What about another liquid? Is there a “perfect” cleaner, something that spreads and penetrates like nothing else?

Very interested in the answer.

    The only liquid we’ve discovered with no surface tension is helium. And only at or below specific temperatures depending on the type of helium.

    Very unlikely water would ever get to that state.

      Water has hella intermolecular attraction, unlike noble gases. That’s why even really heavy noble elements are in the gas state at room temperature and pressure
