Solvents Uses Used to dissolve soils and remove them from the surface or the interior of materials in the house.WaterUses "Universal solvent" will dissolve most kinds of soils except oily ones. Alkalis, acids, bleaches or detergentsadded to water to chemically react with specific soils and loosen them so they can be removed in water. Prompt sponging with water (IF safe for material) can removemany stains without adding chemicals.Cautions- Do not use on surfaces damaged by watersuch as wood which warps, wood finishes which soften or turn white, textiles which shrink, padding which can be soaked and mildew, materials which would disintegrate inwater, or around electrical parts where a shock hazard could occur.
