A process for cleaning textile fabric without the need for conventional detergent
systems comprising agitating the fabric in a composition comprising at least two
immiscible liquids, for example, perchloroethylene or petroleum ether and water,
having at least one liquid-liquid interface with an interfacial tension of at least
5 mN/m, preferably at least 10 mN/m, and where the concentration of the most polar
liquid in the composition is from 10 to 90% by volume.
