Vm&P Naptha solubility in h2o

[Empty]

For some reason after i added the aqueous solution I had noticeably less naphtha. Could this be because the kind I used was semi soluble with the h2o i used? I know naphtha is a combination of organic solvents. The naphtha does dry clean, but because it may be soluble in h2o i feel i may need to purify it beforehand. Has anyone else ran into this problem?

you used it as an organic solvent? what else could it be used as?

vm&p naphtha contains various aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons, which do not participate
in hydrogen bonding interactions, thus would not be miscible in water. have you investigated your sample handling techniques?
