I should probably know the answer to this, but how do you remove an unkown chemical?
I have something on my computer, I think a chemical from work was on my hands and now it's on my computer. It's a white substance that won't come off with water. How should I remove it? When I wipe my computer with water, it disappears, when the water dries, the white substance is still there. I forget what it could be. Nevermind, I used soap. |

Have you tried alcohol?

|
|
|
try some acetone
or naptha |

If nothing else fails take it to the car wash and use the wand on it.

Billy Mays would have recommended Kaboom or Oxy clean

Gasoline works on everything.

I own a carpet cleaning company, have you tried a warm rag with dish soap? Fels Naptha is the bomb, I spend $40-$80 a gallon for cleaning products and sometime Fels Naptha is the only thing that works.
Where kind of work do you do? |

I tried soap and water, it only got a little off. I do circuit board plating, so I work with all kinds of chemicals. I forgot to ask the people in the chem. lab about it. I'm sure they would know. I might try Updawgs idea and just take it to the car wash. |

Well my only concern is if it's acid. I don't want to have it eat away at my computer, it doesn't seem like it has, it just won't go away.
