Question 1

Will this product remove unwanted ink from a page, for example a random pen mark, other writing, or remainder mark?  Thank you.

Accepted Answer

No, this will not remove ink from a page. It’s good for cleaning covers, removing stickers from covers, etc.

Question 2

I have oil on my birth certificate. Will this remove the oil without removing the ink too?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Would this work on vintage cardboard advertising?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Does this product contain latex?

Accepted Answer

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.
