Has anyone used Butyl Celusolve and if so an you tell me your results? Also, what was your mixture in your love?

Here is an excerpt of a US Patent for a super cleaner using 3 familiar things!

With respect to the amine oxide, R ₁ is preferably lauryl or stearyl, most especially lauryl, and R ₂ is preferably methyl. A suitable commercially available amine oxide is Ammonyx LO, a 30% lauryl dimethyl amine oxide solution.

As indicated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,388,204 to Dimond, et al., it is important that the surfactant component be relatively free of impurities, salts, intermediates, and by-products that may deleteriously affect the stability properties of the final bleach composition. Accordingly, the amount of any such impurities should generally be less than about 3.0%, especially preferably less than about 1.5%, by weight of the surfactant on an anhydrous basis.

The tertiary alcohol is included to enhance cleaning performance of the hypochlorite composition. The tertiary alcohol is included in an amount from about 0.1 to about 3% by weight of the composition, preferably from about 0.50 to about 2.0%, most preferably from about 0.75 to 1.50%.

Suitable alcohols are those having eight or fewer carbon atoms in the alcohol molecule. Specific examples of the tertiary alcohol include 2-methyl-2-propanol (tert-butyl alcohol); 2-methyl-2-butanol (tert-amyl alcohol); 3-methyl-3-pentanol; 3-ethyl-3-pentanol; 2-methyl-2-hexanol, and 2-methyl-2-pentanol. Although 3-ethyl-3-pentanol provides directionally better performance than the aforementioned alcohols, tert-amyl and tert-butyl alcohols are preferred because of cost.
