Citrisolv?

   I believe Citrisolv is what's in Goo-Gone and some of the other similar
solvents. The stuff works great for removing labels, ink and the like. I've
never had enough of it to use it for general cleaning but I expect that it
will work well. Two things that I've found that help when using Goo-Gone
are (1) warm the object to be cleaned before putting on the solvent (2)
after applying Goo-Gone to the area to be cleaned cover it with tin foil to
keep it from drying out.
