“This book had an odd history.

It was to have been the second book title in my name (solvent cleaning).

But, half way through that second book (on solvent cleaning), I decided that readers of my three magazine columns were more interested in  management of cleaning than cleaning itself.  The questions they asked by email were: about response to environmental and safety issues, about why global warming had anything to do with parts cleaning, about definition of and management of hazards, about what makes a good cleaning machine different from a poor cleaning machine, about how to choose a supplier, about how to choose and verify a cleaning test, and most of all — how should one control a cleaning process.

So in May of 2005, I tried to restructure my book on solvent cleaning into a book about management. I wound up throwing away just about everything I had written about solvents………….

It is that material I am rewriting and supplimenting to be the book I originally started to write — about solvents and using them to clean parts.”  John Durkee II
