A previously recognized interface‐activated mechanism of soil removal appears to be related to the Marangoni effect. This mechanism, which may be the most powerful cleaning mechanism in a system, is due to surface motion created by local variations in the surface tension. The effects of several variables on this mechanism of soil removal were investigated and are discussed.
