Surfactants useful in the removal of oily soil from fabric

摘要

Oily soil may be removed from a fabric by washing the oily soiled fabric in a heated (e.g., between about 100° C. to about 200° C. aqueous solution containing a polyethylenepolypropylene diblock surfactant having about 30 to 35 moles of propylene oxide (PO) and about 38 to 50 moles of ethylene oxide (EO).
