ABSTRACT

Cleaning is a process, not simply a chemistry, so it is important to look at the cleaning agent and at the entire cleaning process, including the speci©c equipment selected. Having said this, matching the appropriate cleaning agent to the job at hand can be a traumatic experience, even to those with some background in chemistry. ¤is chapter provides an overview of cleaning agents and highlights a few additional cleaning agents not discussed in other chapters; it is by no means exhaustive.
