   a) phenol has many unwanted properties,   
       like smell, stability or skin effects   
   b) what exactly does it mean ?   
       like petroether - volatile hydrocarbons of C5 fraction ?   
       good grease solvent   
   c) very good grease solvent, but I HIGHLY recommend against that.   
       Narcotic, highly flammable and due self-creation of ether peroxides   
       the is possibility of self ignition.   
   d) very poor solvent of non-polar stuff.   
      
   Very good solvents is stuff used in painting industry   
   like aromatics ( toluene / xylene )   
   or esters ( ethyl-acetate )   
      
   Very good and cheep is acetone.   
      
   Great solvents are chlorinated ones like tri- or perchlorethylene,   
   but there are narcotic and ozone-protection objections.
