ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods for release of adherent deposits from surfaces and substrates are provided. The compositions are low volatile organic compound (low VOC) compositions, solutions or mixtures. Adherent deposits removed using the compositions include grease and oil, shoe polish, crayons, candle wax, gum, lipstick, stickers, adhesives, tape and others. The compositions may be used on any surface or substrate including carpet, fabrics, metals, painted surfaces (oil and latex), wallpapers and plastics, without harming the surface or substrate.
