The invention relates to compositions effective for the cleansing of mammalian bones and particularly the removal of bone marrow and like blood deposits therefrom. The compositions are composed of an aqueous solution containing as its essential ingredients a detergent having a functionality of the nature of a polyoxyethylene-23-lauryl ether, a detergent having a functionality of the nature of oxyethylated alkylphenol, and water, where the compositions are free from any membrane stabilizers. The detergent having a functionality of the nature of a lauryl ether and the detergent having a functionality of the nature of oxyethylated alkylphenol are present in a weight percent ratio of about 1.65:1. Preferably the detergent having a functionality of the nature of oxyethylated alkylphenol consists of a combination of poly(ethylene glycol)-p-nonyl-phenyl-ether and otylphenol-ethyleneoxide, and the detergent having a functionality of the nature of a polyoxyethylene-23-lauryl ether, the poly(ethylene glycol)-p-nonyl-phenyl-ether and the octylphenol-ethyleneoxide are present in a weight percent ratio of about 3.3:1:1.
