I should have mentioned that this stuff was some sort of "disinfectant
cleaner" - supposed to remove "greasy stuff". But I am gonna try the
baking soda - and see if that helps. If not, I'll just have to bite the
bullet, give it another going-over - and then switch it off and let it
"air" for a few days. Sigh.
