[OPLINLIST] Smoke Smell on Hotspots

[Chad Neeper via OPLINLIST]

Forgot to mention....use isopropyl alcohol for your damp cloth. Use a high
percent isopropyl alcohol like 91%, not the common 70%. Higher the better
for its faster drying properties. Again...test an inconspicuous spot for
color fastness and non-plastic-destroyingness. (Yes, that's a real
word...at least it should be, IMHO. :-)
