Maybe you can try with a product that it,s call Vulpex QM3/2, this product
you can mixt with water or organics solvent, depend if the object that you
are going to clean ir lipofile or no.
If you see that the water is perjudicial for the laca, you must use this
product with organics solvents.

Asunto: cleaning furniture

>the chest had obviously sat somewhere where it was allowed

>2. The second woman has a small table with a leather top.
>Someone spilled an alcoholic drink on it (Scotch to be
>precise). She thought she had cleaned it all up, but
>apparently she missed some and noticed later that there are
>white areas on the surface. What can she do to remove
