Abstract: A cleaning composition comprising at least one low molecular weight polyorganosiloxane selected from the group consisting of straight chain polydiorganosiloxane represented by a general formula: ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 is an organic group of single valence substituted by the same or different group or unsubstituted, and l is an integer from 0 to 5), and cyclic polydiorganosiloxane represented by a general formula: ##STR2## (wherein R.sup.1 is an organic group of single valence substituted by the same or different group or unsubstituted, and m is an integer from 3 to 7). To use it as a water system cleaning agent, polyoxyalkylene group containing polyorganosiloxane, a surfactant, and water are additionally mixed. Accordingly, a cleaning effect free from environmental destruction and contamination, equivalent to flon containing cleaning agents, and satisfactorily stable in terms of dispersion as a water system cleaning agent can be obtained.

Abstract: An object to be cleaned is cleaned with an cleaning agent which mixes a base cleaning agent such as silicon-containing cleaning agent or an isoparaffin containing cleaning agent with a surfactant or a hydrophilic solvent to promote the cleaning power. The object is rinsed with the base cleaning agent alone after it goes through the first cleaning step as described above. Then, this is followed by the finishing treatment by the use of hot air or steam drying. The base cleaning agents can be recovered and recycled, improving economy in the case with the use of two or more cleaning agents in combination. The excellent properties of degreasing and dewatering, comparable to those of flon system, can be obtained using a mixture of silicon-containing or isoparaffin-containing cleaning agents with surfactants and hydrophilic solvents and maintaining safety in environment.

Abstract: A part subjected to cleaning is cleaned or rinsed with a cleaning agent or rinsing agent having a nonaqueous type solvent or a hydrophilic solvent as a main component thereof. Then the cleaning agent or rinsing agent adhering to the cleaned or rinsed part subjected to cleaning is removed with a cleaning agent having perfluorocarbon as a main component thereof or the vapor of the cleaning agent. The part is subsequently dried. Otherwise, after the part subjected to cleaning has been cleaned with an aqueous type solvent or wash with water, the part is cleaned and dried with a cleaning agent having perfluorocarbon as a main component thereof or the vapor of the cleaning agent. The cleaning agent having perfluorocarbon as a main component thereof or the vapor of the cleaning agent can be used for cleaning or rinsing the part subjected to cleaning.

Abstract: A part still wet with water or an aqueous type detergent adhering to the surface thereof is drain washed in a washing tank using a hydrophobic dewatering cleaning agent. In this operation of dewatering cleaning, the hydrophobic dewatering cleaning agent stored in the washing tank is circulated between the washing tank and a reserve tank to deprive the hydrophobic dewatering cleaning agent of water entrained thereby by means of a concentration type filter inserted in a path laid for the circulation. A hydrophobic filter is mainly used as the concentration type filter. The dewatering cleaning is continued and meanwhile the consequently isolated hydrophobic dewatering cleaning agent is exclusively returned to the washing tank. As a result, the water concentration in the hydrophobic dewatering cleaning agent stored in the washing tank can be constantly kept below a prescribed level.
