## Description

Review: Great product! - This product works well. I've been cleaning books and old comics with it and I'm glad I bought it!
Review: Works like a mixture of Play Doh and a big pink ... - Works like a mixture of Play Doh and a big pink eraser. When my friend's house burned down, we saved the bulk of her soot-smeared music library with this stuff. You just lightly wipe in one direction and the soot residue lifts off the paper surface and sticks to the surface of the Absorene, like chalk sticks to a felt eraser. You then knead the residue into the Absorene and keep using it. I used a golf ball-sized wad of it until it turned the color of a new charcoal briquette. It continued to clean, but began to dry out and crumble a lot. The crumbles will stick to the paper, so I would then toss it and get a fresh lump. A little goes a long way. I probably cleaned two thousand pages of music with one tub of Absorene. It will not remove water/soot stains that are dried into the paper. It only removes the powdery residues on the surface of the paper, but it does a very good job of that. Good stuff.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this product remove unwanted ink from a page, for example a random pen mark, other writing, or remainder mark?  Thank you.**
A: No, this will not remove ink from a page. It’s good for cleaning covers, removing stickers from covers, etc.

**Q: I have oil on my birth certificate. Will this remove the oil without removing the ink too?**
A: I don’t think it would remove oil from your birth certificate and I would ask a library if they have any suggestions on how to remove oil from a birth certificate or from a book. I would look into the hospital to see if they could replace it.

**Q: Would this work on vintage cardboard advertising?**
A: Absorene is certainly capable of picking up grime from printed cardboard, but the “real question “ is can it be used safely. The answer to that question depends on a whole host of factors- such as how well bound the ink is to the cardboard, how sound  the cardboard substrate is and what the composition of the printing ink is. I have seen Absorene pick up pigment and also leave a white residue when it’s used incorrectly. It is imperative to test the cleaning agent in a very small and discreet location (like the backside of your art or artifact) before using it wholesale. If your “vintage advertising “ has any historic or monetary value, I suggest that you take the artifact(s) to a trained paper conservator.

**Q: Does this product contain latex?**
A: The Absorene company is privately owned and is not about  to divulge the secret/proprietary formula of their product. However, after using the stuff for over 35 years I can say that I doubt that  latex is an ingredient.
As an aside, I should add that Abrorene dry-cleaning compound is incredible and can clean (some things) when nothing else will.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works on Wallpaper If You Have the Time and Effort
*by T***R on August 27, 2017*

I bought this to clean marks off wallpaper. At first I thought it didn't work, but then I realized I just needed to persist! Some tips... 1) You need to start with a good-sized chunk—golf ball-sized, at least—so that you have something to grip while you wipe the wall. And definitely warm it up so you don't leave flakes on the wall. I started out using quarter-sized pieces and it just fell apart into flakes. 2) Put on some music and give the stain a song or two before you give up. This stuff is not Magic Eraser—the difference will be almost imperceptible at first. If I saw no change after 2 or 3 songs I knew this stuff was not going to get that particular stain. But there was only one I had to give up on. 3) If the stain has a slightly shiny surface, it may just be leftover wallpaper paste, which you can easily wipe off with a damp rag instead of putting in all the elbow grease with this stuff.
