Jostein, It's probably the most popular brand of window (and kitchen counter) surface cleaner in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windex "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" movie had a big reference to it. (Btw, that was a nice comedy, imho.) And I referred to that movie in my response as well.

Jostein, the quoting was used to understand what keeps you attached to your printer. Almost any glue has some solvent that will work on it. :-) Igor PS. Never had to use a solvent against mice droppings, but have to deal with those in the patio every so often. Once, we've got mice visiting
