A liquid composition according to one embodiment of the present invention contains 0.0001 mol % to 40 mol % (Z)-1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1223Z) and 99.9999 mol % to 60 mol % (E)-1,2-dichloro-ethylene (t-DCE). The liquid composition has less influence on the global environment and azeotropic (or azeotrope-like) properties. There occurs practically no composition change even when the liquid composition is used in an open system or used for a long term. Further, it is less likely that there will occur a composition change even when the liquid composition is recovered by distillation. The liquid composition is thus suitably usable as a cleaning agent (solvent). In particular, the liquid composition of 90 mol % or less of t-DCE is classified as non-hazardous under the Fire Serves Act.
