AbsoreneBook and Document Cleaner

Love this stuff!!! Use it all the time for cleaning comic books 📚

My husband uses Absorene Book and Document Cleaner on his comic books, and he absolutely loves it. It works wonders on cleaning the pages, restoring them without damaging them. It’s just as effective on his collectible books, making it a fantastic tool for anyone looking to preserve their paper treasures.

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.

I have 30+ year old wallpaper which hasn't been cleaned in ages. We're getting ready to sell the house, and some sections which were behind furniture or above heating ducts are really dirty.I've tried dry-cleaning sponges, Play-Doh, natural sponge moistened with Dawn dishwashing detergent, artist's cleaning pads, etc. etc. Everything I've tried worked at least a little - but this product did by far the best job.Make a ball at least the size of a golf ball and knead it into the shape of a big eraser - then use it like you would an eraser on the surface of the wallpaper. As it picks up grime, knead it more to fold the dirt into the putty and keep going.As you can see in the picture, it basically just erases the grime -- which would not come off using other techniques. Some folks are saying it takes a lot of work to get good results, but I'm finding that it's relatively easy -- similar to erasing a pencil sketch on paper. Oh, the dark spots in the picture are screw holes. Can't erase them...Of course, your results may vary depending on the type of wallpaper you have and what sort of grime you're up against. I had professional cleaners tell me there was no way to clean the old wallpaper-- it would be too risky. They were wrong. : )

I attempted to use this product to clean some books for various reasons that have been exposed to different things that made them dirty. This product may clean dust off of the pages, but it failed many tests with other issues. Also, you pinch out a small but and it's like playdough. The problem is it falls apart like kids' playdough if you were to use it the same and rub it against the pages as the directions state.

It is fantastic. You do have to learn the right way to use it.

Are use this product and document restoration to remove stains. For that purpose, it works very well. Disappointing Lee, I have ordered this in less than three times, and every single time the container arrives with the lid sprung and a good portion of the product is dried out and unusable, once you remove that product and discard it then you get to the native product and it works very well. I can’t give high marks at all for shipping.

I love books, and frequently buy used. This has taken off some weird stains and finger marks. It also cleaned up some paper,( non vinyl) wallpaper from the 1960s that I'm fond of and not quite ready to replace. Nice thing to know about!
