<p>An absorbent wipe is provided impregnated with a non-toxic, oil-based cleaning solvent comprising the polar oil such as d-limonene, a non-polar mineral oil, and a hydrophillic surfactant. The resulting article provides an effective wipe for removing oil-based soils such as oil, grease, tar, ink, and similar contaminants. The article provides a non-toxic wipe which is safe for use on skin, has low volatility, and provides a solvent which self-emulsifies in water. Accordingly, the solvent residue may be easily rinsed and removed from cleaned surfaces. Further, the solvent carrying the removed contaminant may be separated from the wiper to facilitate hazardous waste separation.</p> |
