Surgical instruments may be lubricated by contacting them with a lubricious, water-soluble lubricating composition containing a blend of glycerin and polyethylene glycol. The composition can provide excellent lubrication while still allowing steam to contact the instrument surface. The composition may be provided as substantially surfactant-free blend at least 50 wt. % of which is glycerin and polyethylene glycol. The blend may be placed in a suitable dispenser and exposed to water to form the lubricating composition.
