Printing blanket restoration

A thick viscous liquid composition useful for restoring a printing blanket having an unmarred or unbroken elastomeric face but in need of restoration due to compression of the fabric backing thereof, said composition consisting essentially of as ingredients in a water solvent,

• (a) about 1-10 of a sulfated fatty alcohol anionic surfactant, from about 3 to about 20% of a sulfonated alkylaryl anionic surfactant, and from about 0.5 to about 10% of an organic phosphate ester surfactant, and
• (b) either (1) from about 1 to about 10% of a nonionic surfactant, or (2) from about 0.5 to about 2% of a water-soluble salt and from about 1 to about 8% of an amphoteric surfactant other than an amphoteric organic phosphate ester surfactant;
• wherein said ingredients are individually present in an amount sufficient to provide said restoring upon a sufficient amount of said composition being applied to said fabric backing.
