Medical Cleaning: Liquinox vs. Dawn

Q. Does Liquinox have the same oil removing power of Dawn detergent? Will Liquinox remove glycol ether residue?

A. Yes, both Liquinox and Dawn contain a blend of nonionic and anionic surfactants. Certain oils are best cleaned by detergents that have mixed micelles of anionic and nonionic surfactants. Using Liquinox in sonication will produce results similar to that of Dawn for oil removal. Liquinox should certainly be able to remove glycol ether residues. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove the Liquinox and all other residues.
