Ah, thanks and forgive me. I must have missed the original posting. I have a bottle of the stuff (Photo-Flo) in front of me. The active ingredient is:
p-tert-octylphenoxy polyethoxyethanol alcohol I think the key is that this is a very neutral surface-active agent. While detergents, too, are surface-active agents (or surfactants), they are much more than that as well--fragrances and colorings, etc. are added. In a pinch I'd still say it would be better to use the old fashioned "finger squeegee" technique and then air dry than to put other stuff such as detergents on the negatives.
