Cleaning products.

[Rick Mobley]

I guess I missed this question when it came through the first time. I
will offer my input as well. I have been very successful in removing
tobacco stains by using a small amount of ammonia mixed with dish
washing detergent. I even found one brand that had ammonia right in
it which seemed to work as well as my solution. The one I found is
Parson's lemon detergent with ammonia. The caution says "Do not use
to soak aluminum pans." Ingredients: Ammonium hydroxide solution,
Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, Ethoxylated alcohol, Perfume, Color,
Clarifying agents, Salts (inert). Contains no Phosphorus. Dist. by
Armour-Dial, Inc. Phoenix, Arizona 85077.

Can be used full strength or dilluted 1/2 cup per gallon of water.

May be just the trick, and that panel smells lemony fresh!
