alpha terpine alcohol (alpha terpineol), based on the weight of the at least one alpha terpine alcohol and the green solvent. Green solvents are derived from organic matter, such as plants. They are not the product of petroleum feed stocks. Preferably, two alpha terpine alcohols are added to the green solvent. Further, the addition of at least one alpha terpine alcohol improves both the freeze resistance and the shelf life of the final green solvent solution.
