- toomuchtodo 12y agoWould not water (or any other solvent's) movement cause a scouring action that would remove contaminates and keep the surface clean?
- darkmighty 12y agoDepends on the behavior with oils I guess. Water doesn't dissolve oil, although it could help mechanically remove it -- but if the material is actually olephilic or neutral it could be an issue.
