the halogenated hydrocarbons are preferred and perchloroethylene is most preferred the term 34 halogenated lower aliphatic hydrocarbon 34 is used herein to mean hydrocarbons of 1 3 carbon atoms having one or more fluorine and or chlorine substituents the preferred concentration of sulfonate detergent is about 0 5 2 percent by weight of solvent with the concentration of polyglycol about one tenth of that amount these proportions can be varied within the general limits cited for particular cleaning problems the mixed ethylene propylene polyglycol component can be either a block or random copolymer ordinarily using an appropriate glycol polyglycol or other polyol starter water could be used as the starter but it is usually less convenient mixed polyglycols of about 5 95 mole percent oxyethylene units and 95 5 mole percent oxypropylene units are preferred and most preferably a polyglycol containing about 50 90 mole percent of oxyethylene units is used as disclosed above such polyglycols of about 10 000 to about 100 000 average molecular weight are useful in the invention and a polyglycol having an average molecular weight of about 12 000 60 000 is preferred the conventionally used weight average molecular weight as determined by viscosity measurement is referred to herein a 600 ml portion of a solution of sodium petroleum sulfonate penreco petrosul 744 lc and high molecular weight polyglycol in perchloroethylene was put in a terg o tometer test beaker having a stirring spindle which rotated at 100 rpm a quantity of 0 4 g 200 mesh vacuum soil was dispersed in the solution for antiredeposition testing five test swatches 2 u00d7 3 inches in size of cotton print cloth wool gabardine 100 percent polyester and a 65 percent polyester 35 percent cotton permanent press blend were put in the solution also a standard.
