It is not corrosive or hazardous. It is non-foaming, acid free and germicidal.

Vulpex liquid soap is a safe cleaner for practically everything from paper to stone. Particular beauties for gilding and finishing are: it can be mixed with water or a solvent and it rinses away completely with very little effort. It has become a popular and indispensable medium in all branches of professional restoration and conservation of fine art and artifacts.

It has been used with eminent success in the safe and controllable cleaning of materials ranging from feathers, costumes, leather, carpets and furniture to oil painting, armor, precious metals, shell, marble and stone.

Vulpex attacks and emulsifies dirt, fats, fatty oils, mineral oils, waxes and hydrocarbon with great speed and efficiency. The dirty emulsions are remarkably stable, thus easily disposable. Micro-fine cracks harboring dirt are subject to a deep cleansing action rarely achieved with normal commercial cleaners.

Compared with harsh, acid-based cleaners, alkaline Vulpex is not harmful to health or property. A final rinse or wipe with clean water neutralizes the surface, leaving behind nothing to create future conservation problems.

When the job demands a non-aqueous cleaning system (when removing grime from leather or a water-gilded surface) Vulpex - uniquely - can be blended with mineral spirit instead of water.

Vulpex is available as a dense concentrate and must be diluted before use. For normal aqueous cleansing, one part soap to six or seven parts cold tap water (by volume) is sufficient. More water can be added if the soiling is light. As a mineral spirit soap, one part Vulpex in ten to twenty parts solvent will be found effective.

Since Vulpex is a highly efficient de-greasant, hands should be protected against the loss of natural oils by wearing gloves or the subsequent use of a lanoline hand-cream. Eyes should be protected from splashes. Vulpex holds many times its own weight in dirt so don't be quick to throw away your rinse water or contaminated Vulpex solution. Vulpex is Potassium Methyl Cyclohexyl Oleate.
