An absorbent wipe is provided impregnated with a non-toxic, oil-based cleaning solvent comprising the polar oil d-limonene, a non-polar mineral oil, and a hydrophilic surfactant. The resulting article provides an effective wipe for removing oil-based soils such as oil, grease, tar, ink, and similar contaminants. The article provides a non-toxic wipe which is safe for use on skin, has low volatility, and provides a solvent which self-emulsifies in water. Accordingly, the solvent residue may be easily rinsed and removed from cleaned surfaces. Further, the solvent carrying the removed contaminant may be separated from the wiper to facilitate hazardous waste separation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An article for removing oil-based soils comprising:an absorptive substrate having two opposed surfaces;a cleaning composition for removing oil-based materials and impregnating said substrate, said cleaning composition consisting of:a first diluent oil selected from the group of polar oils consisting of plant oils, animal oils, terpenoids, silicon oils, and mixtures thereof;a second diluent oil selected from the group of non-polar oils consisting of mineral oils, white mineral oils, paraffinic solvents, polybutylenes, polyisobutylenes, polyalphaolefins, and mixtures thereof, said first diluent oil and the second diluent oil collectively comprising 94% by weight of the cleaning composition;a first hydrophilic surfactant soluble in at least one of said first and said second diluent oils; and,a second hydrophilic surfactant soluble in at least one of said first and said second diluent oils.
