Madmax means like rubbing alcohol, which you can get at a pharmacy or grocery store, though I like denatured alcohol, which I get at a home improvement store. Quote
MADMAX22 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Posted October 4, 2009 Yeah sorry, rubbing alcohol. I use it to clean stuff. I use the denatured alcohol for thinning my dyes. Works great. Probably work great for cleaning as well. Quote

Works beautifully to get spirit dyes off of vinyl floors. (Spilled mahogany dye looks like you stabbed someone in the kitchen. Just sayin'.) Quote
