The cleaning formulations include the ingredients of water in which there is dispersed a terpene, nonionic surfactants, corn meal scrubber and preservatives including antimicrobial and antioxidant agents.

The nonionic surfactants present in the formulation provide stabilization of the terpene/water mixture, do not soften or otherwise attack the corn meal, and provide detergency for suspending the lifted soil.
