EXAMPLES

[0019] Various formulations of wash media having the compositions as shown in Table 1 were evaluated.

[0020] The nonionic surfactant was TERGITOL™ 25-7 Surfactant (Alcohols, C12- 15, ethoxylated with an average of 7 moles of ethylene oxide, CAS 68131-39-5). The anionic surfactant was Biosoft™ D-40 (DDBSA). The solvent was (a) tripropylene glycol n-butyl ether (TPnB, available for example as Dowanol™ TPnB glycol ether), (b) ethyl laurate86079-WO-PCT (DC60219PCT) (available for example as Diamosolve™ 323), (c) propylene glycol phenyl ether (PPH, available for examples as Dowanol™ PPH), (d) propylene glycol butyl ether (PnB, available for example as Dowanol™ PnB glycol ether), (e) propoxylated 2ethylhexanol having on average five propoxyl groups (2EH5PO), or (f) ethoxylated n-hexanol having an average of 2.6 moles of (-CH2CH2O-) groups per molecule (nhexyl E2.6). For certain examples a caustic (50% sodium hydroxide in water) was used. For certain samples 0.1 Molar sodium carbonate was used. For certain samples an additional solvent of propylene glycol was used. For certain samples ACUSOL™ 845 Polymer was included as an optional dispersant. Table 1 lists the ingredients in the aqueous wash medium. The remainder of the wash medium was water. Cleaning Procedure

[0021] A tergotometer(Terg-O-Tometer, Model 7243ES by US Testing Company)bath was filled with 1 liter (L) of prepared 5 gpg (grains per gallon) hard water. The equipment is then turned on and the bath heated to the desired temperature (25 °C, 40 °C or 60 °C) and agitation set at 100 rotations per minute (rpm). The detergent package and the solvent additive (when added separately from the detergent) were added to the bath when the bath set temperature was reached. Once the detergent and solvent additive were added, the bath solutions were agitated for 2 minutes to ensure complete mixing of the detergent package. Triplicates of the soiled swatches were put in each of the pots. Ten minutes of agitation (wash cycle) was used. After the wash cycle, the washed swatches were then put in room temperature 5gpg hard water baths for rinsing. The swatches were swished around for ~10-15 seconds. The rinsing process was repeated 2 more times for a total of 3 rinses. To remove the excess water from the rinsed swatches, they were put in a salad spinner and allowed to spin for about 1-2mins. Finally, the rinsed swatches were spread out flat on paper towels and allowed to dry overnight.

[0022] Measurement of the detergency of the formulations was determined colorimetrically on a Hunter ColorQuest XE colorimeter. All the swatches used were read on the Colorimeter using the L*, a*, b* values with the reflectance at 460nm BEFORE and AFTER the washing. Where measurements with the subscript “w” represent the washed samples and those with subscript “s” represent the unwashed stained samples. The ΔE was calculated using the following equation: ^^ = ^^^^ − ^^^^ + ^^^ − ^^^^ + ^^^ − ^^^^A higher value of delta86079-WO-PCT (DC60219PCT)

[0023] The results are shown in Table 1. As can be seen having a high weight ratio of oxygenated solvent:surfactant produces improved cleaning results as shown by higher delta E.86079-WO-PCT (DC60219PCT)
